Petition updateSay No to LCP Brechin Quarry Application & Quarry Monopoly in Ramara TownshipHow Caledon Reformed Gravel Mining & Your Municipality Can Too
Mike DouglasRamara Township, Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada
21 Nov 2024

Please consider checking out this important Reform Gravel Mining Coalition webinar focusing on, "how Caledon achieved landmark gravel mining reforms that protect residents’ health and environment—setting a new standard that other municipalities can follow."

Caledon’s newly adopted policies prioritize clean air and safe water, exceeding provincial standards by implementing the World Health Organization’s (WHO) stricter air quality guidelines for harmful particulate matter (PM 2.5). This accomplishment, spearheaded by the Forks of the Credit Preservation Group (FCPG) in collaboration with Caledon’s Council, demonstrates the power of local democracy against the backdrop of provincial inaction.

Speakers include David Sylvester, President of FCPG, who will share insights on the local advocacy that made Caledon's reforms possible, and James Seeley, Chair of TAPMO (Top Aggregate Producing Municipalities of Ontario) and Mayor of Puslinch, who will discuss how other municipalities can follow Caledon's inspiring example.
November 21, 2024 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm
