“OPG invites you to attend information sessions on our hydroelectric operations in Eastern Ontario,” OPG released in a statement. “OPG has been proudly operating in eastern Ontario for more than 100 years. Today we have one thermal facility and 10 hydroelectric generating stations on the St. Lawrence, Ottawa and Madawaska Rivers. These stations, their employees, and host communities play an important role in generating clean, reliable power for Ontario. See how we are a part of communities across eastern Ontario and learn about our many local programs, initiatives, and events.”

“Interested in learning more about the operations of Ontario Power Generation?” Coun. Clarke Kelly released in a statement Feb. 25. “OPG is inviting the public to the following information session at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre. This is a make-up date after the original event was rescheduled due to heavy snow.”
