🌊 More than 293 hectares of aquatic habitat — the equivalent of 1,849 NHL hockey rinks — have been created from rehabilitated aggregate sites in Ontario. That's real community impact. These rehabilitated sites provide valuable habitats and support biodiversity in the local areas long after extraction is complete. ✅ Learn more about the industry's progressive rehabilitation practices: ossga.com/gravel_facts/rehab…

♻️ An excellent day on the road with OSSGA members and industry partners during our Rehabilitation Tour, showcasing how former aggregate sites can be transformed into valuable community, environmental and economic assets. A highlight of the tour was a stop at the Royal Botanical Gardens’ Rock Garden, where we rededicated the OSSGA Bronze Plaque Award. Once a gravel pit, the Rock Garden stands today as one of Ontario's most celebrated examples of aggregate rehabilitation. Thank you to our participating members, sponsors and the @RBGCanada!

🌊 Did you know that 92 per cent of the water used to wash and process aggregate is recycled through a closed-loop system? It’s one of the ways aggregate producers responsibly manage resources while supplying the materials our communities need. 🔗 Learn more: ossga.com/gravel_facts/rehab…
