Has Bala been singled out for development?
No. However, the fact that Bala’s North Dam was the site of a power station for the better part of last century certainly was a factor. According to information available on the Ministry of Natural Resources website, Bala is one of 17 sites released by the Government of Ontario in its efforts to develop new, clean, ‘green’, renewable sources of power generation to help fulfil our Province’s commitment to shut down our old, polluting, coal-fired power stations.
