Bruce Power completes Unit 3 reactor planned outage
Bruce Power's Unit 3 was
reconnected to Ontario's elec-
tricity grid on July 29 marking
the end of the planned main-
tenance outage.
"The successful return of
Unit 3 provides Ontario fami-
lies and businesses with 780
megawatts of safe, clean, reli-
able, low-cost nuclear energy
in time for the Civic Holiday
weekend," said Len Clewett,
chief nuclear officer. "During
these hot summer months,
when air conditioners are
running on high, Bruce Power
reliably provides over 30 per
cent of Ontario's electricity at
30 per cent less than the aver-
age residential price of power."
During planned outages at
Bruce Power, the company
completes a range of work
including inspection activi-
ties, maintenance and
targeted investments to
deliver safe, reliable opera-
tions and to meet the com-
pany's role in Ontario's
Long -Term Energy Plan.
Weptler passionate about raising BlackHorse recaps Men's Night
awareness of tulip tree in Lucknow and 'The Legends' Invitational

Weptler's attitude towards
her tree is part of a larger trend
towards a new movement
called green infrastructure,
which aims to solve climate
change through incorporating
and embracing trees, bush
and the like in urban settings.
Green infrastructure is the
opposite of what is called
grey infrastructure, which
includes buildings, streets
and industrial areas.
However, Ellis says munic-
ipalities are moving away
from grey infrastructure with
several in Ontario having
adopted green infrastructure
initiatives.
"The days of cavalierly
chopping down a tree just
because you don't think it
has value, for me anyway,
are over. We need to recog-
nize that the trees we have
took a long time to get there,"
she said.
Which is a good thing, she
said, as it's getting harder
and harder for new trees to
take root and grow due to a
lack of water which has
caused the recent ban on
open fires in both Kincar-
dine and Huron -Kinloss
municipalities.
Her organization should
be planting, she said, but
they aren't because it's too
dry out.
"It's really important that
we save the trees we got," she
said, making necessary peo-
ple like Weptler who have
this enthusiasm for urban
greenery.
"She's helping to raise the
profile of the urban forest in
Lucknow, and if she influ-
ences a few people to say,
'wow, we never really
thought about this before,'
this is great. So I say, good
for her," she said.
McLaven, from Forest
Ontario, said it's people such
as Weptler who encourage
municipalities to make the
change from grey to green
infrastructure.
"It is very important to
have people who are pas-
sionate about trees because
it tends to drive the emo-
tions among other people,"
she said. "We have places all
over the province that have
no tree cutting bylaws that
will help to protect some of
these significant trees."
It is their passion for trees
that get the ball rolling on
making tangible change in
our communities, she said.
"From somebody who's
trying to build community
awareness about the value of
trees, that's pretty impres-
sive," she said.
