Advocacy:  Protecting and promoting the industry

The aggregate industry is one of the most highly regulated in Ontario.  More than 25 pieces of legislation ensure the protection of people, the natural environment and future resources.  OSSGA works closely with all levels of government to ensure effective legislation and regulation.  Examples include:
  • Land Use Planning -- participation in the review of the Provincial Plans, Aggregate Resources Act, and Provincial Policy Statement
  • Compliance requirements under the Endangered Species Act
  • Regular specifications meetings with the Ministry of Transportation
  • Monitoring and participation in Municipal Official Plans, by-laws and regulations
As an OSSGA member you receive regular notification of new government regulations or changes to existing regulations affecting the industry.  You also have access to professional advice regarding regulations, licensing, government affairs, health and safety and environmental issues.
 
There's strength in numbers!  On specific issues, the Association acts as a hub, allowing members to pool their resources to protect against unfair local or regional decisions, OMB hearings or municipal plan amendments.  Add your voice to help us be even stronger.
