I at first assumed that was some sort of humorously deliberately miscaptioned image of some other location entirely. Then I googled the topic and found multiple sites saying it is entirely factual. They did indeed 'turn the water off' (or, rather, divert it) for 'essential maintenance work' that year. (during which they found two corpses).
Then I started wondering if the sites I found were themselves jokes/spoofs (or left-over April Fools day stories?). But surely CBC is a serious site? (But BBC flagship news/documentary shwo Panorama's report on the Italian Spaghetti harvest is still infamous)
Though if it were a joke/spoof, I'd have gone with "Photo of Niagara Falls during early part of construction, before they turned the water on", so I'm guessing this one is true.
