the Association of Municipalities
of Ontario in Ottawa, about 60
delegates agreed to create a
network to swap information, said
organizer Kevin Marriott, mayor
of Enniskillen, in Lanlbton
County.
"There is a real willingness from
everybody to forth some group to
go forward," Marriott said.
"it's going to be a step-by-step
process," he said.
Logistical problems exist in
gathering municipal
representatives from across the
province on an ongoing basis, he
conceded, so some options will be
considered.
The movement is in response to
a promise from Premier Kathleen
Wynne that, from now on, wind
turbines will be located in
municipalities that Etre willing
hosts. She acknowledged the
province has failed to take local
concerns into account by
overriding local planning in the
push for more wind power.
Marriott said a committee has
been established to further the
goals of expanding the unwilling
host movement.
"We want to he a real
organization," he said.
The Unwilling host
communities have called for some
clear new direction from the
province to put teeth into Wynne's
assertions.
They claim the health and safety
of residents living near wind
turbines has been negatively
affected. Meanwhile, a slew of
new wind projects Is on the hooks
that will add significantly to the

rules are coming, but she deferred
to Energy Minister Bob (Alimelli,
who provided contradictory
messages. Marriott said Chiarelli
said municipalities would have a
say In locating turbines but they
wouldn't have veto power.
Chiarelli (ii(1 promise new rules
for the siting of turbines will likely
be released in October.
