The purpose of the study is to find the best possible location within the 3,000 square mile study area for two 500,000 volt transmission line rights-of-way to transmit electricity generated at the Bruce Generating Station to the Georgetown area and a ,new transformer station near Kitchener. The First Phase The first phase of the study was devoted to assembling basic data about the study area from maps, statistics, etc., in order to establish possible corridors for the transmission lines. During March and April 1973, public meet- ings and opinion surveys were conducted across the study area. Since that time the project team has•been working to,establish possible alternative corridors. Now The second Phase. Q. To determine the views of the community about these corridors, a second phase of public meetings has been arranged. These are listed below. There is a meeting for your area and you are invited to attend. A Targe scale map showing the location and details of the alternative corridors will be on display from 7:00 p.m. on the evening of the meeting. Hydro representatives will also be available at that time to discuss the corridors with you: ,e e. ecs SCALEm[ of 'S transmission line study area DATE , LOCATION OCTOBER 17 OCTOBER 1,8 OCTOBER 19 OCTOBER 22 OCTOBER 23 OCTOBER 24 OCTOBER 25 OCTOBER 26 FES—ntral Wellington •District Secondary School HOLSTEIN--Egremont Central School ARTHUR -Arthur Public School ELMIRA—Elmira District High School ORTON--East Garafraxa Central Public School DRAYTON—Drayton Senior Public School DUNDALK—Highpoint Elementary School GRAND VALLEY—Grand Valley and District Public School ALL MEETINGS COMMENCE 8:00 P.M. 406101...
