ST. LEON WIND FARM DRIVE AND LUNCH AT SYL’S DRIVE INN, CARMAN

This event is a group drive to the St Leon Wind Farm with a stop at the windmills and an explanation of their operation by member Ken Klassen. Following the stop we will head to Syl’s Drive Inn in Carman for lunch. Join us for an adventure that gets you out in your car, driving in the southwest countryside, experiencing the thrill of driving and then gathering for lunch and camaraderie with fellow members!

St Leon Wind Farm is Manitoba’s first wind farm, in St. Leon, Manitoba, Canada. In the first phase completed in 2006, 63 wind turbines were erected over a 93-square-kilometre (36 sq mi) area, capable of delivering 99 megawatts.

Wind Turbines

Each turbine has three blades made with carbon fiber and balsa wood. Each blade is 41 metres (135 ft) long. The nacelle containing the gearbox and generator is mounted on a tubular steel 80-metre (262 ft) tower. The assembly of blades, hub, gearbox, and generator, in total weighs around 220 tonnes. The blades turn at 14 revolutions per minute.

Syl’s Drive Inn has been a staple in Carman since 1960 and are well known for great
burgers and thick milkshakes!!
