Youth speak out for wind energy: CanWEA 2014 Power of Wind Contest winners announced

Every year, CanWEA awards several bursary prizes to students entering or in post-secondary education. This year, students were invited to submit multimedia and written entries on why they believe wind energy is important to Canada’s energy future.
