Energize King! January 28, 2010
As the appointed Councillor to the King Environmental Advisory Committee, (KEAC) it is my great pleasure to inform you of a very important initiative that is being undertaken to educate local businesses and residents of the opportunities available for implementing green energy projects in your homes and businesses.
The seminar is to be held on January 28, 2010 at the King City Arena on Doctors Lane in King City starting at 6:30pm. If you’ve been toying with the idea of adding solar panels to your roof or a small windmill in your back yard, this is the perfect chance for you to get some solid information from individuals who have gone thru the process, and from some green energy companies that will be in attendance.
Also, hats off to the hard work of our volunteer KEAC members, J.R. Leo, Bruce Craig, Susan Beharriell, Ed Tsang, Harvey Tenenbaum, Cinzia Scalabrini, and Hans Martin, and to our King Township Staff Liaison Jennifer Best who have been working diligently for months to bring this informative event to our community.
See the flyer (below) for details and hope to see you there!

Cleve,
I think this is a wonderful initiative! I would love to go “off the grid”.
Maybe it’s a bit early for that degree of renewable energy in our home!
Regardless, I will be there to be sure.
Cheers

Cleve, last time everyone got excited about going green, in King City the Anglican Church installed solar panels on the roof of the Church. Could they comment on their experiment on going green?

Cleve and Tony,
It was some 20 years ago that the church put up solar panels. Unfortunately, the technology was not good and severe leaking resulted in having to remove the panels. I have spoken with the Reverend. She is going to announce the event at services and engage the wardens to consider panels again, due to technological advances. She and many others p-lan to attend our session.
Thanks,
Susan B
