Toronto, April 28 – Greetings from U.K.
Dear Friends, It is with joy that we, in the UK, receive news of your demonstration tomorrow.

Over fifty municipalities have written to various cabinet ministers, petitions have been submitted, requests for environmental studies have been meticulously prepared, urgent requests for health studies from physicians and concerned citizens have been submitted. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture has repeatedly expressed concern about the . . .

This is your opportunity to show up in person and demonstrate the public’s concern about wind turbines on Vermont’s mountains. The legislature will . . .
