PUBLIC COMMUNITY MEETING SUMMARY REPORT
INTRODUCTION

1.0
INTRODUCTION
In November 2014 the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) released a Request for
Proposal (RFP) for up to 300 MW of wind energy, as the first phase of its Large Renewable
Procurement (LRP) process. RFP responses are due September 1, 2015 and the IESO targets to
award contracts by the end of this year. The IESO undertook a Request for Qualification process
(RFQ) in 2014 to qualify eligible proponents (Applicants) to respond to the LRP. Kruger Energy Inc.
(Kruger) was one of the successful qualified Applicants allowed to move forward into the RFP.
A Public Community Meeting is required under Section 3.2.5 (c) of the LRP Rules, and a Public
Community Meeting Summary Report must be provided to the Clerks of the Project
Communities, and made public on the Project website. This Summary of the Public Community
Meeting held on Thursday, June 18, 2015 is part of Kruger’s commitment to inform and consult
with local communities and stakeholders regarding the proposed Project. The Public Community
Meeting was organized by Kruger to present an overview of the LRP process and to gather input
and comments on the Project. This Report presents a summary of the consultation activities and
feedback associated with this Public Community Meeting.

CONSULTATION PROCESS
NOTIFICATION OF THE PUBLIC COMMUNITY MEETING
In the early stages of the LRP process, Kruger developed a contact list wherein regulatory
agencies and those with a potential interest in the Project were identified. This list was also
developed to ensure adherence with the requirements for notification under Section
3.2.5(d)(i)(4) of the LRP Rules. As Kruger received feedback, contacts were added or removed
from this list. The Notice of the Public Community Meeting (Appendix A) was distributed via
Canada Post on May 30, 2015 as follows:

Q: What are a few no-no’s as the host of the
party? (Like — don’t get too drunk)
Obviously, do not get carried away with your
drinking as more than anyone else, you need
to have a clear mind throughout the night so
that everyone else can enjoy their evening. Be
attentive to your guests and spend as much
time with them as possible. Plan ahead so
you’re not spending all the time in the kitchen.
Most importantly relax, everything will go
according to plan.
3 parts soda
2 lime wedges
Mint sprig
In a glass with ice, squeeze one
lime wedge and discard it. Add
vodka, top with chilled soda and
garnish with lime and mint.

fix” process started. My esthetician mixed the self-activating oxygen mask with some water that
turned into a frothy consistency.
She then let it hang out on my
skin for a few minutes and I could
feel the bubbles working. It was
tingly, and there was an intense
effervescent feel on my face.
The great thing about the
mask is that it works on all skin
types and it’s fast. The key active
ingredients include vitamin C,
a triple oxygen complex, grapeseed extract, rice bran and aloe:
All these ingredients help the
skin look and feel more toned,
as well as give it a nice glow.
After the facial, I sat down with

ow do you find your bliss?
For me, it can be as
simple as getting a great night’s
sleep. Some days call for more
therapy than others, though,
and then I’m all about hitting
the spa. I first discovered Bliss
Spa in Los Angeles when I lived
there and life was — to say the
least — hectic! Then on a trip to
New York, I stumbled into their
SoHo location and I was hooked.
No matter where I was, as soon
I walked into Bliss, I was a happy
girl again — and I came out looking like a better version of myself.
So when I heard about a media
opportunity to try some of Bliss’s
new products and score their signature mini Triple Oxygen Facial, I
could hardly wait for the appointment. (Having the Sky Suite on
the 40th floor at the Trump Hotel
in Toronto as the makeshift spa
wasn’t bad business either.)
The mini facial started with a
quick cleanse and then the “quick

n BEAUTY: Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Foaming Mask
Mike Indursky, president of Blissworld, to get the scoop on all
things beauty, and of course, oxygen. He says that he is very happy
to be working with ACI beauty distributors for the Canadian market, a new direction for the company that will help the brand
“come to life the way it should.”
As for how the oxygen gets into
the mask, he admits to knowing
more about why people love the
mask and the treatment so much.
“Globally, there is an increase
in pollution and sometimes
it doesn’t seem bad, but it’s
really bad,” says Indursky.
“Environmental aggressors and free-radicals.. rob your
skin of oxygen, and the anti-oxidants and oxygen in our products help destroy (these) which
will prevent premature aging.”
Preventing aging , getting
healthy glowing skin and looking like you just got 12-hours
of sleep — all from a mask?
Sounds like bliss to me.

husband had an emotional affair
and then is able to run into this
person and act as if nothing
had happened, isn’t that a good
thing? If he acted all weird,
secretive and intimate — that
would be an indication that this
contact was a trigger for him. But
really, it seems to be a trigger for
you.
If your husband truly IS
addicted and you want to stay
with him, then you should take
a page out of the addiction and
recovery playbook and understand that you are powerless to
control him. You may choose
to love him through this, or you
may choose to leave him over
this.
You might also realize that
if you see this person and hold
your head up and “act” like
nothing has happened, it is one
way to reclaim your own life and
get some of your power back.
��
nence. Otherwise these social
functions provide a fix rather
than a cure to his problem.
Your advice?
— HEARTBROKEN
Dear Heartbroken: You
equate your husband’s emotional affair with an addiction.
So yes, it would be easiest on you
if your husband would agree to
totally abstain from social contact with this person.
But he won’t. So the only
question you need to answer for
yourself now is: “What’s next for
me?”
My own take is that, if your

