According to an October 22, 2013 article in the Toronto Star, a subsidiary of Oakville Hydro (all of which are entirely owned by the Town of Oakville) is considering buying Swift River Energy Limited. That is, not only would the fine people of Oakville then be paying perhaps $25,000,000 to be and own the proponent for the proposed hydro-electric generating station in Bala, but they would also be assuming liability for any fatalities or other problems resulting from this project.
So that Oakville has the opportunity to fully understand the situation, on November 3, 2013 we sent this letter to the Mayor of Oakville.
Within hours, we received a reply from Mayor Burton’s office that “the town is not involved in the project”. As this contradicts the information in the Toronto Star article, we asked for clarification, but have not received a reply.
