As BSRA did send a letter of concern to the Health Unit when the original study was paused, it is important for you to know that the following motion was passed at the Huron County Board of Health Meeting,Thursday, September 1, 2016

Under section 8.1 of the agenda is a recommended motion that  

“the Board of Health agrees to the request made during its August 4, 2016 meeting for the Health Unit’s participation in the proposed investigation into wind turbines and reported associated human health effects, to be conducted in partnership with Wind Concerns Ontario and the University of Waterloo”

The Municipality is required to review their official plan every few years. The draft is available Official Plan Review Draft where you can easily see changes that are being considered and the specific dates and times and options when and how you can find our information and have your questions answered. PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE THIS DRAFT WITH THE SHORELINE MANAGEMENT PLAN, WHICH WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR THIS WEEK AS WELL.

During the process of the Shoreline Management Plan Update, the steering committee identified the need to create this informative document which is now complete and available for downloaded on the ABCA website.
