Presented by: Alex Stuart, President, Global Wind Group Inc.

Welcome honored guest and fellow citizens, my name is Alex Stuart and I am the President of Global Wind Group Inc. Today is significant for the R.M. Of Morris, Manitoba and Canada as a whole. This wind turbine installation represents a great step towards realizing the benefits of the new green-economy. Global Wind Group Inc, a Manitoba company, installed Canadian-made turbines with local trades people and the financial support of the Rural Municipality of Morris and a $25,000 grant from Manitoba Conservation’s Sustainable Development Innovations Fund.

Building mounted wind turbines represent a new way for us to see wind energy, silent, un-obtrusive, easily roof-mounted and very cost-effective. Vertical-axis wind turbines are a remarkable improvement over traditional propeller style turbines because they are bird-safe, require very little maintenance, and most importantly run quietly. When you consider the number of suitable structures in Manitoba and across the country you’ll realize we are poised to capitalize on our un-used roof-top real-estate.
