Bala Falls - Small Hydro Electric Project - 2017During the past year, Council has heard more delegations around the Bala Falls Hydro Project, a Working Group was formed, approvals were sought, and a lease was signed. If all proceeds as planned, work on the hydro plant will start following reconstruction of the bridges on Muskoka Road 169 currently underway.

The Muskoka Ratepayers’ Association has not in the past, nor do we now, take a position for or against the proposed small hydro plant at Bala Falls. Since the proposal first surfaced in 2005, it has been the subject of countless environmental and technical studies, public meetings, delegations to Councils, and consultant reports. Its progress through the labyrinth of approvals has been well considered and reviewed by both provincial and municipal political and administrative levels over a lengthy period of time. Its cost to the taxpayer has been significant. - - Read more about Bala Falls - Small Hydro Electric Project - 2017 | |
