Social Sustainability and Agritourism
Kawartha Downs and Speedway
Harness racing has long been a way to provide entertainment, supplemental income and employment opportunities for citizens of rural communities. This is why The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture continues to support horse racing in general, and why the government of Ontario has allowed the expansion of onsite gaming through the introduction of slots at standardbred racetracks. The relationship between the two activities effectively helps support the sport and the rural community which hosts it.
CSTN’s emphasis on agricultural sustainability is further enhanced by the inclusion of Kawartha Downs and Speedway as part of its unique group of member companies. This entertainment destination in Fraserville, Ontario, just south of the city of Peterborough, not only features over 375 slots and a harness racing track, but also houses a premiere 3/8 mile track for stock car racing, providing further employment and entertainment for the mostly rural area.
