La Colle Falls Hydroelectric Dam

Abandoned hydroelectric dam in Saskatchewan, Canada

La Colle Falls Hydroelectric Dam is a partially complete hydroelectric dam built on the North Saskatchewan River near the city of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. The dam is approximately 45 kilometres (28 mi) east of the city in an area that is quite accessible. Construction started in 1909 and the partially completed project was abandoned in 1913 due to high costs and technical difficulties. The motivation of building the dam was to provide cheap power and attract business to the area. The partially complete project had cost nearly $3 million and nearly bankrupted the city in the process.
