The power station is for the National Parks region. Water source: Minnewanka and Two Jack Lakes. Lake Minnewanka was formed earlier this century by a dam at its western extreme to supply power and fresh water to the Banff area. The dam was raised in the 1930s to increase its power-generating capacity. | |
