Around Town: John Hart Replacement Project Open House on July 17
The second annual community event is being held on Sunday, July 17, from 10 am to 3 pm. BC Hydro and InPower BC, are pleased to invite the public to the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project community event – a unique opportunity to see the construction site. Scheduled activities include a tour at the construction site, displays and activities at the interpretive centre area, barbecue provided by the Kinsmen club, community booth displays and bucket rides in a BC Hydro line truck.
The only permitted way to get to the site is by the free passenger bus service. Passengers will be picked up on Shoppers Row, directly in front of Spirit Square in Campbell River. Buses will run approximately every 10 minutes beginning at 9:30 am until about 2:30 pm. A continuous loop will run from Shoppers Row to the two construction site locations (at the underground portals and John Hart dam) to the interpretive centre area, and then back downtown. The project team will have a tour guide on each bus.
Construction activity will be shut down for this event so people can walk around the defined areas (there will be no access into the underground tunnels), and see the unique construction equipment.
Come and see the exciting work on this legacy project for Campbell River and BC Hydro! If you have any questions in advance of the event please contact Stephen steve.watson@bchydro.com or 250.755.4795.
