The
Ontario rural council backs gravel and stone levy plea
Nassagaweya township requests a province wide levy per ton on gravel and stone to fund rehabilitation of defaced areas. At the Toronto convention about 500 rural-municipality reps endorsed the plan, urged Niagara Escarpment areas to be protected, and noted quarry firms currently follow local bylaws with minimal area levies. Reeve W Coulter supported Nassagaweya’s case and the resolution, already framed by Councillor Anne MacArthur, moves toward provincial action on quarrying impacts.
