| On this page, we have included some links to various pages that we feel
are valuable sources of information for anyone looking to have a renewable
energy system in their home. These pages have been very helpful to us in
setting up our system and we hope that you find them useful and
informative as well.

Whole Village Farm
On November 4th 2006, we had our first one day workshop here. We
were very happy with how it turned out. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, and
a ton of really great information was exchanged!
Jean-Marc, William, Mark and Kris are involved in a really
interesting and unique community just north of Toronto called Whole Village
Farm. It's a co-operative, ecologically and environmentally friendly farm where
everyone works together for the benefit of the whole community. They grow their
own food and sell what they can't use to neighboring communities. All of the
people who attended the workshop either live at the farm or helped to build
their new co-operative housing unit at the farm. For more information on this
project, check it out at
