Town of Bracebridge
An INtegral community member
Noise, dust, odour and traffic safety measures are at the forefront of Rosewarne Quarry’s community relations strategy. In addition to employing different technologies and procedures to mitigate the impact of its operations on neighbours, the quarry strives to be an integral part of its Muskoka community. It sponsors local sports teams and community organizations, while its workers are familiar faces at the Salvation Army Christmas Program, the Terry Fox Run, IRONMAN Muskoka and the Santa Claus Parade.
Promoting awareness and education
As well, the quarry contributes materials and equipment to the Rotary bus shelter rehabilitation, the annual Fire and Ice Festival and the Canadian Mining Games. It also strives to promote industry awareness and education by hosting community open houses, collaborating with local schools, and working with organizations to encourage young female students to pursue STEM opportunities in the skilled trades.
