Walker - Aggregates

Communities oten ask us “What’s involved in operating a gravel pit or quarry?” While the day to day can be easily seen with a quick visit to the site, what isn’t obvious are the moving parts in the background.

After over 130 years in business Walker has a new look. The company, which started out as a single cut stone quarry back in 1887, has grown and diversified well beyond its humble beginnings.

In July 2019 Walker Industries Holdings Ltd. acquired Harold Sutherland Construction Ltd., a company which operates more than ten pits and five quarries in Grey and Bruce counties.
