Locals With An Interest In Environmental Sustainability Being Recruited

Monday, 29 April 2013 10:55

Those looking to create sustainable energy projects in our community are being invited to an information meeting. A representative from the Ontario Sustainability Service Group was on hand at the final Pro Wind public meeting Wednesday gauging interest in establishing a sustainable energy cooperative in Oxford County. Director of Community Power Services Harry French says cooperatives are set up to service their members. "They're basically set up to service their members; people who live in their community and to reinvest back in to the community. So the idea would be that if there are surpluses from the project that after you pay your returns or dividends it would go back to the community for other activities or environmental issues or other cooperative activities that the community agrees that it wants to undertake". French says the Ontario Sustainability Service Group will be hosting public information meetings within the next few weeks to inform locals how they can come together and create investment opportunities for the community.
