Chebucto Windfield Inc. Chebucto Wind Field Inc. is a community economic development corporation operating in Halifax Regional Municipality, established to make investments in renewable energy and, in particular, wind power development in Nova Scotia. The business rationale and core guiding principles of the company are as follows:
That there is tremendous potential for wind power development in the province of Nova Scotia, given our
superior wind regime. That there are strong prospects for financial growth in the wind industry as the costs of harnessing the wind resource continue to decrease, making it increasingly competitive in relation to traditional electrical generation. That the economic benefits of developing the wind energy resources in Nova Scotia should remain in the local communities, through community ownership of the wind energy infrastructure. That Nova Scotians have a responsibility to improve the energy production mix in the province by reducing the quantity of carbon dioxide and other pollutants released into the environment by electricity generation. That Nova Scotian businesses and consumers should have the right to choose to purchase energy produced from renewable sources and that many will choose to do so within a competitive pricing framework The company itself does not directly own and operate wind turbines; rather it invests in companies that do, either in the form of share ownership or as direct equity investment in projects. Chebucto Windfield raises investment capital within the framework of the Community Economic Development Investment Fund (CEDIF) program that is promoted and regulated by The Nova Scotia Securities Commission. This program encourages Nova Scotians to invest in business enterprises within the province by providing significant provincial tax credits to investors in CEDIF companies. Investors in Chebucto Windfield may also choose to gain further tax benefits by holding their investment in an RRSP. In 2006 Chebucto Windfield purchased 30,000 treasury shares of Renewable Energy Services Ltd, a company which has several turbines in operation in the province under contract to Nova Scotia Power, as well as developing wind projects in western Canada. In 2007, following shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting, Chebucto Windfield purchased 375,000 shares in Scotian Windfields Inc (SWFI), a new company involved in wind power project development which will act as the principal operator for the 8 companies around the province that comprise the Scotian Windfields family. The Chebucto Wind Field team is a well rounded group of professionals with a tremendous depth of experience in business, engineering, science, risk management, investment, finance, environmental management, administration and the public sector. For more information about investing: Covey Island Boatworks Investment Fund Inc. Covey Island Boatworks Investment Fund Inc. (CIBIF) has been created to stimulate business and economic activity on Lunenburg’s waterfront and to provide an investment vehicle to allow the community’s participation in this renewed “Working Waterfront”.Operating under the guidelines of Nova Scotia’s “Community Economic Development Investment Fund” (CEDIF), significant tax credits have been made available to further benefit investors. CIBIF’s investment philosophy and guiding principles are as follows: Lunenburg’s waterfront represents tremendous economic potential for new and expanded marine related business. Lunenburg should be a destination for the boating community both locally and internationally. A marina and other related services are presently absent on Lunenburg’s waterfront but they represent strong prospects to grow the economic activity of the waterfront. Lunenburg’s economy, identity, culture, and its appeal as a place to live and work is related to the town’s status as a working waterfront community. The waterfront is the core economic engine of Lunenburg, not only in direct marine-related jobs, but also as a major generator of visits in the town’s successful tourism sector. The overwhelming conviction is developing that a reactivated working waterfront is possible, practical and is the best use for this unique resource. The community should play a part and reap the rewards of investing in a rejuvenated working waterfront. For more information about investing:
