These public meetings will include a concise presentation by Chebucto Windfield's president Dr. Wayne Stobo, featuring current information on the state of Nova Scotia's renewable energy industry, and details about becoming a shareholder with Chebucto Windfield.

This will be followed by a question and answer period, and a meet and greet with several members of Chebucto's board of directors. Learn more about several ways you can choose to invest, like holding your shares in an RRSP, or transferring an existing RRSP over to Chebucto to receive an immediate 30% provincial tax credit.

2009 Public Meeting Schedule

Wednesday, January 21st, 7:00pm, Room 101 at the Halifax World Trade and Convention Centre

Thursday, February 5th, 7:00pm, Tantallon Public Library

Wednesday, February 11th, 7:00pm, The Ecology Action Centre - 2705 Fern Lane (Corner of May and Fern, between Robie and Agricola, just North of Robie St. Colonial Honda)
 

Chebucto WindField is pleased to announce a final extension of the current share offering until April 30th 2008, to provide an opportunity to people who were not able to invest prior to the RRSP deadline.   So far the offering has been a resounding success with over $200,000 dollars worth of shares already sold, surpassing our 2007 offering by around 70%.  We have welcomed several new investors into the community as well as receiving further support from our existing shareholders. There is a growing movement afoot to ensure that regular Nova Scotians will benefit from the numerous renewable energy projects that are being regularly announced in the local media.  Please encourage your friends and neighbors to get involved in this historic initiative.  Remember, you can still use it as an RRSP investment and claim the non-refundable provincial tax credit, but you would have to claim these on your 2008 tax submission.

There are exciting things happening in Nova Scotia's wind industry and if you already are a Chebucto Wind Field (CWF) shareholder, you have ownership. 

CWF already owns shares in both Renewable Energy Services Ltd.(RESL) and Scotian Wind Field Inc.(SWFI).  These shares were purchased with funds raised in our previous 2005/6 and 2006/7 offerings.

Chebucto WindField has extended its current share offering until February 29th.  The main reason for this extension is to take advantage of the typical RRSP investment season, which runs until the end of February.  For more information, please contact one of the Chebucto agents, or Chebucto's Managing Director, Shelley Wilcox at swilcox@chebuctowindfield.ca .

Dartmouth, NS - November 14th, 2007 - The Chebucto WindField has obtained a non-objection letter from the N.S Securities Commission to raise up to $3 Million to dedicate towards the development of renewable energy in Nova Scotia in this their third share offering.  Chebucto WindField is one of the community development corporations collectively referred to as the Scotian WindFields and is issuing shares under the Nova Scotia's Community Economic Development Investment Fund (CEDIF) initiative of the NS Department of Economic Development. The Scotian WindFields are a network of eight community corporations throughout Nova Scotia working towards the shared vision of generating renewable energy for sale in the province.

The Chebucto Windfield group was given another green light Thursday to try to raise $3
million for renewable energy projects.

One possible project for the community development corporation could include a couple
of small wind turbines, preferably within Halifax Regional Municipality, said vice-president
Dan Roscoe.

"We're providing an opportunity for everyday Nova Scotians within HRM to pool their
investment with others in the community to invest in renewable energy," said Mr.
Roscoe.
