Dear Editor:

Wind Concerns Ontario (WCO) has obtained a legal opinion on a report recently released by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, and the media release that accompanied it. And that legal opinion states the Ontario Ministry of the Environment is not providing full information on industrial wind turbines and health problems.
The government’s process for approving industrial wind power projects requires “full and accurate disclosure” of any potential health effects, lawyer Eric Gillespie says in his letter, which was sent recently to the Ontario government on behalf of WCO.
“The MoE Media Release does not fulfill these responsibilities.”
This is very worrying. The government crafted that media release specifically to make this year-old report look like the last word on the issue of health and turbine noise. It’s out of date, and completely ignores the expert evidence from and conclusions of the Environmental Review Tribunal last year. And, it’s yet another literature review.
This province has yet to officially connect with the real people experiencing real health effects out there.
You can read the full legal opinion at the Wind Concerns Ontario website, located at www.windconcernsontario.net.
Wind Concerns Ontario is a coalition of more than 50 Ontario citizens’ groups, concerned about the effects of industrial wind power generation plants operating in and planned for Ontario’s rural communities.
Sincerely,

Jane Wilson
