Whitby Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Program

<div style="background:#efefef; padding:14px 14px 6px 14px; margin: 0 0 16px 0;">As one of the fastest growing communities in Ontario, North Whitby needs more electricity to support future growth and connectivity.The Town has declared a parcel of land at 150 Winchester Road West - between Amanda Avenue and Winchester Road - in South Brooklin as surplus and is considering its conveyance to Elexicon Energy Inc. to build an electrical substation. This process is known as a land disposition.The proposed substation would support the construction of up to 5,000 new homes in the community.</div><h2>Share Your Feedback</h2>Community engagement is an important part of the Town&#39;s decision-making process. Thank you to those who provided comment on the potential land disposition - this feedback opportunity has now closed. <h2>Next Steps</h2>Community feedback collected will be reported back to Council later this year in order to make a decision on the potential land disposition.<h2>Additional Project Information</h2>Before the land disposition, Elexicon must also conduct a Site Feasibility Study to determine the suitability of the lands on Amanda Avenue for an electrical substation. This study is currently underway - visit <a href="https://elexiconenergy.com/potential-substation-in-brooklin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elexicon&#39;s project webpage</a> for more information.<img src="https://s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-canada/4d054950269b573b77f469a1956cd9ecf2ac834a/original/1723133554/495b6c1ec6e20f058c861c0bf724dfd9_Notice-of-Potential-Land-Lease_Map_1200x600px-FINAL.jpg?1723133554" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">Here&#39;s an image of an existing electrical substation.
