Why Aggregates Matter To Our Communities

Today, our focus is on Ontario, and specifically on the construction materials that form the foundation of our communities.

Stone, sand, and gravel are essential to virtually every major construction project — from roads and housing to transit and municipal infrastructure. Ensuring a reliable, close-to-market supply of these materials is critical to keeping projects moving and costs under control.

And that makes this a very important conversation for municipalities.

To help us understand the local impact that Aggregates have on construction and infrastructure, we’re pleased to welcome Sharon Armstrong, Executive Director of the Ontario Stone, Sand & Gravel Association.

We’ll discuss why access to aggregates is so important to housing, economic development, and community growth.

We’ll also look at what municipalities can do to ensure they have access to the materials they’ll need as they plan for the future.

Because this conversation isn’t simply about construction materials. It’s about the importance that aggregates have on Communities.

It’s about how we build the roads, homes, infrastructure, and communities Canadians are counting on.

This is Municipal Affairs. I’m Christopher Brown.
