It was a sunny day in Colville Lake yesterday as the Premier, our Minister and an NTPC crew opened the new power plant in the community -- it made it easier to take dignitaries, staff and media on tours as it was quiet with no diesel engines running the whole time we were there. After speeches by the Chief, Premier, Minister and Emanuel about half the community joined us for caribou stew and bannock at the community hall after the ribbon cutting.
Thanks to Alvin and Bernard for having the site and plant in tip-top shape for our visit!! And to Alvin and Gilles for giving tours of the new plant and explaining how it all works to our guests. And thanks to Boyd for doing the safety training!
And finally, a big thank you to the community of Colville Lake for being dedicated and committed to this project.
