Dam Essential to the Health of Lake
The history of the Williams Lake Dam from the 1700s up to the present has been added to the History and Culture section of our website.
From its early days as a conduit for the local forestry industry through the founding of the Williams Lake Conservation Company (WLCC) at the suggestion of the Nova Scotia Water Commission in 1968 the dam has been essential to the health of Williams Lake.
The history highlights efforts to maintain the dam despite the unclear issues of ownership and responsibility from the 1970s to the present day.
