Background

In May 1951, the first members of the Manitoba Hydro-Electric Board were appointed. Their mandate was “to provide for the continuance of a supply of power adequate for the needs of the province, and to promote economy and efficiency in the generation, distribution, and supply of power.” Many things have changed in the ensuing six decades, but Manitoba Hydro continues to carry out that mandate for the people of Manitoba.
