Peaceful protest at Pugwash open house



Over 50 local residents march along Church Street, Pugwash to protest the wind farm. Locals have been opposing this project for several years.

About 50 people from Pugwash and the Gulf Shore quietly marched into the Atlantic Wind Power Corporation open house at St Thomas More church hall, Pugwash with placards. Once everyone was inside the hall, a spokesperson for the group asked pointed questions and made demands that the project be abandoned.

The group stayed for about and hour to talk to the developers, representatives from CBCL who are performing the environmental assessment, property owners and to view the display boards.

The open house continues today from 3pm to 8pm. Questionnaires are on hand to be filled in on site or can be sent in later on.
