We are excited to host the Kawartha Manufacturers Association at Launch Kawartha for their Quarterly Meeting, followed by a tour of Mariposa Dairy.

Join us for networking over a continental breakfast, a tour of Mariposa Dairy’s manufacturing facility, and a peer discussion forum focusing on novel opportunities to develop a manufacturing skills base.

The event is complimentary for all KMA members. We also welcome non-members who would be interested in these topics. We do ask that everyone please register as soon as possible.
