Dear Sir/Madam,

Re: Proposed Provincial Policy Statement Changes
Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) posting #019-0279

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes to the Provincial Policy Statement.

Given the direction in Part III detailing how to read the Provincial Policy Statement, the Township of Brock feels that it is important to recognize and include specific language regarding renewable and alternative energy systems. In the context of the acknowledged changing climate, and the positive efforts that can be undertaken through development to address the impacts of a changing climate, the Township of Brock feels it is appropriate to retain the previous wording regarding renewable and alternate energy systems in this broader provincial direction.

On behalf of the Corporation of the Township of Brock we request that the wording “renewable energy systems and alternative energy systems” be put back into the following sections of the Provincial Policy Statement:
• 1.6.11.1
• 1.7.1 j)
• 1.8.1 f)
Respectfully submitted,
THE TOWNSHIP OF BROCK
