Alberta’s government is acting fast on 15 recommendations delivered by the Sand and Gravel Task Force report to modernize private land sand and gravel pit regulation.

Sand and gravel operations supply the materials that build Alberta’s homes, roads and infrastructure. Modernizing Alberta’s approach will help create jobs, protect the environment and support a fast-growing economy.

“Sand and gravel help build the roads we drive on, the homes we live in and the infrastructure that supports our province. It also helps create jobs and grow our economy. These recommendations will help get rid of unnecessary government bureaucracy, create more opportunities in the sand and gravel sector and protect our strong environmental safeguards.”

Rebecca Schulz, Minister of Environment and Protected Areas
