Bruce Power has donated $25,000 to the Bruce County Historical Society to support the production of a documentary on the history of the county.
The production, which will be complete in time for Canada and Bruce County’s 150th anniversary celebrations in 2017, will be a high-quality, educational documentary series that will be distributed with a course guide to all schools in the county.
Members of the Historical Society are also hoping to have it broadcast on TVO, said Ross Lamont, the head of the steering committee responsible for the documentary.
“The 150th anniversary of Bruce County led to us wanting to document the legacy and history of the county for future generations to both be aware of, and enjoy,” Lamont said. “The support and involvement of the community is critical to the success of this documentary about Bruce County’s heritage, and the Bruce County Historical Society thanks Bruce Power for its generous contribution to the project.”
James Scongack, Bruce Power’s Vice President of Corporate Affairs, said the company finds it important to support generational projects such as the documentary of Bruce County.
“Bruce Power is proud to play such a prominent role in the history of Bruce County, and that’s why we feel it’s important to support the Bruce County Historical Society in this endeavour,” Scongack said.
