Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece will host a public “town hall” meeting on March 14 at the Elma Memorial Community Centre in Atwood at 7pm.
“When it comes to wind turbines, the [Dalton] McGuinty government has not been serious about consulting the public,” Pettapiece said. “If they won’t, we will.”
Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson and Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli plan to attend.
“Industrial wind farms are a very hot topic, and people are concerned,” said Pettapiece.
Meaningful consultation has been a consistent theme for Pettapiece, who in December used his first speech in the Ontario legislature to highlight the issue and called on the Liberal government to respect local input.
Pettapiece plans to take the feedback he receives from the March 14 town hall meeting to the provincial government.
