Community Windfarms--in development!

Come hear Doug Fyfe, General Manager of Ontario's first community windfarm, Countryside Energy Co-op, and Sandra Mooibroek, President of Community Renewable Energy Waterloo, explain the benefits of wind energy and opportunities for Waterloo Region landowners and wind energy advocates. Representatives of Local Initiatives for Future Energy Co-op Inc. will also be on hand to give a brief presentation of an exciting new project now getting underway in Baden.

Free admission and no need to reserve a seat--we'll be in the auditorium. Directions and a map to KPL can be found at http://www.kpl.org/ayl_main_lib.shtml
