Province's New Ad Campaign

An Edmonton Journal ad (page A13, November 18, 2009) taken out by the province states the following:

"No decisions have been made as to where new transmission infrastructure will be located, and none will be, until Albertans have been consulted.

"In the coming year, the Alberta Utilities Commission will hold public hearings for Albertans to provide their input on issues concerning public safety, land use and environmental impacts. Albertans will continue to have a say on where transmission lines are located. Landowners' issues will be heard, taken into account and affected landowners will receive fair compensation."

The ad subsequently directs people to the alberta.ca website.
