Trespassing on OPG property could result in $2,000 fine
TORONTO, Sep. 1, 2017 /CNW/ - Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is reminding the public to stay safe this weekend by obeying all warning signs, fencing and safety booms near its hydroelectric stations and dams.
"Boating, swimming and fishing is a great way to spend this last long weekend of the summer, but stay clear of our hydroelectric stations and dams," warns Mike Martelli, OPG President Renewable Generation Power Marketing. "Water conditions near our dams can change very quickly and without warning; that's why it is so important to stay clear of OPG property and stay safe on the water."
For everyone's safety, restricted areas near OPG facilities are clearly marked by buoys, fencing and signs. Entering dangerous areas could result in a $2,000 fine under the Trespass to Property Act, or a $500 fine under the Vessel Operation Restriction Regulations.
Enjoy the last long weekend of the summer; stay clear and stay safe.
