The Frasier team has been working hard to address all substantive concerns that we hear about solar, our project, and its impacts to the community. We have noticed an uptick in misinformation on Facebook and at community meetings, which makes a constructive, fact-based dialogue challenging.

Our team has pulled together well-vetted research on several common areas of concern to help set the record straight. We’ve summarized this research in a series of fact sheets linked below and will be adding more as we encounter other areas of concern. We believe that all substantive concerns about solar and the Frasier project are addressed by commitments in the Application to the OPSB and within the extensive body of well-vetted research on these concerns.
