For Henvey Inlet Members, over 100 jobs could be created in various fields. With proper education and training, servicing and maintenance could be taken over in 5 years, construction jobs will be numerous and tower site preparation and installation could also be taken over in 5-7 years.
If the size of the project grows a cement factory will be needed and yard and crane garages and operators will be required. Food, catering, security and site preparation and maintenance jobs will be created.
As the project progresses we will begin posting guaranteed jobs well in advance of the opportunity.

How long do wind turbines last?
A wind turbine typically lasts around 20-25 years. During this time maintenance is required of course.
The period for reviewing the Environmental Assessment reports and Environmental Protection Land Laws for the wind project is coming to a close soon. There have been informational mail outs which included forms for input and there have been open public meetings.
Henvey Inlet Wind LP is asking the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for permission to construct approximately 103 kilometres of 230 kilovolt electricity overhead transmission line and associated facilities. The transmission line would connect the company’s Henvey Inlet Wind Energy Centre to the provincial power grid.
What are the impacts on health due to noise?
A heated debate about health problems associated from being too close to the turbines is occurring in the media; newspapers, online, YouTube, etc.
Honestly, there is so much information circulating about health issues that it is hard to know which side to believe.
The Government is armed with studies that claim that they are safe.
