Walker Aggregates Inc.
Town of Duntroon
A PROUD AND ACTIVE COmmunity CONTRIBUTOR
Duntroon Quarry is a proud and active contributor to its community, whether through its ongoing sponsorship of the Stayner Siskins Hockey Club, its support for the Feversham Fall Fair, or its stone donations to the Collingwood Agricultural Society, Emmanuel Presbyterian Church, Tomahawk Golf Course and Osprey Snow Hawks Snowmobile Club, among other groups. Quarry staff host multiple tours for students from Duntroon Highlands Nordic to help them learn about the industry as part of their outdoor education program. They also take extensive measures to minimize the impact of the quarry’s operation, monitoring noise and vibration levels with Explotech tools and taking many steps to reduce dust and noise.
On-Site safety
As well, the quarry employs a retired police officer to keep an eye on the roads, and staff provide a traffic plan and beacons to customers and drivers to help ensure their on-site safety. All of these efforts are communicated through newsletters and the Walker Aggregates website.
