We toured the Canada plant just last summer - super interesting.

 I have to admit that I was disappointed in the tour.  When I was a kid I
visited the plant on the American side and they let you walk down on the
actual floor and see operating equipment... they had one generator torn
down and you could see how the brushes were honeycombed to reduce skin
effect. (at 60 Hz!)  It was very, very cool.  Forty years later the
American side was totally locked down and the Canadian plant had a tour
where you could look through a window and talk to someone who couldn't
answer any questions.

That aspect was indeed still in place, and is as silly as it sounds. But the first floor had all kinds of equipment and info and stuff. It was also cool to elevator down to the river/ground level, walk through a huge tunnel, and come out at the bottom near the falls.
