I had posted some time ago about the Riplinger windmill project that is slated for the Waterton area and trying to get it stopped. Angela Tabak who used to be one of the DS locals group has been working diligently to get citizens concerns heard and this project shut down. The damage not only to the local economy but the wildlife in this migration path would be devastating and they need to stop it now. If you feel compelled please give TransAlta a call and leave a message with your concerns.
A quick reminder...
If you haven't yet called TransAlta's Riplinger Hotline to register your opposition to this project, please take a minute to do so. They will be reporting the number of people who called to the AUC when they make application. We cannot have them report that only a small number of community members called and were opposed.
You will be asked to leave a message. Super quick and easy.

Want to tell school board trustee candidates how they can earn your vote?
At the Alberta Parents’ Union, we always want to hear from you and amplify your voice on school board elections.
We are thrilled to announce today that we are partnering with a huge megaphone - outside the enormous and growing number of Albertans who receive our emails - to amplify your voice in a way that has never been possible before.
We’re hosting a trustee election focus group event with Elise Stolte, an engagement journalist with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation!
Have you ever been upset that you're not seeing voices like yours quoted by the CBC?
As an “engagement journalist” Elise works to close that gap and represent more voices in the coverage of the (overwhelmingly) largest media outlet in Alberta and Canada.
Elise is a K-12 parent herself, and we want her to be able to hear from normal, non-activist parents of school kids to inform the CBC's coverage - even if you're not quoted.
Everything she hears will be off the record, unless and ...
