John Yakabuski, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry, was joined by Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade and MPP for Nipissing, to announce $6 million to support the replacement of the Tilden Lake Dam.
"The safety of the public and the protection of our communities is our number one priority," said Minister Yakabuski in a media release. "We are taking immediate action to address aging waterway infrastructure, allowing the province to maintain safe water levels to lower risks to Ontarians, their property, and the natural environment."
Tilden Lake Dam was built in 1961. It is a ministry-owned and operated dam in the area of North Bay, which maintains water levels in Tilden Lake.
According to the province, the revitalization project, estimated at over $6 million, will see the construction of a new concrete dam that will help ensure proper functioning of the infrastructure.
