Ontario green energy project may kill endangered species
Natural Resources Minister Linda Jeffrey looking for “balance”
By Mike Crawley, CBC News May 13, 20
A Toronto-based wind power company is proposing to build a green energy project on the shores of Lake Ontario, but it could threaten two endangered species.
Gilead Resources would have the legal right to kill the two species — if the province approves the proposal.
The company is applying for a permit that would allow it to “kill, harm and harass” the Blanding’s turtle and the whippoorwill.
