Community

At Capital Paving, we pride ourselves on being industry leaders in several key areas. For more than two decades, we have supported our community through sponsorship, donation and open house opportunities. Giving back is so fundamental to what our company is about, and we have spent the past few years preparing for even greater participation in our community. Capital Paving wants to continue to have a positive impact in the areas of education  (http://www.rocktoroad.com/06mj.html#capital), healthcare, and the environment. Some of our past partners include The Wellington Catholic District School Board, Homewood Health Centre, Guelph General Hospital, the Alzheimer's Society, Hespeler Minor Hockey Association, and The Weekend to End Breast Cancer.

We are also conscious of the impact our industry can have on the environment, and taking our lead from forestry experts we are committed to working in harmony with the environment by exceeding industry standards in the areas of rehabilitation and revitalization. In recent years we have won several awards from the Ontario Stone, Sand and Gravel Association for our rehabilitative efforts.

Ellis_Chappel.jpgIn 2006, Capital Paving also partnered with Dufferin Aggregates to help create a 187-metre channel in the Mill Creek watershed. This environmental project led to improved habitat for fish and other wildlife, and a desirable breeding ground for brown trout. The project has been used for educational purposes by the Friends of Mill Creek Junior Rangers, the University of Guelph, and the Grand River Conservation Authority.

Two ambitious projects undertaken by our employees include the revitalization of the historic Ellis Chapel, and the restoration of Howitt Memorial Cemetery in the Township of Puslinch.  Capital Paving is proud to have dedicated employees to spearhead these projects. Active participation is key to the success of these projects, and Capital Paving has proven that we are leaders in community involvement.

In August 2009, Capital Paving partnered with the Optimist Club to raise funds for the proposed Multi-Use Recreational Facility (MURF) in Puslinch, Ontario. A team of Capital employees organized and hosted a Farm to Fork culinary event at the Puslinch Community Centre. The event was a huge success and rose close to $100,000 for the MURF fund.
