How to lodge a complaint in Ontario

Start by drafting a letter or email, clearly outlining the issues you are having and once completed, have the following phrase: “Please register this as a formal complaint” at the top of the letter.

Simply state your experience as it is and you do not need to use anyone else’s observations to support yours, besides those who reside in your home. It must be your own personal experience. If you have multiple people in your household with complaints, detail them for each person. The complaint should be sent to:

1. The Wind Energy Company

2. Your MPP,

3. Your Township Office and

4. Your regional Ministry of the Environment office

If you are having health problems related to the turbines, you should report it to the Public Health Unit in your community. Send copies of your correspondence to all involved. Also add that you would like a reply from each of them that they have received your letter.

Keep a copy of all of your correspondence and if you should have any face to face meetings or phone calls, make sure you write down the pertinent points in your journal so you don’t forget what was said. Consider audio recording of all conversations.

If you are having severe problems that need immediate attention call the Environmental Spills Reporting phone number 1-800-268-6060.

Although the title does not sound appropriate, it is correct to use it and the call will go into the Ministry of the Environment reporting office to be dealt with.
