Citing the Green Energy and Green Economy Act's removal of municipal control over meaningful planning and authority over renewable energy projects, Deputy Mayor Frost's resolution is calling on the Province to amend the act.
Of particular concern is the protection of the provisions of the Oak Ridges Moraine Protection Act and Oak Ridges Conservation Plan.
The resolution calls for an immediate embargo on approval and installation of industrial wind turbines on the ecologically sensitive core areas of the moraine.
"The problem is there appears to be no upper limit on the number of installations that could occur on the moraine,"Deputy Mayor Frost told council earlier this week.
