The Provincial Government finally gets it. That's the message from the City after they met with nine Cabinet Ministers this week in Ottawa. Councillor Joe Virdiramo says they spoke with Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli about the future of our coal fired generating station. Virdiramo says the Minister reminded them that all coal plants will be closed after 2014, but hinted at alternative fuel sources for some of those plants. Virdiramo says they also took away from a variety of ministers that there may be Provincial dollars for the proposed event centre.
