Brant Tract won’t be home to turbines

Bruce County councillors have turned down a request to lease one of the county's premier recreational woodlands for industrial wind development.

Councillors accepted a request by Chris LaForest, the county's director of planning, to decline a proposal from Elexco Ltd. on behalf of its client, Pattern Ontario Wind Development, to lease the entire 850-acre Brant Tract County Forest as an industrial wind energy park.

"Department staff have evaluated the proposal and it is felt that the proposal is not consistent with the initial intent of the agreement forest program, nor is consistent with the managed forest objectives adopted by the county," LaForest said after a meeting of the agriculture, tourism and planning committee in Port Elgin Thursday.

Rock Formations in Ontario Sunset Country

The rocks up here take many shapes and forms. Constant weathering from waves, heat from the sun and from ice and frost work together in creating a menagerie of nature.

"'We've brought the cottage shoreline to the city with our paddling demonstration pool featuring canoeing, kayaking and even rowing presentations,' Sheffield said.

'Happy Camper' Kevin Callan will demonstrate solo canoeing skills while paddler Mike Ormsby performs the canoe ballet with his boat dancing to music on the water.

Ed Begley Jr. of Planet Earth's TV series, Life with Ed, will tell cottagers how green practices can save money as well as saving the planet (March 26, 1 p.m.).

The show features 450 exhibitors along with the Cottage Dock Party for beer and wine sampling, tasty treats from the Cottage Kitchen, building and design tips and activities for children."
