FREE TOURS OF THE BRILLIANT EXPANSION PROJECT

Columbia Power Corporation, Columbia Basin Trust and the Brilliant Expansion Consortium are pleased to announce the first Brilliant Expansion Project Community Day on Sunday, October 2nd, 2005. This free event is located at the Brilliant Dam near Castlegar, and is open to everyone.

Free tours of the Project will be conducted, starting with Senior's tours from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m., and tours for the general public running from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Along with the tours, children's activities will be available and free entertainment and refreshments will be offered throughout the day.

Plans are to take visitors by bus across the Brilliant Dam, and then proceed on foot through the access tunnel to the powerhouse site, where they will re-board the bus for the trip back to the Brilliant Dam. Proper footwear is required and visitors are asked to leave their pets at home. Because parking on site is limited, visitors are encouraged to carpool to this event.
