Mammoth Hydro Project Starts in Labrador at Churchill Falls
One of the world’s largest hydro projects begins in central Labrador near Churchill Falls. Churchill Falls Labrador Corp plans 11 generators with 5,225,000 kilowatts by 1976, creating a temporary town of 1,500 and permanent facilities including a hospital and school. Workers arrive by plane, cross Brinco Bridge, and live in a planned community with modern amenities as blasting and tunneling proceed.
