GARDINER DAM

The 'Gardiner Dam' on the South Saskatchewan River in Saskatchewan is the largest earth fill dam in Canada. Construction on the dam was started in 1959 and completed eight years later, creating Lake Diefenbaker upstream.
An integrated power generating plant, SaskPower's Coteau Creek hydroelectic station produces a net 186 MW of electricity.
