The main feature of the Professor’s Lake complex is a 65-acre spring-fed lake. Many nearby residents use the lake for sailing, windsurfing and canoeing, as well as ice skating in the winter. There is a beach, waterslide, as well as three volleyball courts at the far end. During the site’s production years, an estimated 20 million tonnes of sand and gravel was extracted and used in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). At OSSGA, we are proud to celebrate the best rehabilitation projects in the province with our Bronze Plaque Award. Established in 1975, it remains the association’s most prestigious award, reserved for outstanding examples of cutting-edge rehabilitation of pits and quarries in Ontario.
