THUNDER BAY — Finding an unexpected cheque for $5,000 in the mail would likely bring a smile to most people's faces. It's because it was only when he unsealed the envelope that he learned it was from Hydro One, which wants to erect a high-voltage transmission line through his property.
On Monday, a representative of Hydro's real estate section phoned Meade to say he had heard about the incident, and that the cheque had been sent in error. The line would parallel an existing power line through the Kaministiquia area, but the group says it would significantly disrupt the use of numerous properties and in some cases force people to abandon their houses. "Everybody is saying they don't want to cash them. People are really upset."
"We don't want to try to bully our way in. We want to work with Hydro to offer opportunities for them to do this in a different way that won't affect people so personally," he said. "In these meetings, property owners are provided with any applicable immediate payments, which means we prepare cheques in advance," Wylie said. "We are sorry for the confusion this has caused and remain committed to meeting with each impacted property owner to learn more about their property and to look at ways we may be able to mitigate or minimize the impacts of the proposed project.
