Suite 200, 4723-1st Street SW Calgary, AB T2G 4Y8 RE: Colloquial Name of Project: Bow Lake Wind Farm Phase 1 and Phase 2 Location: District of Algoma OPA Reference Numbers: FIT-FVXCPUV, FIT-F7JOC51, FIT-FYPJVV MTCS DPR file no.: PLAN-57EA031 Dear Ms. Matheson: This letter constitutes the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport’s written comments as required by s. 23(3)(a) of O. Reg. 359/09 under the Environmental Protection Act regarding heritage assessments undertaken for the above projects. Based on the information contained in the revised report submitted for these projects, the Ministry is satisfied with the heritage assessment. Please note that the Ministry makes no representation or warranty as to the completeness, accuracy or quality of the heritage assessment report. * The revised Heritage and Tourism Impact Assessment for Bow Lake Wind Farm Phase 1 and Phase 2 (Feb. 22, 2012) recommends the following: 4.2 Mitigation Aboriginal Mitigation: 1. (With regard to Batchewana First Nation of the Ojibways). The author of this report will not make recommendations regarding the significance of or need for mitigation of potential effects on BFN cultural heritage. As participants in the project, the BFN have recommended that all Bow Lake Project development activities recognize and respect the spirituality of the Bow Lake Site, and the developers follow the spiritual lessons of the ancestors before commencing any of the work contemplated by this project. It is recommended that the proponent continue to engage with the BFN to identify and address any concerns they have with respect to potential impacts of the project on their cultural and spiritual heritage. 1 2. (With regard to the Métis Community). It is understood discussions are ongoing in respect of potential mitigation measures and it is recommended that the proponent continue to consult and work with the Métis to identify and address any concerns they have with respect to potential impacts of the project on their cultural heritage. Great Lakes Heritage Coast Mitigation: 1. The proponents have set back the wind turbines from the coast by approximately 8 km, with the closest turbine being around 5 km from the coastline. This distance coupled with the clustered (as opposed to linear) siting of the turbines will help to minimize the visibility of the wind turbines from the coast. No further mitigation is recommended. Lake Superior Provincial Park Mitigation: 1. The distance of the wind turbines from the coast (as described above) as well as the grouping of the turbines will help to reduce the visibility of the wind turbines from this area. No further mitigation is recommended. Highway 17 Scenic Drive Mitigation: 1. There is no mitigation recommended. 2. Consideration could be given to an interpretive initiative dealing with alternative energy, orchestrated by the proponent with such organizations as the Algoma Kinniabi Travel Association (and the Agawa Canyon Rail/CN). This could be an outdoor interpretive presentation using all weather panels located at pull-off areas which have a view of the turbines. Such an approach supports the Sault Ste. Marie –Think Green – The alternative energy capital of North America –marketing campaign. Potentially hydro electric power as well as the search for uranium could be incorporated into the story of the Wind Farms as a part of the Region’s clean energy heritage. Voyageur Trails Mitigation: 1. There is no mitigation recommended. Landscapes Associated with the Group of Seven Mitigation: 1. There is no mitigation recommended. 2. The eventual publication of the Waddington research and the McGuffin/Burtch20 research tracking actual sites of the Group of Seven will provide a tangible link between artists and the landscape, regardless of the development of the Bow Lake Wind Project or other industrial activities which have altered the landscape since the paintings were produced. 4.3 Conclusion Regarding the Heritage Resources Impact of Bow Lake Wind Farm The examination leads to the conclusion that the construction of the planned Wind Farm will have no negative impact on the heritage resources on the Project location as there are no significant heritage resources located on the site that could be affected in any event. The Batchewana First Nation of Ojibways know that spirits are present throughout their territory, including the project area, and it is their belief that the addition of the wind turbines will not impact (positively or negatively) these spirits. 2 Further, the project will have only limited impact on the resources located in the larger study area (Zone of Visual Impact) as there are very few heritage sites that will be directly affected in any way by towers. One of the better known sites is the site of the Aboriginal pictographs in Lake Superior Provincial Park, where, at a certain angle from the site, wind towers might be seen in the far distance on a clear day. Given the existing visual context (there are also a number of cottages on the island immediately opposite the pictographs which detract from the wilderness setting), and the distance between the pictographs and the wind turbines limiting their visibility, this does not constitute an impact that requires mitigation. The only other heritage sites identified in the Zone of Visual Impact that have been noted as being of potential interest are painting sites (i.e. sites where original scene of paintings are still recognizable) of the Group of Seven. However, to date, no Group of Seven painting sites have been identified that would be affected by the visibility of the wind turbines, with the exception of the J.E.H. MacDonald painting of the Falls on the Montreal River, however this site has already been significantly altered by industrial (hydroelectric) development since the painting was done. Wind turbines would just be the latest addition of change on the site. The Ministry is satisfied with these recommendations. The Section 4.2 Mitigation of report also includes a second recommendation related to Lake Superior Provincial Park. While the authors of the report acknowledge that this second recommendation is beyond the scope of the study and is not the responsibility of the proponent, they included it as a consideration for the Park’s administration. Therefore, it was not included in the above recommendations. This letter does not waive any requirements which you may have under the Ontario Heritage Act. Also, this letter does not constitute approval of the renewable energy project. Approvals of the project may be required under other statutes and regulations. It is your responsibility to obtain any necessary approvals or licences. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or require additional information.

  • Painted Land Book Submission
    Painted Land: In Search of the Group of Seven by Joanie and Gary McGuffin and Michael Burtch. Canada's northern landscape is rugged, solitary and daunting. It is alluring, moody and majestic. It has drawn Canada’s most well known artists, Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven to the drama of its unfolding seasons; to Algonquin, Algoma and the vast shores of Lake Superior. But where were they, exactly, when they created Canada’s most iconic paintings? Eight years ago, the three of us set out to find the places that inspired these famous artists. We’ve told our story in a film of the same title. And now we want to tell our story in a photographic book chronicling our site discovery research and adventures. We envision an art book featuring 100 paintings juxtaposed with our photographs taken from the exact painting sites revealing the landscapes as they appear today. Stories of the cultural history will be revealed through the artist’s own poetic writings in the form of excerpts from their letters and published works. Matching hundreds of paintings to landscapes has required many weeks of exploratory hiking and paddling. Matching the photographs to the paintings requires a particular attention to the details of the lighting and the seasons. The Group painted in the spring but more often they captured the rich colours of autumn. Layering historical research and our contemporary painting site discoveries is providing the world with a fascinating new insight into The Group of Seven. September 12, 1918 Agawa Canyon, Ontario Three young, largely unknown artists, J.E.H.
