Columbia Power Corporation (CPC) works with its joint venture partner, the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) to develop power projects in the region that will benefit all residents of the Columbia Basin. CPC works just as hard to develop and maintain good relationships with individuals, organizations and communities across the Columbia Basin.

In addition to having offices in Castlegar and Victoria, CPC staff regularly attend trade fairs and community group meetings to ensure residents understand its mandate and are aware of upcoming and ongoing projects. A resource library is available to the public and the website provides comprehensive information. In addition, CPC has prepared detailed scale models to help explain the Arrow Lakes Generating Station and the proposed Brilliant Expansion Project and proposed Waneta Expansion Project. These models can be viewed at the Castlegar office.

CPC communicates regularly with residents in the Columbia Basin through local and regional media and ensures that information on key projects is widely available and addresses community information needs.



CPC has established a history of working with interested and affected groups and individuals to ensure projects are undertaken in the most sensitive and inclusive manner possible. For example, a community-based Impact Management Committee was established for the Arrow Lakes Generating Station to ensure there was a forum to raise community issues related to the project. When CPC developed trails, it sought the input and advice from many local groups to develop a trail network that reflect the values and needs of local people. With the acquisition of the Slocan Pool Lands, a committee of local residents was formed to provide input for a managment plan for this land.

In addition to its commitment to communicate and involve community members, CPC supports Columbia Basin residents through its community sponsorship and scholarship programs.
