WISE Project participants have been actively installing solar projects on their own roofs for years. But during those years many residents whose own roofs were not suitable or who did not own their own home asked us about the possibility of forming a co-op to collectively own a solar system. Well, now there is an exciting new opportunity to invest in co-operatively owned solar systems through the Options for Green Energy Queen Street Solar Co-operative.

Happy new year, everyone! A small group of us have been very busy with Clean Train Coalition work over the holiday season so this is why there’s been such a delay since our last email. (If you have time to help us with that… we would be most grateful!)

In the meantime, it’s short notice, but our NEXT GENERAL MEETING is this Thursday, Jan 6 from 6:30-9:00 p.m. at Davenport-Perth Neighbourhood Centre, 1900 Davenport just west of Symington.

Topics in this email:
1. Petitions delivered to the Legislature

Thanks to everyone who came out for the Clean Train demonstration at Metrolinx HQ on November 16. It was a fantastic turnout, especially for a weekday morning! Over 60 people took part in a spirited demonstration on the sidewalk in front of the Metrolinx head offices on Bay at Queens Quay. Following the outdoor demonstration, the crowd moved upstairs to the Metrolinx offices and packed the Metrolinx board meeting with CTC supporters.
