The group has been formed and has an initial committee structure and volunteers.  Our new website. www.c4ca.org,  has also been created.  

BUT WE DO NEED HELP in many ways. Your geographic boundaries do not matter we have members from allover the SWGTA.

First, join the organization by sending an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . There are no membership fees. If we have your email address we will send bulletins

Second, we need money to hire selected experts – on top of the swelling serious volunteers. You can donate by sending cheques to Citizens for Clean Air, 288 Benita Court, Oakville, Ontario L6J4L2 or you can donate using your credit card by using our Pay Pal facility (you do not have to join pay pal).. so conveniently click here.  This will also register you as a member and you will start getting Newsletters.

For interest sake, you can type in your home address here and see how far you are from the plant which is going in just behind the Claybrooke building at 1453 Cornwall: http://www.cmgra.org/issues/power-plant/distance-from-your-home

Needless to say this is a topic that will have strong opinions on both sides of the debate.  You can be your own judge.

To get more involved please start to educate yourself on the facts. Good places to start are: www.cmgra.org or www.miranet.ca 

Together there is still time to stop the power plant. Support this effort by purchasing a lawn sign from the Citizens for Clean Air, www.c4ca.org.
