The MegaDams, MegaDamage tour aims to raise awareness about the negative cultural, environmental, and financial impacts of hydroelectric power generated by megadams in Canada. Public events will be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.

Subsidized Canadian power companies are targeting new markets in the United States. Multinational corporations propose a network of transmission corridors in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York to deliver the power hundreds of miles from remote areas of Canada. Come and learn about why Vermont should reject power from destructive mega dams in Quebec and Labrador.
