DIRECTIONS TO KAWARTHA ETHANOL Car Tour From Brighton to the plant....Take Highway 30 north to Campbellford. Continue north through the lights on County Road 50 at
Campbellford. Follow County Road 50 to the end (ends at Highway #7).
Turn left and follow Highway #7 about one km. The entrance to the plant is on the right hand side. There is a set of rail way tracks just past the entrance- if you go past the tracks, you have missed the entrance.
Follow the road and stop at the guard house (about a ¼ km up the road). Let the guard know your name and that you are with the tour, and they will give you further directions.
Bring safety boots, a hard hat and safety glasses (hard hat and safety glasses will be provided if required).
No pictures please.
Special Thanks to John Pulver for hosting the Northumberland Spring Meeting April 5. An excellent program with Helmut Spieser, OMAFRA on sprayer nozzles and calibration. Local Dealers on sprayers and supplies.
