Mapleton Mayor Bruce Whale will be the special guest speaker for the Seniors’ Centre for Excellence monthly dining program on Dec. 6.
The event will be held at 12pm at the Drayton Reformed Church (74 Wellington Street South).
The public is invited enjoy a hot meal and hear Whale talk about what could be the farm operation of the future.
Whale’s talk will focus on harvesting another by-product of livestock farming called bio-gas.
“We can take this greenhouse gas by-product and turn it into fuel or electricity, but do we have the political will and ingenuity to make it happen?” states a press release from the Seniors’ Centre for Excellence.
“Mapleton is an innovative community that’s on the cutting edge of this new farming technology, so join us to hear about this new system, its barriers and benefits.”
The centre requires 48 hours notice to order catering, so anyone who would like to attend should call 519-638-1000 by Dec. 3 to register.
