Gravel and Sand: The Foundation of our Society

The Edmonton region produces the world's three most valuable mineral resources: oil, gas, and mineral aggregate. Edmonton's mineral aggregate is made from preglacial sand and gravel and is used in concrete or asphalt to make roads, building foundations, railways and airport runways. The High Level Bridge (1915) and Edmonton's Convention Centre (1981) required huge amounts of concrete. Gravel originally was mined from valley terraces right in the city and former pits include Hawrelak Park, Valley Zoo / Laurier Park, Rundle Park and Hermitage Park.
