Story

North Dumfries, situated on the vital Paris Galt Moraine, is facing an environmental crisis. This unique landscape provides critical functions, such as flood prevention, water filtration, and wildlife habitat, but it’s being threatened by rampant aggregate mining. Each year, we lose more of our Prime Class 1 Agricultural Land, a resource that represents only 5% of Canada’s farmland and can never be replaced once mined. As one of the top aggregate producers in Ontario, North Dumfries has the highest percentage of lands under extraction in the province—posing a serious risk to both our environment and future.

In partnership with the North Dumfries Conservation Alliance, we are calling for an immediate pause on all new aggregate pits to allow for sustainable land-use planning that prioritizes the long-term health of our community.

We need your help to fund education, research, expert studies, policy development, and legal efforts to protect our rights to a sustainable future. Together, we can halt the destruction of our land and ensure a better future for all.
