Opinion

In his Jan. 21 Letter to the Editor extolling the merits of the proposed BESS facility on his Marchurst Road land, Wayne Carroll states, “what really got my attention was the $5 million Community Development Fund Evolugen is proposing.” 

Evolugen is doing an admirable job of promoting BESS. Kudos to them for their efforts.

Do we not already have a river property – Pinhey’s Point? I would think that it is bird friendly.

On behalf of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation, we are proud to express support for Evolugen’s 250-megawatt battery project located in West Carleton.

OPINION – All eyes are on Washington, DC, this week as a new president is sworn in, and a new government takes power.

The new location appears to answer community concerns about proximity to the village of Fitzroy Harbour, and I extend my appreciation to our Coun. Clarke Kelly for his role in negotiating this new location.

As you may know, my family has lived in West Carleton for generations. We grew up here, farmed the land, started businesses, built homes and raised our families.
