The contamination of Walkerton’s well water has been back in the news lately as we are upon the 10 year anniversary of that community’s tragedy. The contamination of the water supply caused widespread illness in the community and even deaths.

Last Monday, Ontario Energy Minister Brad Duguid announced a new funding program for community renewable energy projects, to be managed by the Community Power Fund. This is huge news for the community-based renewable energy sector, which includes many of our clients.
As a founding board member of the Community Power Fund, and a member of the negotiating team that worked out the details of the CEPP Program with the Ontario Power Authority, I’m particularly pleased.
More details on CEPP, and the application form, are found at http://www.communityenergyprogram.ca/
