By Rosalind Russell – The Ontario government is investing over $75 million to rehabilitate 10 dams across the province to keep people and communities safe including two in Espanola and on in the Township of Huron Shores.
Graydon Smith, Minister of Natural Resources says the construction projects will take place over the next four years and will extend the life of each dam to ensure they continue to meet provincial standards for decades to come.
He adds rehabilitation could extend the useful service life of each dam for up to 100 years.
The Lang Lake Dam and the Frood Lake Dam in the Espanola area will be rehabilitated as well as the Shaw Lake Dam in Huron Shores.
