I've been there. Those dams are ancient technology and so tiny in electrical gen capacity (5 mW each IIRC). They're originally form the mine out there and hydro took them over. I'm sure AJ knows more about them.
Edit I should just read the article:
Manitoba Hydro's website says the two Laurie River dams went up and running in 1952 and 1958, respectively, to support the Sherritt Gordon mining operations near Lynn Lake — a town that was developed by the mining company 60 kilometres south of the stations.
