INFORMATION

The Bronson Channel feeds the Ottawa Hydro Power Plant #2, which is at its far end, and was also the entrance for the Victoria Island crib slide. When the channel is occasionally emptied for repairs in the summer and at the bottom one can see what looks like a wood planked covered corridor dug into the bottom of the channel and leading to the hydro plant. This covered corridor is likely an engineering artifact which improves the water head to the hydro turbines.