AMY
In a glass with ice, squeeze one
lemon wedge and discard it. Add
vodka, top with chilled soda and
garnish with lemon and basil.

n ADVICE
Dear Amy: Am I asking too
much to expect my husband
to eliminate all contact and
exposure to his (former) emotional affair partner? He feels
my requests are unreasonable
and continues to attend social
functions, knowing full well that
she will also be in attendance.
He remains friendly with her as
though nothing happened.
This affair nearly ended our
marriage and I long for a total
commitment without further
exposure to his past addiction.
My former therapist felt that my
husband should understand my
position and be willing to make
that commitment to me and to
our marriage. I relive the entire
heartbreaking period of our
marriage each time I see him
choose to be around her.
I can only assume this is truly
an addiction that must be dealt
with, beginning with total absti-

VODKA
AND SODA
Q: What are some must-have garnishes,
and mixes to guarantee the most versatile
list of cocktail options?
Very simple choices like orange, lemon, lime
and grapefruit to start with, followed closely
by olives and onions if you are adding dry
martinis to your menu. Always try to get a
few seasonal ingredients too — strawberries
and raspberries are great options — they are
cheaper during the summer season and they
obviously add great flavour and colour to
your cocktails.
��
Q: How many different drinks options
should you give your guests?
I would go for two alcoholic cocktails and
a non-alcoholic option, plus classic sodas
and water. For the alcoholic cocktails, a long
refreshing cocktail and a slightly stronger
option is always good. Don’t forget it’s almost
summer, and it’s getting warmer and you want
everyone to be able to enjoy themselves.
�������� ����
Q: What kinds of snacks are best
for an al fresco party, and how much
should you plan to serve?
I tend to think of barbecues for summer
soirees, as it is always a perfect opportunity
to get the fire going and a great atmosphere
when you organize one. Salads and snacks
always work well too; ceviche and salads will
bring a fresh note to the evening and will
help guests to enjoy their evening without
getting too full. Plus you can prepare them
in advance. If you start with canapés or
amuses bouche, I would recommend five
to seven pieces per guest. If there is dinner
afterwards, that should be enough for a two
hour-long aperitif, otherwise double the
amount for the same timings.

Summer entertaining is all about crisp, refreshing cocktails, where one is
encouraged to utilize fresh herbs alongside the usual cast of delicious characters — spritzes of citrus, freshly sliced fruit, sparkling juices and water.
Perhaps you’re planning a gathering for an intimate handful of friends or something more substantial. Either way, Julien Lafond, ambassador for the iconic
Grey Goose label, recently offered the following tips and ideas for the perfect
party when the season’s daytime heat spills well into the evening’s coolness:

Doctor feted for technological innovation
tor for southwestern Ontario,
credited Chandrasena’s visionary efforts for providing psychiatric clinics to several areas of the
province.
“Under his leadership, telepsychiatry clinics at CKHA have
improved access to psychiatry
services in under-served areas
and communities in this region
and beyond, including Leamington, Wallaceburg, Newbury,
Grand Bend and even out to
Woodstock,” said Feltz.
He is also using the videoconferencing service to reach out to
family members of patients who
live outside the province.
Saying the award is a partnership, Chandrasena noted that
OTN provides a secure connection, which is vital for keeping
patient information private.
“It ’s extremely impor tant
because we are dealing with
patient information that is confidential and that is why you need
an organization such as OTN
that secures that information and
guarantees the security that we
need for confidential information
going to and fro between organizations,” he said.
OTN is a not-for-profit organization that is funded by the
Ontario government and Canada
Health Infoway.
OTN launched the new awards
program to recognize leaders in
each of Ontario’s Local Health
Integration Networks.
Chandrasena is the first to
receive the award within the Erie
St. Clair LHIN.

Chatham psychiatrist Dr. Ranjith Chandrasena is among the
first healthcare leaders in Ontario
to be recognized for using innovative telemedicine technology
to improve patient care in their
communities.
Officials with the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) were
in Chatham Monday to present
Chandrasena with an inaugural Champion of Telemedicine
award.
With telemedicine, providers
use information and communication technology to deliver healthcare to patients or collaborate
with each other to improve care
delivery.
Chandrasena, the chief of medical staff and chief of psychiatry
at the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, pioneered a form a videoconferencing.
Saying it didn’t make sense to
move a bed-ridden patient with
dementia from Wallaceburg to
Chatham, Chandrasena sought to
establish a link between Chatham
and the Sydenham campus of the
Health Alliance. This was well
before the OTN was established
in 2006.
Over the years, Chandrasena
has used the system to reach
more patients in any location
while lowering costs.
“The cost savings are enormous,” he said. “The ability to
deliver service which they would
not get otherwise is priceless.”
Lori Feltz, OTN regional direc-
ened her father outside a local
grocery store.
In a statement of facts, an
assistant Crown attorney told
court the former girlfriend was
not injured in the earlier incident
and the defendant shouted at her
father last fall, stating, “I’m going
to f***ing kill you.”
Defence lawyer Gudrun Mueller-Wilm told court a probation

behaviour proved “he is doing
everything right.

