offered by the This summer Hydro ded a corridor bet ween Bruce and Kitchener in order release some of power a move which the ICG had recommended years be ft re as an alternative to the Bruce to Milton proposal The Kitchener was to have been serviced by curding to Hydros original piins intervention by then energy minister The ICG presently even more of Ihc up power in Bruce can be released Into Ontario grid system if Hydro upgrades an existing line between Bruce and Essa near Bame The Bruce to Kitchener and Bruce to Fssa lines make much more sense and would save tax pay a great deal more
