Rivière-des-Prairies generating station to close to visitors as of August 2, 2010


Hydro-Québec must cut short the summer season of guided tours at the Rivière-des-Prairies generating station because of construction work in the switchyard. This measure is being taken in the interest of public safety and Hydro-Québec regrets any inconvenience it may cause.

 

It will thus not be possible to visit Rivière-des-Prairies generating station as of August 2.

 

Hydro-Québec invites you to find out about other facilities open to visitors. Schedules for each site are available at www.hydroquebec.com/visit.
