The co-chair of the Common Voice Energy Task Force is urging Ontario’s new Energy Ministry to look at all options for northwestern Ontario.
Iain Angus met with Bob Chiarelli and the Ontario Power Authority in Toronto this afternoon.
Angus says the first priority is keeping the Thunder Bay generating station running.
