Walker Aggregates Inc., Duntroon
Represented the Clearview Community Coalition (“CCC”) in its fight to stop a massive 42-million tonne aggregate quarry on the Brow of the Niagara Escarpment. Major issues of concern to CCC included haul route safety and noise. After a 15-month hearing, an unusual split decision (2-1) of the Joint Board approved the quarry but reduced the quarry footprint to preserve sensitive environmental features, including Ontario’s largest colony of the species of Special Concern, the American Hart’s Tongue Fern.
