Grand Rapids, Manitoba
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grand Rapids is a town in Manitoba, Canada located on the northwestern shore of Lake Winnipeg where the Saskatchewan River enters the lake. As the name implies, the river has a significant drop at this point. In modern days, a large hydro electric generating plant has been built to harness this resource. Cedar Lake, just a short distance up the river provides a natural water storage for this plant.
Historically, Fort Bourbon stood at this location. It also sits across the river from Grand Rapids First Nation.
There is a 10$ bounty on dogs without leashes and a 5$ bounty on magpies.
