new support for
Postpartum Depression
Twenty to twenty five per
cent of mothers will experience
postpartum depression in their
lifetime.
The Huron County Health
Unit is expanding their sup-
port to mothers who are expe-
riencing symptoms of postpar-
tum depression, anxiety
adjustment issues 1py starting a
Postpartum Depression sup-
port group. The group will be
led by a public health nurse
and mental health specialist,
and will meet for six weeks.
The first session is April 18 in
Clinton at 1 p.m. The program
is free and child minding will
be provided.
Public Health Nurse Nancy
Moore said symptoms of post-
partum depression can present
as anxiety, being unable to
enjoy things, inability to sleep
or concentrate, and prevailing
sadness.
Moore said, "Some symp-
toms may start during the
pregnancy, some may come
on totally unexpected. This is
not just hormonal, but due to a
multitude of reasons, from
past experiences, genetics,
lack of support, etc. The
common thread is a feeling of
hopelessness." Ten per cent of
fathers may also experience
this.
Moore emphasized that peo-
ple experiencing this need to
know there is hope. "Society
expects moms and dads to be
happy and just can't under-
stand when they aren't. This
isolation can lead to more feel-
ings of loneliness. We encour-
age anyone experiencing this to
join us. We want to help moth-
ers realize their strengths and
give them strategies to bring
back their joy."

Notice of a Proposed Change to an
Approved Renewable Energy Project
Project Name: Grand Bend Wind Farm Renewable Energy Approval (REA) #:
5186-9HBJXR
OPA Reference Number: FIT Contract #: F -002178 -WIN -130-601
Project Location: North of Grand Bend, in the Municipalities of Bluewater
and South Huron, in Huron County. Portions of the transmission system also
traverse the Municipality of Huron East in the County of Huron and Municipality
of West Perth, in the County of Perth (see map below).
Dated at: West Perth, South Huron, Bluewater and Huron East this the
5th of April, 2017.
Grand Bend Wind Limited Partnership, by its general partners Grand Bend
Wind GP Inc., and with Northland Power Inc. as agent (hereafter referred to
as "GBWLP"), was issued a Renewable Energy Approval on June 26, 2014 in
respect of the Grand Bend Wind Farm (the "Project"). Information with respect
to the decision on the Project can be viewed on the Ministry of the Environment
and Climate Change's Environmental Registry by searching 011-9928.
GBWLP is proposing to make a minor change to the project and the Project itself
is subject to the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) Part V.0.1
and Ontario Regulation 359/09 (Regulation). This notice must be distributed in
accordance with section 32.2 of the Regulation. This notice is being distributed
to make the public aware of a proposed change to the Project.
Project Description and Proposed Change: Pursuant to the Act and
Regulation, the project in respect of which the Renewable Energy Approval was
issued, is a Class 4 Wind Facility.
An application will be submitted to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate
Change to change the Project and alter the terms and conditions of the existing
Renewable Energy Approval to accommodate a minor change. The proposed
change consists of the addition of three new air-cooled capacitance reactors
and associated electrical equipment at the transformer substation, including a
slight increase in the size of the substation to accommodate the new equipment.
The reactors are required to enhance operability of the Project and to comply
with impending changes to system protection/controls, as required by the
electricity grid operator.
The Project's wind turbines and all other areas of the project location will remain
unaffected by the proposed change. The Project's total nameplate capacity
(100 MW) is not altered by this request. The project location is illustrated in the
map below and is likewise unchanged by this request.
Documents for Public Inspection:
GBWLP has been required to update the supporting documents that are required
to form part of the application or which must otherwise be submitted to the
Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change and be made available to the
public. Written copies of the supporting documents will be made available for
public inspection on April 12, 2017 on the Grand Bend Wind Farm Project website:
http://grandbend. northlandpower.ca/index.cfm?pagepath=Reports&id=35972.
