The History of the Caledon Pit
The Caledon Main Pit, initially owned by Conn Smythe, has played a pivotal role in supplying essential materials for road and building construction throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
Over the years, it has been recognized with numerous awards, including the prestigious Ontario Sand, Stone and Gravel’s (OSSGA) “Award of Excellence,” a testament to the safety, environmental stewardship, and community engagement of the plant operations.
