Powerhouse @ Stave Falls
Got to love field trips. This one was to the BC Hydro Powerhouse at Stave Falls. This place was built in 1909 and operated until 2000. It was only shut down because a much more efficient generating station was built just upstream to replace it. These generators supplied parts of the Lower Mainland with power for over 90 years and were only designed with an estimated lifespan of 30. Pretty sweet eh?
