Community Day - June 21
Approximately 1000 residents from the Castlegar and West Kootenay region joined Columbia Power Corporation and Columbia Basin Trust in celebrating the official opening of the Brilliant Expansion Project.

Public tours of the powerhouse's service bay were offered with members of Columbia Power's and Columbia Basin Trust's staff providing an overview of the workings of the hydro facility.

The Honourable Richard Neufeld, Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, led a special procession of CPC and CBT staff and directors, along with local and regional government officials, across the Brilliant Dam and down to the Brilliant Expansion through the access tunnel.

Once there, Minister Neufeld, cut a ribbon across the entrance to the turbine headcover, officially announcing the opening of the facility.

Columbia Power Corporation and Columbia Basin Trust would like to thank all community members who came out for the day along with all staff and volunteers who helped run such a successful event.
