We have established a Community Liaison Committee (CLC) We know that good planning involves the community. We are establishing a Community Liaison Committee 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 MOE's approval process. Lr ▪ • ✓ I� i • About the Goshen Wind Energy Centre The Goshen Wind Energy Centre will have 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 is expected to create about 250 construction jobs and 7 to 10 full-time local operations jobs, and 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.

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.
