Our ideas combined hydro, wind, and solar power in a green energy system to power a new neighbourhood on Dundas Hill.

At peak production times, excess energy will power a light installation which generates a rainbow in a giant mist jet on the hill top. This will be visible across the city as an intermittent beacon.
