ANNOUNCEMENT        

The Duff family has been in the aggregate business since the 1920’s when John Cameron Duff began hauling sand & gravel into a growing Ontario market.

J. C. Duff Limited was incorporated in 1947 beginning a commercial operation that has been supplying the western Toronto Area for 58 years. We were founding members of the Aggregate Producers’ Association of Ontario and have seen and been part of many positive changes in this industry. As this year draws to a close, we anticipate another positive change.

The Duff family are pleased to announce the sale of their sand and gravel operations in Ontario to Canada Building Materials (CBM), a division of St. Marys Cement Inc. (Canada) effective January 2006.

St Marys Cement Inc. is a leading manufacturer of cement and related construction products in the United States and Canada. CBM Aggregates is a well managed, community minded organization with an excellent reputation as a respectable and progressive company.

We are confident that CBM / St. Mary’s will maintain and enhance the strong relationships we have enjoyed with our existing employees, truckers, customers, neighbours, suppliers, industry colleagues and government officials.

On behalf of the Duff family, I would like to thank all of the good people we have been fortunate enough to know and work with over the years.

We wish you all of the best in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Ian W. Duff
President
J. C. Duff Sand & Gravel Limited
