We are a volunteer-led movement supported by residents of South-West Oxford and Malahide. Our goal is to stop the proposed 220 MW Cedar Flats Wind Project before it changes our landscape forever. Learn why this project threatens everything we value — and how you can help stop it.
The proposed Cedar Flats Wind Project is a 220 MW industrial wind development planned for South-West Oxford and Malahide in Elgin County, Ontario. If approved, it could involve up to 60+ turbines and disrupt thousands of acres of Class 1 and 2 farmland—some of the most productive in Canada. This land is vital for local food systems, biodiversity, and Ontario’s agricultural economy.
From water tables to migratory birds, from rural noise levels to shadow flicker — the Cedar Flats Wind Project poses serious risks. Explore the environmental, agricultural, economic, and health consequences of this development.

Using documents from the project developer, we refute key claims about health, noise, land use, and environmental impacts. We hold the wind industry to account using research and real-world evidence.
We reviewed the WPD Public FAQs — and found more assumptions than answers.
WPD Public FAQs (March 2025)
CompletedWe reviewed WPD Canada’s public FAQ document line-by-line and exposed unsupported claims, misleading assurances, and missing scientific standards.

Class 1 and 2 soil permanently altered by turbine bases and access roads.
Threatens migratory birds like Purple Martins, Bobolinks, bats, and more.
Foundations and trenching can disrupt local aquifers and wells.
Noise, shadow flicker, and industrialization of peaceful communities.
✅ Concrete Volume per Turbine Base: ~400–500 m³
✅ Typical Rebar Requirement: 90–120 kg per m³
