The Town of Caledon aims to "...create a safe and vibrant community for our residents."

We residents want to live in a community safe from the hazards of a blasting quarry.

• FLY ROCK: the unplanned and unpredictable ejection of rock fragments from blast holes, travelling distances as far as 600 m at speeds of up to 650 km/h. There is no technology to identify anomalies in bed rock which can result in fly rock. Every one of the multiple bore holes in a blasting event is a separate detonation, subject to the risk of fly rock ejection.
• TRAFFIC: Not just from accidents on the road but also from diesel exhaust from idling trucks waiting to get on or off the site, and more trucks on the road. As indicated on the US National Health Institutes site, diesel exhaust particulates can "reasonably (be) anticipated to be a human carcinogen."
