Lafarge Abbotsford Gravel Pit Reclamation

/in /by

Lafarge Canada Inc. has owned and operated a 30 acre sand and gravel reserve operating under Abbotsford Gravel Sales, located on Clearbrook Road in Abbotsford.

By 2006, the gravel reserves were depleted from this location. At the time there were limited legal clean fill locations available.

Lafarge identified this need and worked with the City of Abbotsford to create a legal permitted fill site.

Students Show Off Operator Skills At Lafarge Cannon Pit

/in /by

High school students from the Abbotsford school district are provided the opportunity to demonstrate their heavy equipment operating skills at a recent open house at the Lafarge Cannon Pit in Mission BC.

The students are part of the Abbotsford School District’s Heavy Equipment Operator (HEO) ACE IT Apprenticeship Training Program.

“We know there are a lot of opportunities for heavy equipment operators,” said Patricia Tebbutt, district principal for career programs with the school district.

The program is in its fourth year and is the first of its kind in the country.
