Commitment to Goodness
Milton Quarry’s commitment to being a good neighbour is demonstrated throughout its site and beyond. Consistent communication and advanced blast protocols keep disturbances at bay, while noise-buffering equipment, on-site berms and regular maintenance suppress dust and noise. Off-site, the quarry is an engaged member of its community. It donates funds and materials to different non-profit organizations, and hosts annual tree planting activities, Open Door events and educational tours and programs.
Active Community Members
In 2018 alone, quarry volunteers completed maintenance on a wheelchair-accessible nature path at a local pediatric hospice and respite centre on behalf of the Darling Home for Kids. What’s more, staff are active on local committees, boards, and in fundraising events and environmental clean-up activities. Quarry initiatives are communicated to the broader public through Dufferin Aggregates’ website and the Milton Quarry Community Advisory Panel.
