OMB Rules in Favour of Town's Interim Control Power Plant By-law |
|
|
|
|
On December 4, 2009, the Ontario Municipal Board released its decision on two items related to power generation facilities. While it struck down the Town's Official Plan Amendment 296, it upheld the Town's interim control by-law which would permit the Town to further study appropriate policies for the planned power plant on the Ford property.

The fight is far from over! There are many options to pursue.
Building on the extensive work that CMGRA, MIRANET, and others have been doing over the past year to stop the power plant in the Clarkson Airshed, a new group called the "Citizens For Clean Air (C4CA)" has been formed. C4CA is a broader based organization than local residents associations, and a number of individuals have stepped forward to take leadership roles. Please click Citizens For Clean Air to find out more about how you can help.
For more information on this issue, please read through the articles on this website and visit www.c4ca.org and www.miranet.ca. |
