We host local community meetings so that you have a chance to share your thoughts and ask questions about things your local utility has asked the Ontario Energy Board to approve, such as an increase in the rates they charge for the delivery of electricity or natural gas.
You can learn why your utility is asking for changes and how it justifies them. This is your opportunity to ask hard questions about your utility’s costs. You can give us your input directly, which we will take into consideration as part of our decision-making process.
While all customers of EPCOR Natural Gas Limited are welcome, General Service Rate 4 class of customers and Rate 5 Interruptible Contract customers are encouraged to attend.
Note: doors open at 6pm.

You can:
If you come to a community meeting, you will be able to provide us your comments verbally or in writing. You can also give a presentation. We keep notes about all verbal questions and comments at the meeting. We also file a report so the decision-makers at the Ontario Energy Board are aware of all the concerns that utility customers raise about an application – the very people who may be affected by the changes their utility is requesting.

We hold community meetings in your area when your utility files a major application for a rate increase. Before we make a final decision about their application, we ask members of the community to tell us what they think.
We also let you know we’re coming to your area by publishing information in local newspapers, and through special announcements on this website and utility websites.
