PROTECTING Our Escarpment
PitSense is a community of people organized to respond to proposals for further increases in the number of aggregate operations in Caledon.
We are opposed to the continuing 'Domino Effect' growth of open pit mines and quarries in the agricultural and rural residential areas of the Niagara Escarpment and UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right.
                    ... Henry Ford
In February 2010 Blueland Farms Limited applied for a Class “A” (pit below water) license to excavate mineral aggregate from a pit of 40.5 hectares in size (111 acres) at the McCormick Farm property on Heart Lake Road in Caledon. This application was for the establishment of a new pit. The annual tonnage condition applied for
is 1,500,000 tonnes.

As specified in the Aggregate
Resources Act, written notice
concerning this application was
delivered to landowners within
120 metres of the proposed licensed
boundary; an information sign,
giving notice to the public of this
application, was erected at the
proposed site; and a Notice of
Application appeared in the local
paper, the Caledon Citizen on February 4, 2010. A public information session was held on February 25, 2010 at the “Caledon Village Place”, 18313 Hurontario Street, Caledon.

It is the responsibility of the citizens of Ontario to make their views known about developments such as this. Please use this website and related links as a resource.
