THE PROVINCE
FOR SIXTY YEARS

NOVEMBER 2011

BOOK DESIGN

In May 1951 the first members of the Manitoba Hydro-Electric Board were  appointed. Their mandate was “to provide for the continuance of a supply of power adequate for the needs of the province, and to promote economy and efficiency in the generation, distribution, and supply of power.” Many things have changed in the ensuing six decades, but Manitoba Hydro continues to carry out that mandate for  the people of Manitoba.

This book chronicles the history of Manitoba Hydro and pays tribute to the foresight and hard work of generations of Manitobans.
