#Caledon #Megaquarry is mega bad news: 🧑‍🌾800+ acres of prime agricultural land threatened 🧨wells at risk with #belowthewatertable blasting 🚛75 aggregate trucks every hour, 23hrs/day, 6 days/week #reformgravelmining #onpoli 🔗 tinyurl.com/5ey5ymjn

#Caledon has become ground zero in a fierce battle over dollars vs. community & environmental safety. But residents aren't backing down. Read why: tinyurl.com/The-Pointer-... #ReformGravelMining #protectourwater #peopleoverprofit

#Ontario says we need 2.5 BILLION tonnes of aggregate. The Auditor General says the province redid its supply study but the data is still unreliable. Expanding quarries on bad data isn’t planning. It’s gambling. #Ontpoli #ReformGravelMining tinyurl.com/adt7xh7n

Another blow to #environmentalprotection in Ontario. #Caledon residents outraged as the province imposes 60 changes that gut local aggregate policy, remove air & water safeguards, and declare it a “done deal” with no right of appeal. #ReformGravelMining #greenbelt tinyurl.com/Caledon-Ente...

A good neighbour doesn't arrive with a business plan thst gambles with the health and safety of a community. Corporate donations used to buy influence - drain aquifers, pollute the air; eroding the environment and public trust. #caledon #megaquarry #juststopit thepointer.com/article/2025...

The provincial government's move to shrink a protected area in Port Hope sets a “frightening precedent.” “This is the first one I’ve heard of, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it will be the last.” — Tony Morris, Ontario Nature. Full @thenarwhal.ca story here 👉 thenarwhal.ca/garden-hill-...

We'll need your voice over the next four years. Since 2018 the Ford government has put the economy first in its decision making. It sounds like the new Environment Minister will continue to put $$ ahead of #nature, #cleanwater, #cleanair, community #health. globalnews.ca/news/1113308...

#Halton Region approves World Health Organization limits for PM 2.5 and 10. #Airpollution from quarry dust is deadly. This issue is about public health,” she said. “There is no need for an expansion of this quarry, or any quarry in Ontario right now.” #onpoli www.haltonhillstoday.ca/local-news/h...

Doug Ford’s open-for-business policies push #Ontario's environment to the bottom.It’s why years after she started to battle the quarry in her backyard, she decided to join Reform Gravel Mining Coalition to change how quarries are developed in the province. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/04/n...

Share of eligible voters in 2022 Ontario election. This is ridiculous. Technically, "Did Not Vote" won the election. Across all of North America, the complacency and apathy of the voting populace threatens the fabric of society. Get off your lazy asses and vote.

Hundreds attend rally tell Ford to Listen to the People Now! Premier has not kept promise to stop the quarry. With over 6.2 billion tonnes of construction aggregate - a 38 to 50 year supply- its time to reform gravel mining #ontario #reformgravelmining #milton thepointer.com/article/2025...
