Located about 10 miles west of Brandon on the Little Saskatchewan River, this dam was the first hydroelectric generating station in operation in western Canada. It began supplying power to the city in 1901. This power source, which could not operate in winter, was supplemented by the steam plant on 10th St. By about 1920 the steam plant had been greatly expanded and the hydroelectric plant closed. The old dam was washed out due to a thunder storm in 1948.
