We are hosting the 4th Community Liaison Committee Meeting Good planning involves the community so we have established a Community Liaison Committee (CLC) to discuss key aspects of construction, installation, use, operation, maintenance and retirement of the Goshen Wind Energy Centre. While this Committee is a requirement of our Renewable Energy Approval, it is also a vital part of our continued commitment to communicate and provide a forum to exchange ideas, share information and to offer project updates. The purpose of the CLC is not to re -visit those issues or concerns already addressed through the MOECC's approval process. About the Goshen Wind Energy Centre The Goshen Wind Energy Centre has a maximum generating capacity of up to 102 megawatts, using 63 wind turbines; which is enough clean energy to power nearly 25,000 homes. The wind farm created nearly 250 construction jobs and 8 full-time local operations jobs. The project is estimated—over its 20 year lifespan—to contribute over $4 million to local governments in property taxes and approximately $23 million to landowners in payments v• About the Community Liaison Committee (CLC) In an attempt to provide a broad and balanced perspective, the Committee is intended to be made up of people with diverse perspectives as well as varied backgrounds and experiences. Representatives of the following groups were invited to make up the Committee: persons residing or owning lands within 1 km of the Project; other area residents and landowners; members of the agricultural and business community; government agencies; local organizations; special interest groups; and Aboriginal, First Nation and Metis communities. A total of four (4) CLC meetings will be facilitated by AECOM over a two year period. While committee membership has already been established (i.e., the application process is complete,) all meeting materials (e.g., agendas, minutes, and presentations) will be made available for public review at http://www.nexteraenergycanada.com/projects/goshen.shtml All meetings are open so that the public can attend and observe the conversation requests for delegations are welcomed.

Although local Jessica Quinn started the scoring on the first center ice free pass, on a pass from Alyssa Vanderkuylen, London dominated control of the ring for the majority of the first 20 minutes of play and held a 3-1 lead going into the second half. The very physical play gained Exeter-Seaforth some two -player advan- tages with Rachelle Keys capitalizing on two with Amanda Hodgert and Avery Wedow assisting on the goals to tie the game at three. Local goaltender Kendra Nesbitt and defence held off the Lon- don offensive attack in the heart of the second half. The play went from end- to-end at a fast pace and Natalie Reay netted another power -play goal late in the in the half on a Wedow free pass to take the lead with 3:01 to go. Confident, the Explo- sion played strong into the final minutes of the game and Amanda Verbeke found Maddie Cormier charging into the zone, which led to a goal for the 5-3 win.
