Ontario Nature is hosting workshops to provide you with an opportunity to provide input on aggregate operations in your community. We will be presenting the findings from these workshops to leading aggregate companies and the provincial government. The findings will also help craft a green industry standard by Ontario's environmental NGO community and aggregate producers, collectively known as The Aggregate Forum.
Given the provincial government’s plan to review the Aggregate Resources Act, and the upcoming reviews of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and the Greenbelt Plan in 2015, it's vital that communities speak up about the siting and rehabilitation of aggregate operations.
Lunch is provided.
Ontario Nature will host a second round of workshops in March. |
