				<description><![CDATA[CHESTER — A previous deal that would see a Winnipeg company bring $2 million to a beefed-up wind turbine project in the Chester district is off the table. Chester Municipal Council announced on March 14 the deal with FWS Technologies Ltd. to build the new turbine at the Kaizer Meadow Environmental Management Centre under the provincial COMFIT program is no longer in place. Instead, council has gone back to Enercon, a European company, with which it first discussed the project.&#160;.&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

Municipal council voted on March 14 to enter into a development agreement that will see 34 wind turbines built in the area between New Russell and Vaughn as part of the South Canoe Wind Farm. The decision was made at what was scheduled to be the first of three deliberation meetings of council. Instead just one meeting was needed as council voted 5-1&#160;.&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

Why wouldn’t Chester Municipality residents be happy with the project? It couldn’t be any further removed from the majority of them. In fact, most of those adversely affected by these wind turbines live in Hants West, both full-time and summer residents. This project will not only ruin&#160;.&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>
