BUILDING COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS
The team at Duntroon Quarry takes a multi-faceted approach to building community relationships. Onsite, it employs noise and dust mitigation practices, as well as traffic safety measures. It also keeps neighbours well informed of its operations via the Walker Industries website, newsletters and Public Liaison Committee (PLC) events. Nearby neighbours also receive personal calls prior to blasting activities.
An Investment in people
Duntroon Quarry is equally invested in the people around it. In addition to sponsoring the Stayner Siskins OHA Junior C Hockey Club, the Quarry donates stone to numerous groups, including the Collingwood Agricultural Society, Osprey Snow Hawks Snowmobile Club, Habitat for Humanity Ontario Gateway North, the Duntroon Community Hall and the Stayner Kinsmen. This is on top of contributing cash, volunteer support, and donations to organizations such as the Collingwood Salvation Army and the Clearview Stayner Food Bank.
