Great river

The item is a release print of a promotional film made by the US Bonneville Power Commission. The film is a 1973 revised, updated version of a 1963 film which examines the Columbia River and its watershed. It profiles the dams along the American section of the river and discusses the importance of dams for power production, flood control and creating recreational areas. Most of the footage is of the Columbia in the USA, but there are brief shots of the Duncan, Keenleyside and Mica dam sites in BC (ca.1973).

Hydro in action

The item is a print of a promotional film from 1974, apparently produced for continuous screenings in a B.C. Hydro display at the Pacific National Exhibition.

Includes footage of: construction at the Peace River project and Mica dam powerhouse; public beaches on Arrow reservoir; ecological projects such as Creston wildfowl sanctuary and Meadow Creek spawning channel; overland and undersea transmission lines; Kootenay Canal dam site and Burrard Thermal station. Much of the same footage appears in "Power and People".
