Let me be clear that I believe the title above whether Liberal or Conservative government. I/We simply do not have enough data to determine categorically if this also applies to a NDP government as we've only had one in Ontario, more than thirty years ago. Today's Waterloo Region Record has an article well written by Paige Desmond titled "Waterloo Region residents faced a rocky road battling gravel pits in 2023".
This article describes ongoing local concerns including in Shingletown and Petersburg. The pit in Shingletown is called the Hallman Pit and the one in Petersburg is named the Middle St. Pit. A decision will be forthcoming from the Ontario Land Tribunal regarding the Hallman Pit. Petersburg residents are appealing Wilmot Council's approval for the Middle St. pit to the Ontario Land Tribunal. Rory Farnan from Citizens for Safe Ground Water advises that the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) has a strong track record favouring gravel pit owners and developers. He stated that "...I'm optimistic. History would tell me not to be."
