Mayor Brian Jackson is pleased to announce that the Town of Innisfil Gateway sign at Highway 400 and Innisfil Beach Road is complete and lit solely by solar power thanks to the contribution of Innisfil Hydro. The three state-of-the-art 35 Watt LED lights are powered by six photo voltaic panels from a bank of batteries installed by a local firm, Solar Wind Electric. Hydro President George Shaparew said that he was pleased to be part of this project as it saves over 3,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions every year and shows ambassadorship regarding the new Green Energy Act.
Mayor Jackson mentioned that the concrete sign is well positioned at Innisfil’s industrial growth area of Innisfil Heights. The sign was built from community donations mentioned Jackson, and the main contributor was RES Precast Inc., a local architectural precast concrete company situated off of Highway 400. Other contributors included Spring Tree Farm, LaFarge, Town of Innisfil, Communities in Bloom, C.C. Tatham, Dave Dobinson Excavating, and Ron Pugh of Southpointe Homes. The floral garden in front of the sign is maintained by the Town of Innisfil Community Services staff.
Town CAO Larry Allison said that Town staff worked diligently in getting approvals from the Ministry of Transportation and said that the outcome was worth the hard work and perseverance. “As CAO and also Hydro Chairman, I would like to thank and congratulate all that were instrumental in building this monument for the Town of Innisfil”.
