OPG Warns Hunters

Ontario Power Generation says it will proceed with trespass charges if hunters are found on its property.

The warning comes following recent incidents at hydro facilities in the Terrace Bay area where O.P.G. says hunters ignored barriers and signs and entered lands near its dams.

O.P.G. says water levels near hydro facilities can change dramatically, which puts the hunters at risk.

It's also concerned about the safety of employees who may be working at the stations and don't expect hunters to be around.
