DUFFERIN AGGREGATES
Town of Halton Hills
A daily Goal
Building strong community relations is a daily goal for Dufferin Aggregates’ Acton Quarry. The Acton Quarry takes steps to mitigate noise from its operations, conducts regular inspections, and maintains ongoing sweeping, watering and equipment washing to keep dust at bay. Site maintenance and monitoring reduces the impact of blasting, while a customized Truck Safety Policy keeps roads safe for workers and visitors.
Open for Charity tours & Educational Events
Acton Quarry also stays connected with its community: staff host an annual Earth Week Celebration with Scouts Canada and the quarry opens its gates for several charity events, educational tours and open houses throughout the year. It maintains an Acton Quarry Community Advisory Panel (CAP) to keep neighbours updated on its operations and regularly contributes monetary and in-kind donations to local groups and organizations, including the Acton Fire Fighters Association, Georgetown Hospital and the Acton Legion
