Amherst Island is a beautiful island in Lake Ontario - and the site of a proposed wind farm development. These inefficient, massively-subsidized wind turbines are being put up without consultation from the residents of Amherst Island.

A Petition to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario

To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:

Whereas, there is significant evidence that the proposed wind turbine project for Amherst Island will have long term negative consequences for the environment, health and prosperity of Islanders;

And Whereas, the Green Energy Act pays exorbitant subsidies that will benefit a few at significant cost to the many, to create power that is unneeded, and that the majority of residents have expressed their opposition to the project;

We, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:

That the Liberal government now respect the will of the residents of Amherst Island, and cancel the contract with Algonquin power immediately.

Please note: Only one person can be associated with a single email address. Individuals who would like to sign the petition, but do not have an email address of their own should send a paper copy of their petition to the following address: Office of Randy Hillier, MPP, Room 207 NW, Queen's Park, 111 Wellesley Street West, Toronto, Ontario M7A1A8
