Last week, we welcomed Haldimand County Mayor Shelley Ann Bentley, Bobbi-Ann Brady , MPP for Haldimand–Norfolk, and Dr. Leslyn Lewis , MP for Haldimand–Norfolk, to CGC Hagersville for a behind-the-scenes look at one of Canada's few fully integrated gypsum operations.
Since 1931, CGC Hagersville has been a proud part of the local community and a key contributor to . One of the few facilities in the country where underground gypsum mining, milling, wallboard production, and joint compound manufacturing operate together in a single location, the site plays a vital role in supplying essential building materials across Ontario and beyond. Powered by more than 400 dedicated employees, the operation transforms raw gypsum into the products used to build homes, schools, hospitals, and commercial spaces across Canada. This unique end-to-end process continues to attract interest from community leaders, industry partners, and government representatives eager to see Canadian manufacturing and mining excellence in action.
Thank you to our guests for visiting, and to Dale Cox, Plant Manager, Owen Zerr, Mine Manager, and David Haviland, Mine Engineer, for helping showcase the people, innovation, and expertise behind the operation every day. We also appreciated having J.P. Antonacci from The Hamilton Spectator and Nick Fearns from The Haldimand Press join us for the underground mine tour.
