Lac Seul Conservation Act

| Contact | Links | Print

Description:
The Lac Seul Conservation Act authorised the construction of a dam to create the Lac Seul reservoir (in the Winnipeg River basin) and defined the cost-sharing arrangements to fund the construction and operation of these works. All costs were ultimately to be borne by Ontario and Manitoba in the interests of power generation, but Canada was involved as an intermediary for Manitoba since control of that province's natural resources was vested in the federal government at that time.

The Lake of the Woods Control Board is responsible for the regulation of the water levels of Lac Seul.
