#Waterpower is the economic engine that has built countless cities, towns and communities across #Ontario. Learn about the history of waterpower in Peterborough, Quinte West and Ontario’s cottage country in our spring newsletter.

Help us celebrate #WaterpowerDay! In countless towns and cities across the province, the very identity of the community is inextricably linked with the generation of electricity from falling water. Celebrate the history of #waterpower today, June 20th.
