Some of the material used to build modern Ontario was put in place thousands of years ago. 🧊
@_OSSGA explains that sand and gravel pits occur where glaciers left behind deposits of stone and sand. 🪨
We can choose where infrastructure is built, but we can't choose where geology placed the resources needed to build it. 📍
Did geology's role in aggregate location surprise you? 👇

Aggregate producers across Ontario are making a difference in their communities. Fowler Construction is a great example, supporting food banks in Muskoka and Parry Sound over Thanksgiving!

Take a guess: what percentage of Ontario's aggregate goes toward roads and highways? 🤔
@_OSSGA puts it at nearly 60%, including aggregate used in asphalt and concrete. 🛣️
That's a significant share of Ontario's stone, sand and gravel supporting the transportation network we use every day. 🪨
Would you have expected the number to be this high? 👇

Great conversations and valuable insights during Minister @Andrea_Khanjin's visit to our member Walker Industries' Niagara operation yesterday.
Thank you for taking the time to meet with the team and see firsthand how Ontario’s aggregate industry supports road building and infrastructure projects across the province. We appreciated the chance to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing our industry.
The latest edition of Avenues is out now! In this issue, we take a closer look at how aggregate underpins Ontario's economy, helping build the homes, infrastructure and communities that drive growth across the province.
