Update on Hydro One Meeting

Help Protect Puslinch (HPP) appreciated the invitation to meet with the Township and Hydro One on October 15 to discuss the proposed Waterloo–Wellington transmission line.

The meeting was worthwhile, helping clarify potential opportunities and adjustments for the Highway 401 corridor. We are encouraged that Hydro One appears to be taking a more detailed look at this option, although no final decision has been confirmed.

We also appreciate the Township’s continued strong support for exploring the 401 corridor.

View a complete summary of our meeting with Hydro One here.

HPP will continue advocating for the 401 corridor to be used to the greatest extent possible, minimizing impacts on Puslinch’s rural homes, farmland and community.

  • "We moved to Puslinch from Toronto and never looked back. We love living here because there is less traffic, pollution, and congestion. We enjoy the slower pace of life and being so close to nature. It's soothing for the soul"

“It is SNGREC’s opinion that constructing such a considerable development detached from existing wastewater infrastructure while so close to an existing system is irresponsible, and that more suitable locations exist.”
