Municipal Gravel Sales
The MD would like to inform residents that municipal gravel will no longer be available for sale to private parties beginning in 2026.
At the March 24, 2026, Council meeting, Council accepted the recommendation of the Public Works Manager to cease the sale of gravel. This decision was not made lightly and followed careful consideration of several key factors affecting the Municipality’s long-term operations sustainability, including:
-
Limited availability of gravel:
Gravel has become increasingly difficult to source, placing pressure on the Municipality’s long-term supply needed to maintain roads and infrastructure. Residents involved in these activities should consider alternative sources or plan for future needs.
-
Rising operational costs:
Crushing costs have increased substantially. Current sale prices do not recover the full cost of crushing operations, even before accounting for royalties, stripping costs, and equipment wear.
-
Discontinuing gravel sales will help preserve municipal resources for essential infrastructure projects that directly benefit residents and the community.
The Municipality values the community’s understanding and cooperation, which helps us work together to maintain our shared infrastructure. Please contact a private Gravel Hauling Company for the sale of gravel.
For any further questions or concerns, please contact the Public Works Department by calling 403 627-3130.
