I am currently participating at the 1st Annual OSEA Community Conferene in Toronto. The main theme of the conference is community power. There many benefits of Community power, espacially for communities in Northern Ontario. Despite the opportunity there are many challenges to overcome, such as grid transmission capacity in the Kapuskasing Sudbury Corridor. This grid line capacity is scheduled to be upgraded in 2017 only, but a number of projects are in jeopardy because of that. David Suzuki said "The future looks brighter if we can navigate the political paperwork".
Now that we have the legislation in place, we must make projects happen, but this could take long since the process and infrastructures are not in place. Lets hope we can find solutions sooner!
