🪨 Thank you to everyone who came out to our Grey-Bruce-Simcoe Regional Committee meeting today at Bear Creek Golf Club! It was a great opportunity for OSSGA staff to connect with members in the area and hear about local concerns. Next stop is Sudbury!

🌊 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…

🍂 Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! Today, we’re grateful for our members, partners and communities who help build and maintain the infrastructure Ontarians rely on every day. Wishing everyone a safe, happy and restful holiday with family and friends.

Last week we hosted our 2026 Operations and Rehabilitation Tours, here's a recap of the amazing two days! Thank you to everyone who participated, from the food and venues to the sponsors and attendees. Can't wait to do it again next year!

🪨 And today we hosted the 2026 OSSGA Operations Tour! This morning OSSGA members headed out to visit multiple sites in the Lake Simcoe area for our annual Operations Tour. This was a great opportunity to learn from cutting edge aggregate operations and connect with industry colleagues. Thank you to everyone who came out, the members who opened their doors to us and our sponsors!

♻️ 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…

Yesterday the OSSGA team was at Fowler Construction's head office in Bracebridge to formalize our partnership with Ontario Corps. The agreement creates a framework for OSSGA members to support emergency response and recovery efforts in communities across Ontario, symbolizing our industry's commitment to the local communities we operate in. Thank you to Minister @JillDunlop1, Associate Minister @Graydonthempp and the staff at the Ministry of Emergency Preparedness and Response and Ontario Corps!

As Canada navigates ongoing trade uncertainty, investing in homegrown infrastructure is essential to supporting jobs, economic growth and long-term competitiveness. Building Ontario means building a stronger, more resilient economy using local materials.

Great to join Walker Industries and the team yesterday as they donated rehabilitated land to @GreySauble! This was a fantastic example of responsible land stewardship in the aggregate industry.
