Saunders Hydro Dam Visitor Centre opens for summer season
June 9, 2022
A popular tourism attraction in Cornwall has opened its doors – just in time for the 2022 summer tourist season.
Located at 2500B Second Street West, on the banks of the St. Lawrence River overlooking the R.H. Saunders Generating Station, the visitor centre showcases the rich history of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project as well as the communities and people affected. The centre also features exciting and informative interactive displays that make it a key tourist destination in the Cornwall area.
The centre will be open Tuesday through Sunday from 9:30 am to 5 pm through the summer tourism season, which will conclude on Friday, September 30th.
“We are excited to announce the reopening of the Saunders Hydro Dam Visitor Centre to the public,” says Mike Woodcock, plant manager at the R.H. Saunders Generating Station. “At OPG we believe in being a good corporate citizen and neighbour. The visitor centre serves as a safe, inclusive and educational space for tourists, and community members to enjoy.”
The visitor centre closed in March 2020 at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.
