Transforming Toronto Featured on CTV News

Last night CTV aired a segment on Transforming Toronto and the opposition to the transmission line. The piece discussed the various health concerns around the lines, as well as the fact that cleaner, greener alternatives are readily available that would eliminate the need for the lines as well as the associated nuclear plants. Suzanne Gibson of Transforming Toronto noted that these solutions are in place in other countries around the world, and so could easily be implemented here.You can check out the video clip of the story on the CTV website under the CTV Toronto Special Reports section; the story is titled "Naomi Parness on the Battle Against New Hydro Lines".
