I am very pleased to announce that Horizon Holdings Inc., the parent company of
Horizon Utilities Corporation and Horizon Energy Solutions Inc., has just
published its second Sustainability-Based Annual Report. This year, Horizon
expanded its Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) reporting scope to include
external assurance. Horizon Utilities is now not only the first electric
utility company in Ontario to report under the GRI framework, but also the
first to receive external assurance for its 2009 GRI filing.

Committed to the Sustainable Development of the Communities we Serve
At Horizon, we are committed to building energy companies that will contribute
to the sustainability of communities, and the creation of a culture of energy
conservation in Ontario. We believe that embedding sustainable practices into
our normal business routines will not only benefit our customers, the
communities we serve, and the environment, but will also improve our economic
performance and long-term prospects for success.

We are the first Electric Utility in Ontario to Receive External Assurance of
our GRI Filing

In 2009, Horizon expanded its GRI reporting scope to include independent
assurance performed by Ernst & Young. Ernst & Young performed a limited
assurance engagement of 10 GRI indicators reported by Horizon in its 2009 GRI
filing. Following the GRI criteria and its report application levels, Horizon
has the external assurance in hand to make the 2009 GRI report filing at the
"B+" application level.

Our Sustainability Report, GRI Filing and Assurance Report can be found online
at [1]www.horizonutilities.com/sustainability.

By benchmarking ourselves against an international standard for sustainability,
our aim is to continuously improve our business practices and bring added value
to all of Horizon's stakeholders. Growing our business sustainably, improving
performance, and responding successfully to the new business opportunities
presented by Ontario's Green Energy and Economy Act are the goals we have set
to be a leader in the energy sector.

We hope you enjoy reading our new report and would welcome your feedback at:

the same email address.

Regards,
Max Cananzi,
President & CEO
