Aggregate & Mining
(429 articles)
The aggregate industry is one of the largest resource-based industries in the Province of Ontario. By some estimates, Ontarians consume 170-million tonnes of aggregates each year, creating roads and buildings.

In southern Ontario, the Niagara Escarpment is dramatically impacted by aggregate excavation – many of these stories are filed in the Hamilton Region.
