Plant Tour

Below you will find pictures of our tour of the Enwave Toronto Heating Plant that took place on Tuesday, February 27th, 07.  It was an amazing tour that took us through the Pearl and Walton Street plants.  Our thanks goes out to Enwave and Ed Bartlett the Chief Engineer of the Plant for taking the time to show us their pride and joy.
