The Royal Commission appointed to enquire into the application of the Nova Scotia Light and Power Company Ltd. (later known as Nova Scotia Power Commission) to develop Gold River for the generation of Hydro Electric Energy was established by Order-In-Council on June 9, 1961. Russell McInnes, Queens Counsel lawyer, was appointed commissioner. His mandate was to establish the facts in the Company’s application, as well as examine the objections to, and support for the application to develop Gold River, Lunenburg County, NS to generate hydro-electric power. Public notice was given in Halifax and Bridgewater newspapers in June 1961, 2 days of hearings were held July 6 and 13, 1961 during which 20 witnesses were heard and 35 exhibits were tabled as evidence. Written submissions were also received. Commissioner McInnes submitted his final report to Government on September 22, 1961 and the Commission disbanded.
