Letter: Join the petition to stop solar panel farm

As a concerned citizen, I am worried about the issue of the (Max Light solar panel project in Val Therese) being passed without consultation from the public, as was indicated will occur at the July 6 council meeting.

As a concerned citizen, I am worried about the issue of the (Max Light solar panel project in Val Therese) being passed without consultation from the public, as was indicated will occur at the July 6 council meeting.

There is a Facebook group and a petition at change.org that indicates what wildlife and agriculture will be impacted should this land be clear-cut and a solar panel farm be installed.

There are no economic benefits to our city that can justify the harm we do to the environment.

We have fought many years reversing the moon rock image of this great city, created at a time when we traded profit for soil, trees and animals. Now we must heed those lessons learnt and maintain our beautiful ecosystem.

Please think about the community when you render your decision
