CONESTOGO WIND POWER AGAIN

Two plus months ago (Oct.5/12) I posted an article here about public meetings being held regarding a proposed wind energy project in North Perth as well as Perth East. Last week there was another Notice in the Woolwich Observer advertising upcoming Public Information Centres (PIC). The company are called the Conestogo Wind Power Partnership and thay have plans for turbines as I recall just south of Highway #86 and just east of Listowel. These of course are all under the authority of the Renewable Energy Act (REA) which essentially means nearby residents and landowners will have precious few rights. Here in Elmira we had the spectacle of so called democracy with our very own Bio-Energy project, also under the auspices of the REA.

Three upcoming PICs are in St. Clements, Milverton and Listowel on February 26, 27 and 28 respectively. All run from 6-8 pm. and again respectively are located at the St. Clements Community Centre, Perth East Rec Complex (Milverton) and the Royal Canadian legion (Listowel).
