  Sorry I just found this as it was Feb. 23. 
  Anyone know about this group? Randy - has your gravel pit group ever allied with this one? Or have the Covered Bridge people?

   Gravel Pits: A Threat to the Future of Food

  hosted by the Waterloo Region Food System Roundtable 

  Over 7,000 acres of the best potato land in Dufferin County has been purchased by a company wanting to mine aggregates.  Across the province, existing provincial and municipal policies do little to prevent the conversion of prime agricultural land to gravel pits.  What threats are we facing in our area?  Local farmers and activists will discuss their concerns about food production and identify ways to take action.
