Nelson Aggregate’s proposed quarry expansion threatens the Mount Nemo plateau and everyone who depends on it.
Help us stop the destruction.
We’re so thankful to the City of Burlington and Halton Region for their continued commitment to Mount Nemo and the north Burlington community!
Both legal teams will file a request for review of the Ontario Land Tribunal’s (OLT) Aug. 18, 2026 Nelson Aggregate Co, quarry decision. This will include an application for judicial review with the Divisional Court before the Sept. 17, 2026 deadline. You can read their media releases on their websites:
Here’s what’s happening in Burlington
Nelson Aggregates quarry has long destroyed over 500 acres of our beloved escarpment. Now, they’re trying to get their hands on over 100 more! Located within the UNESCO world biosphere reserve, this Niagara Escarpment land is irreplaceable. Here’s a bird’s eye view of what’s happening in Burlington’s backyard.
With the health of the natural environment and public safety at risk, approving this expansion will be devastating to the community and all other species that depend on the ecological integrity of rural Burlington. We’re doing everything we can to protect Mount Nemo and the community who calls it home, but we need your help.
