Lafarge Bath has a proposal to replace coal in its cement plant with low carbon fuels like weathered treated wood (such as railway ties and utility poles), construction and demolition materials, and asphalt shingles.

Railway ties pollute less than virgin wood when burned. The creosote embedded in them through years of use burn at a higher temperature, creating less emissions.
On July 1st, the Bath plant participated in the annual Canada Day celebrations in Bath, Ontario. This year, our contingent in the Parade included a large group of plant employees and their fami-lies. Lafarge's Aggregates and Concrete division joined in as well, bringing a ready-mix truck to join in the Parade. Festivities concluded later that evening with a fireworks display, sponsored by Lafarge.
The Bath area was first settled in 1784 as a home for United Empire Loyalists. The Village was incorporated in 1859. This year marked the 51st Annual Canada Day Parade.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this event.
