Ruskin Dam, Hydroelectric power station and gravity dam in British Columbia, Canada
The concrete structure spans 125 meters across the Stave River, generating electricity through three Francis-type turbines with a total capacity of 105 megawatts.
The British Columbia Electric Railway initiated construction in 1929, and the dam began operations in 1930 with two generators, adding a third unit in 1950.
The formation of Hayward Lake resulted from the dam construction, named to honor the first production superintendent of the Stave Falls Dam.
Between 2012 and 2018, the dam underwent an 800 million Canadian dollar renovation to enhance safety standards and improve seismic performance.
The dam and its surroundings have appeared in television productions, including The X-Files series, where it was featured as a filming location.
