NOMA Raises Energy Concerns

Energy continues to be a major concern for the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association.

NOMA President Dave Canfield says a huge issue is the future of the Thunder Bay generating station.

Canfield says NOMA wants the province to commit to keeping the Mission Island Generating Station in Thunder Bay open and convert it to gas.

He adds the province and energy companies are finally starting to realize the large amount of power that will be needed when the mining sector booms.
