Connectivity - The Restoration of 40 Mile Creek

Описание: The 40 Mile Creek Dam once supplied Banff with drinking water and water to fight fires. Located between the two entrances to town, it was built in 1946, but hadn't been used as a water source since the mid-1980s. This project involved a partial removal of the dam structure to allow the water to flow freely, and removal of some exposed pipes.

The dam was decommissioned in May 2014. It was a joint project by the Town of Banff and Parks Canada with funding from the Province of Alberta. http://banff.ca/40milecreek
