Pointe Du Bois dam tour The power plant that houses all the generators that produce the electricity for Winnipeg. Much of the equipment is original and very outdated. The dam is more than 100 years old and was built to power the Winnipeg's street cars and allow for street lights before WW I. Hydro plans to spend more than $2 billion to replace it, subject to approval. 131003 - Monday, October 07, 2013 - MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS
