Aggregate Use and Permitting

The Aggregate Use and Permitting presentation will give an overview of the Aggregate Resources Act, how it applies on both Crown and Private lands. It will also give an in depth look at the roles of the applicant, MNRF and Aboriginal communities in the application process for pits and quarries in Ontario.
As an adaptation strategy to climate change, many communities are considering all-season roads. Windigo First Nations Council will share the knowledge gained through North Caribou Lake First Nation’s experience with the MNRF’s permitting process in relation to their road, bridge and aggregate projects. Participants will be guided through the process that NCLFN has followed thus far, including specific steps the projects went through to obtain permits, and some of the challenges along the way.
