‘Greed and waste’: Campaign seeks stronger regulations on land gobbling gravel industry

The scale of the aggregate industry does not align with the sheer lack of regulations in place to contain expansion of these operations. 

The industry is already approved to remove 13 times more stone, sand and gravel from the heart of Ontario every year than we actually use in the province. Yet, proposals to expand into more farmland, more natural spaces and more sensitive ecosystems continue to flood in. 

A new campaign is pushing to hit the pause button.