Earlier, the 19-year-old defendant pleaded guilty to one charge

Court heard the Chatham

Dr. Ranjith Chandrasena received a Champion of Telemedicine award
Monday. The chief of medical staff and chief of psychiatry at the
Chatham-Kent Health Alliance was honoured for his efforts to adopt
videoconferencing as a way to advance patient care.
ing called for a suspended sentence with three days credit of
pre-disposition custody on the
uttering threat charge and a $100
fine on the assault charge.
The defendant told court he
“lashed out” when he learned his
baby was about to placed into a
specific vehicle.
“I want to apologize. The reason I threatened her father is
because he was going to put my
child in his car and he was driving without a licence (he lost)
driving while under the influence (of alcohol),” the defendant told court. The accused was
also sentenced to 12 months probation, not to possess any weapons, provide a DNA sample, have
restricted access to his child and
ordered to enroll in counselling
for anger management, substance
abuse and domestic violence.
When asked by the judge if
court would see him again, the
defendant quickly replied, “No,
your honour, I will not be back.”
Focus on facts
An assistant Crown attorney
and defence lawyer met in the
judge’s chambers Monday to discuss facts in an attempted murder
investigation in Wallaceburg one
year ago.
Taylor Ermatinger, 21, of Walpole Island was charged with
attempted murder following an
altercation at Sam’s Hotel on Dufferin Avenue on March 20, 2014.
Chatham-Kent police
responded to the location just

Wallaceburg with life-threatening
head injuries and was later transferred to a hospital in London.

C-K grows for the world
FROM PAGE A1
Bendo said Chatham-Kent lives
with a high rate of chronic disease
and are some of the lowest consumers of fruits and vegetables in
Ontario despite access to a wide
variety of locally grown produce
and meats.
“Chatham-Kent grows for the
world,” Bendo said. “And while
the economic benefits are important, I want to highlight the many
health benefits that come along
with eating healthy local foods.”
The Kent Federation of Agriculture’s free Buy Local Buy Fresh
map is the easiest way to connect to food to the plate for locals
across the municipality and has a
list for what is in season for easy
shopping.
“It’s bringing it (local food)
into the forefront,” said Kathy
Delanghe, KFA secretary. “People are recognizing the benefit of buying local from the point
of economic impact, health and
affordability.”
She’s quick to add Chatham
would benefit from a permanent
and consistent farmer’s market,
similar to the one that operates in
Ridgetown, where produce could
be made available to those who
are transportation challenged.
North Kent councillor Leon
Leclair said he’d love to see the
development of a permanent
market space but it needs to have
good leadership organizing it and
the support of the community to
make it viable.
“It’s the big picture, it’s liability, a good spot, consistency,”
said Leclair. “Years ago we used
to have the slogan ‘Farmers Feed
Cities’. I’d like to change it up a little bit, farmers need cities also.”
Local Food Week will include a
number of farmers sharing their
stories with local media and Delhaven Orchards being recognized
as the Chatham-Kent Chamber of
Commerce’s feature industry of
the month on Friday.

• In 2014, a new competitive procurement process was developed
by the IESO for future renewable projects larger than 0.5 MW.
This new process is called the Large Renewable Procurement (LRP).
The Large Renewable Procurement
(LRP I) Process
In July 2014, the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) released
a Request for Qualifications for proponents wishing to participate in an upcoming Request for Proposals (RFP) for up to 300 MW of wind energy. Kruger Energy qualified
to move forward into the RFP stage of LRP I.
The RFP is based on a set of criteria including:
• Price
• Ability to successfully develop wind projects
• Ability to fund project development
• Consideration of the natural environment (Site Considerations)
• Consultation with the project community, Aboriginal groups,
government agencies and other interested parties
(Community Engagement Plan and Community Meetings)
Kruger Energy will prepare an application for submission to the IESO by September 1, 2015.
The IESO will announce their decision by the end of 2015.
The Renewable Energy Approval
(REA) Process
If the Kruger Energy Chatham Optima Wind Project is selected in the LRP,
it will be subject to the Renewable Energy Approval (REA) process under
Ontario Regulation 359/09.
This process involves detailed studies of the following:
•Natural environment
including wetlands, woodlands and waterbodies
•Social environment
including noise and setbacks from property lines
•Cultural environment
including protected properties, heritage resources and archaeology
There will be extensive consultation with the local community,
agencies and Aboriginal groups.
