Wind Energy Development
Best Practices for Community Engagement and Public Consultation
CanWEA's Best Practices guide has been created for CanWEA members who have a direct role to play in planning and developing wind energy projects in Canada. While every member company is responsible for establishing its own unique policies, practices and procedures, these guidelines outline a wide range of practices to help ensure wind energy development is approved and is a welcomed addition to the community.
Effective and meaningful community engagement is fundamental to the success of a wind energy project, and introducing the Best Practices Guidelines in Community Engagement and Public Consultation is an important step in our continued effort to improve and strengthen our practices as the wind energy industry grows across Canada.

An Introduction to Wind Energy Development in Canada
An Introduction to Wind Energy Development in Canada is intended as a key tool in providing information to the public and wind energy developers not yet familiar with the Canadian wind development context. It effectively acts as an aid to municipal planners and government officials in broadly understanding wind energy development in Canada.
The guidebook was a joint project involving CanWEA, Tetra Tech and Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP. It adds to the growing library of guidance documents and best practices for advocates of sustainable wind energy development in Canada.
An Introduction to Wind Energy Development in Canada
As part of our commitment to communities and its members, CanWEA is hosting an IAP2 Certificate Program(http://www.IAP2.org) to help build skills and capacity within the wind energy, and more broadly, within the renewable energy sector. We believe that capacity for our members, partners, stakeholders and contractors to engage with us and with their stakeholders is also very important. That is why we are extending this invitation for you to join us during this training on 31 January and again on 6 April, 2011.
