Electrifying!

It’s hard to imagine what things would have been like before electricity, but let’s just say it was a lot less safe or fun. Some of the changes lasted, and some didn’t. 

From water and coal to nuclear plants and solar farms, Canada has used many different ways to generate that electricity, and lots more to move it to homes and businesses. 

Power was so important that Manitoba made a huge push to get electricity to farms starting in the 1940s. 

Electrification also meant big changes in Canadian homes and the way families spent their time. The story of electricity in Canada is your story, too. Get energized with the February issue of Kayak!
