Neighbourly Priorities
Being a good neighbour is an ongoing priority for the team at McGregor Quarry. In addition to taking steps to control the noise, dust and traffic at its operations, the quarry hosts an annual community barbecue, site tours and an annual Public Liaison Committee (PLC) holiday wine and cheese reception. McGregor Quarry staff are also proud to host site tours for students from local schools and to open its gates to public members looking to learn more about its operations.
Local Sponsorship
Beyond this, the site sponsors local fundraising events and provides stone donations to organizations such as the Murchadha House For Those with Exceptional Needs, Co-An Park in McGregor, Gesstwood Camp & Education Centre, the Essex County Steam & Gas Engine Museum, and the Amherstburg Malden and Anderdon (AMA) Sportsmen’s Association. More recently, McGregor Quarry employees helped organize a food drive for the Amherstburg Food Bank and succeeded in filling a pickup truck with much-needed supplies for those in need.
