I attended the Public Consultation Information Centre in Timmins on November 16, 2016.
Once again, consultation efforts have been located in "the big 5" centres in Northern Ontario. (noting that this time Kenora was included and North Bay was excluded"
THE GOVERNMENT OF ONTARIO SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT MANY OF THIS ISSUES ADDRESSED BY THE LTEP ARE OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE TO SMALLER CENTRES IN NORTHERN ONTARIO AND SHOULD SCHEDULE INFORMATION SESSIONS IN OTHER COMMUNITIES.
More specifically, the Timiskaming District has a population of approximately 30,000, and includes a number of communities that are not serviced by the natural gas grid. Despite the objectives identified in the Growth Plan for Northern Ontario, the District has been largely excluded from opportunities associated with new generation projects because of deficiencies in the electrical grid.
Future Consultation sessions should be scheduled in the Temiskaming District.
