Feedback from our 2nd Annual General Meeting & Public Information Meeting Dec. 1, 2016
An important aspect of any community group fighting a common risk is to remain engaged with the community it serves. Contrary to some organizations, we believe the term “engage” to include bi-directional communication between our group and the community we serve.
Our first Annual General Meeting was held December 1st, 2016 at Christian Covenant School (Gym). Five presentations were given. To see them, click "Documents" above or click here.
Our new MPP Sam Oosterhoff, four West Lincoln Councillors and approximately 50 other people were in attendance. It was a very good evening. Lots of good information presented, good questions from the audience, very tasty treats made by generous people and alot of fun.
Sam Oosterhoff, our MPP for Niagara West-Glanbrook was a breath of fresh air! He demonstrated care for our community in attending, speaking and answering questions as completely and honestly as he could until there were no more questions. Further, as guest ticket puller for the raffle (All prizes donated) he was alot of fun!
If you missed the event, please do be free to look at the documents and if you'd like to be notified of our next public event, please subscribe to our contact list using the 'Contact Us' section at the top of this page.
All of us left with a better idea of the concerns in our community and what to do to protect our families from the risks present in our communities.
Thank you to all who attended and especially all those who volunteered. We will do it again soon!

The purpose of our site is to provide a source of information regarding Industrial Wind Turbines in West Lincoln in the Region of Niagara. We simply ask that you educate yourself. We are not against 'Green Energy'. Industrial Wind Turbines are in fact industrial installations, and they should be sited as such, in the appropriate locations, with appropriate setbacks, with no impact on residential areas. There are now two operating Wind Power Generation Facilties in this area: Facility 1: Vineland Power Inc. retained IPC Energy to develop a wind energy project called HAF in the Township of West Lincoln, in the Region of Niagara. This project has a total capacity of up to 10 megawatts (MW) with 5 industrial wind turbines. HAF commenced operation June 14th, 2014. Click here to read more about this project. Facility 2: On November 6, 2014, a Renewable Energy Approval (REA) was issued to Niagara Region Wind Corporation to engage in a renewable energy project in respect of a Class 4 wind facility consisting of the construction, installation, operation, use and retiring of 77 wind turbines, with a total name plate capacity of 230 MW. This Class 4 wind facility, known as the Niagara Region Wind Farm (NRWF), consists of 77 wind turbine generators, overhead and/or below ground collector lines and a 44 kilometre 115 kV transmission line. The wind facility is located in the Townships of West Lincoln, Wainfleet and the Town of Lincoln within the Region of Niagara and Haldimand County, Ontario. Project infrastructure such as collector lines and transmission lines are being sited along the boundaries of the Township of Pelham and Town of Grimsby, but will be sited outside of these municipalities on the opposite side of the road. This large Wind Farm uses Enercon E101 3.0 Mega Watt wind turbines. NRWF commenced operation in October, 2016 Click here to read more about this project. NRWF and HAF Optioned Properties
Several landowners in the area have optioned their properties with wind companies. Landowners from Grassie to the 2nd Concession have also been approached. This provides a strong indication that additional phases and additional wind turbines may be planned for this and surrounding areas. Click here to see a map of properties that have signed up with Niagara Region Wind Corporation as of September, 2011. Click here to see a map of properties that have signed up with IPC Energy as of April, 2010. It is unknown how many other properties have optioned since that date. NOTE: The term 'receptors' on the map is the wind industry term for someone's home. |
