The North Kent Wind Project is donating $100,000 to the Friends of the New Animal Shelter building fund. 
The donation coincides with the official opening of the project.
The controversial wind farm creates 100 megawatts of power and consists of 34 Siemens turbines and generates $250,000 in local property taxes each year.
The project is owned by Samsung and Pattern Energy Group as well as the Walpole Island First Nation. The municipality of Chatham-Kent also owns a 15 per cent equity interest through Entegrus.
