I am from Ontario but have been in Sooke for five years and love it here.

I lived in part of the province that had a lot of wind turbines and wanted to pass you a report that suggests close proximity to the units may give people health problems, the low frequency noise and vibration can act like the problems found in sick building syndrome.

The MOE of health from the Grey-Bruce  area looks at the problem and suggests a minimum buffer zone of two kilometres to help prevent problems. If you Google Grey-Bruce, [where] doctors say links exists between wind turbines and health problems, you will have some more data on this subject that is written in an objective manner.
