'Be a Good Neighbour' Caledon Residents Urge Osprey Valley to Rethink Quarry Water Deal

'Say it clear, say it loud, leave our water in the ground!' rang out last week outside TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley on the second day of the RBC Canadian Open. Forks of the Credit Preservation Group (FCPG) were protesting to urge Chris Humeniuk, the owner of TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, not to accept the groundwater from a proposed Caledon mega quarry. According to the group, Humeniuk has partnered with a Brazilian cement company called CBM to submit a proposal for a 700-acre mega-quarry just down the road. 'If that quarry is approved, the environmental and social impacts will be devastating,' said David Sylvester, Chair of FCGP. Sylvester said this quarry will create a 'host' of environmental issues, including traffic, air, and natural environment, and the issue focused on that day is water. FCGP has previously protested against the proposed mega quarry. The day's demonstration focused on the millions of litres of excess water the golf course would potentially take into their own ponds. Sylvester spoke about how the quarry proposal requires that the aggregate company continuously pump out or remove millions of litres of water from the quarry. 'That's upwards of 500 million liters of water discharged from the quarry, and it has to go somewhere,' said Sylvester. 'Chris Humeniuk has agreed to take the water onto the golf course property, dump it into one of their discharge ponds or holding ponds, where it will then run into the Credit River.' Sylvester said the many issues this can cause in the credit, including the effect on Brook Trout. Brook Trout can only survive in cold water, and dumping excess water will affect the climate of the credit. He shared another major issue with the mega quarry will be the impact on residents in the northwest part of Caledon who rely on private wells. Sylvester addressed the quarry application documents that show a significant number of private wells for residents will be impacted. 'You just can't live without water,' said Sylvester. 'The CDM people claim to have a mitigation plan to help compensate local folks who don't have water. That includes big plastic tanks on our front lawn, which are refilled maybe once a week. But that is absolutely unacceptable. It's insulting to think that that's an appropriate way to rectify or correct such a serious issue.' FCPG shared that they are not against the RBC Canadian Open, and were there in hopes to bring more awareness to the public. 'We're not against the Canadian Open, we're not against the golf course, we're against the golf course taking the water,' shared Debra Wilson, an FCPG volunteer. She said that despite the rainy weather, they received much support. 'We decided we need more voices, and people said they'll come out and say 'we're absolutely supporting you, we're on the side with us',' said Wilson. 'We would like to think that Chris Humeniuk and TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley will reconsider this decision they've made to take the water and do the right thing, be a good neighbor, and leave the water on site,' shared Sylvester. In a statement to the Citizen, Chris Humeniuk, President of TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, shared the following. 'I am tremendously grateful for the support we received as we celebrated the RBC Canadian Open with our friends, neighbours and over 130,000 visitors to Caledon. It is disappointing that the FCPG attempted to use the occasion and spotlight of the week to both attract attention to themselves and to undermine this historic event as it took place in Caledon for the first time. 'However, it is not surprising. Over the past several months, we have taken the initiative to engage them and offer the qualified consultants they claim to have retained the opportunity to attend the site and review reports submitted as part of the regulatory approval process. 'To date, our repeated invitations have been rejected. 'Rather than providing any qualified evidence to support their assertions, the FCPG has chosen to repeatedly mislead the public with inaccurate speculation and attack me personally in an effort described on their own website as one designed to attract the attention of the 'big media' covering the RBC Canadian Open. 'From our perspective, the ball is in their court. The qualified reports upon which we are relying are all a matter of public record. We have invited the FCPG to share the findings and reports of their qualified consultants that might differ with those submitted by CBM or the Town of Caledon's review of the same. Nobody has more invested in our community than we do, and the last thing we desire is to harm the very place my family considers home. If they have real, qualified information then we want to know about it.' Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again.

Jack Nicklaus Said What Everyone Was Thinking After Scottie Scheffler's Win Sunday

Jack Nicklaus Said What Everyone Was Thinking After Scottie Scheffler's Win Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Golf sensation Scottie Scheffler won his third tournament of the 2025 PGA Tour season on Sunday at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio. Advertisement Scheffler overcame obstacles and opponents alike at the Jack Nicklaus designed Muirfield Village Golf Club to capture the championship, putting four strokes between himself and runner-up Ben Griffin. Scheffler's ace performance included commentary from Jack Nicklaus, the golf legend and 18 major championship winner who did not hold back his thoughts on the difference between Scheffler and the rest of the golf world.

"(Scottie Scheffler knows those guys are not in his league)," the former Ohio State Buckeye and golf legend added. "Every win Scottie has will have an asterisk until pro golf is reunited," one fan said, not completely impressed with his accomplishments in light of the LIV Tour's successes. Advertisement "Interesting that Jack confirmed Scottie is playing weak competition because of LIV," another fan said. "People are going to get mad at Jack, but if anyone is allowed to say whatever he wants about golf, it's Jack," another fan added. Another appeared to indicate that Scheffler is a level above golfers on both tours, rendering his current level of competition mostly irrelevant. "He didn't say Rory (McIlroy)...You know he thought it," another reader said. Next up for the PGA Tour is the TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley from June 5-8. The tournament will include a $9.8 million purse for the field as play is expected to get under way next weekend.

Hey Maple Leafs fans, Masters champion Rory McIlroy has a message for you

If you look hard enough, you can see the similarities between Rory McIlroy and Toronto Maple Leafs fans. Both are all too familiar with the chase of an elusive title, the pent up emotion from a collapse that always felt inevitable and the demons the pile up as someone else ends up raising the trophy in the end. The major difference, of course, is that McIlroy conquered those demons when he won his first Masters title in April, ending an 11-year major championship drought. Now in Toronto for the RBC Canadian Open, the world's No. 2 ranked men's golfer hopes the Leafs can do the same. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW 'If I can win the Masters, then the Leafs can win the Stanley Cup,' McIlroy said Wednesday from TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, according to TSN's Bob Weeks. The two-time winner of the RBC Canadian Open was gifted a Leafs jersey by MLSE CEO Keith Pelley, who used to head the PGA European Tour.

So hey, the Leafs are relevant in June after all. — Joe Callaghan (@JoeCallaghan84) June 4, 2025 McIlroy's win i n a sudden-death playoff hole at Augusta National made him the sixth golfer with the career Grand Slam. But the 36-year-old wasn't sure if that day would ever come. 'There were points in my career where I didn't know if I would have this nice garment over my shoulders,' McIlroy said after the win, referring to the green jacket. Golf Opinion Dave Feschuk: Rory McIlroy can exhale. He's a Masters champion at last — with a Grand Slam just like Tiger Dave Feschuk Generations of Leafs fans can surely relate. This year's Game 7 loss to the Florida Panthers in the second round of the playoffs will keep the Stanley Cup drought at 58 years and counting. At last year's Canadian Open, McIlroy told Adam Stanley of Sportsnet that it would be 'amazing' to attend a Leafs game if they were in the playoffs during the 2025 event. The good news for McIlroy and his fellow Leafs fans is, there's always next year.
