La Colle Falls Hydroelectric Dam
La Colle Falls Hydroelectric Dam is a partially complete hydroelectric dam built by the City of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

The motivation of building the dam was to provide cheap power and attract business to the area.〔(Saskatchewan Settlerment Experience )〕 The partially complete project had cost nearly $3 million and nearly bankrupted the city in the process.
The site is named after fur trader John Cole, who established a trading post near the rapids in 1776.〔(Prince Albert Patriot Rivers Of Trivia )〕
