50 Years of the Niagara Escarpment Landscape

Paper Summary:

This brief essay explores the past 50 year history of the landscape between Mississauga and the Niagara Escarpment. Of particular interest is the introduction of land use planning restrictions established to quell the pit quarrying and aggregate operations who by 1962 had begun blasting into the brow of the escarpment; forever scaring the natural environment.

From the Paper:

"The landscape between the University of Toronto Mississauga campus and the Niagara escarpment has changed dramatically over the past 50 years. Much of this change is the result of two distinct elements; progress in the form of growing aggregate companies meeting regulation in the form of the implementation of the "Niagara Escarpment Plan" ("Niagara Escarpment Plan")."
