This is what we're up against after four years of diligent work by the Town of Caledon, the Aggregate Resources Community Working Group, numerous residents, and our group to create modern, evidence-based aggregate policies.

At the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference in August 2025, the Town of Caledon met with Minister Harris to present the issues facing Caledon regarding aggregates.

Six months later, at the Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA) conference, the Minister refused to meet with the Mayor, Councillors and staff. This was especially frustrating as Caledon is a TAPMO (Top Aggregate Producing Municipalities of Ontario) member and Caledon is acknowledged across the province as being the leader in reforming aggregate policies.

The Province instead overrode the Town’s progressive policies, sent a threatening letter about the Town’s continuing policy work, and then would not even return a phone call when the Town attempted to discuss the matter.

Four years of local expertise, public participation, and collaborative policymaking—dismissed with the stroke of a pen.

The Statistics Canada Census of Agriculture plays an important role in shaping the future of agriculture. It shows what farming looks like today and helps track long-term trends like farmland loss. This data supports stronger OFA advocacy efforts, better policy, and a better understanding of agriculture’s impact on our communities and economy.

This is the Headwaters Region…almost the highest point in Ontario, and the birthplace of more than 65 rivers that flow into 4 major water systems and ultimately sustain 3 of the Great Lakes.

Beneath this area lies something even more extraordinary: a 400 million year old aquifer that naturally filters and delivers cold, clean, clear drinking water. It’s one of our most powerful natural systems that supports all life.

So what is it worth?

Millions? Billions?

The truth is, its value goes far beyond dollars. It’s priceless. And that’s exactly why it must be protected.

We would like to propose the creation of Ontario’s official Bluebelt.

By creating Ontario’s Bluebelt, we can safeguard the Headwaters Region and the rivers that begin here….the Saugeen, Grand, Nottawasaga, and Credit/Humber….ensuring clean water continues to flow for generations to come.

This is about stewardship. About responsibility. About recognizing that some things are too important to lose.

Would you stand up for this? Would you help protect Ontario’s water source?

If this matters to you, share this message, join the conversation, and connect with us. Together, we can protect what truly matters.
