On its website, BC Hydro says families, travellers and road-trippers alike are welcome to discover a unique side of B.C. this summer as part of the Discovery Day event on Thursday, July 16.

Visitors can explore how clean hydroelectricity powers British Columbia by way of interactive exhibits, guided tours and hands-on experiences.

For one day only, admission will be free at the Powerhouse at Stave Falls in Mission.

For reference, regular admission is $8 for adults and $7 for youth and seniors, allowing a family of four with two children to save up to $30 by visiting on Dam Discovery Day.
