Community Reputation
Vineland Quarries and Crushed Stone’s strong community reputation is maintained through both onsite and offsite activities. The site is host to a hut for a local Scout troop, conservation lands, and bee crates for a local beekeeper. Staff also conduct tours for students and interested members of the public throughout the year.
HealtH of SURROUNDING COMMUNITY
In addition, Vineland Quarries contributes to the health of the surrounding community. Last year alone it donated over 243 tonnes of stone to organizations that included the Newark Neighbours food bank, Pathstone Mental Health, and Community Care of West Niagara, and contributed both volunteers and cash to enhancing the nearby Vineland Community Park. These initiatives complement the quarry’s daily measures aimed at mitigating the impact of its operations on its neighbours, and maintaining open lines of communication for public inquiries and concerns.
