Newsletters
The Eco Awareness Society publishes a monthly newsletter that is mailed to 525 homes in our area. We also email the newsletter to our members as well as politicians, reporters and the heads of other groups engaged in opposing wind turbine projects, some of whom then disseminate it to their members via email. We started the newsletter to make available to our own community the evidence and other information that wind industry proponents and those within the provincial government will not provide. It is also our hope, that the newsletter will help our friends and neighbors see the value in this unique place, its history, and the community that exists here.
