Scotian Materials Ltd. is a Nova Scotia company in the sustainable stone industry.
Our goal is to help local roadbuilders and contractors develop communities by building roads, schools, hospitals and other community infrastructure. Our role is to supply them with quality foundation products like crushed rock and aggregate at competitive prices and with excellent service.
                  Or,  as we sometimes say, we run a “rock store.”
Headquartered in the Aerotech Industrial Park in HRM, we responsibly operate well-managed quarries from Halifax to Shelburne along Route 103. At every level of our business, we make a conscious effort to go above and beyond minimum requirements. We make our decisions with a focus on our social and environmental responsibility.
Known for our open-door policy of engagement with the communities where we work, we are proud of our advances in this sustainable industry that has for centuries been the foundation of our highways and infrastructure.

Robert MacPherson, P. Eng.
With more than 20 years of experience in civil engineering and community development behind him, Scotian Materials Ltd.’s, Robert MacPherson operates with the unshakable belief that what serves communities and businesses well can be harmonious.
“My philosophy is that when communities and companies meet in a spirit of open engagement and talk about what’s on their minds, inevitably you discover that you share common concerns and goals,” he explains.
“Once you find that ground, you can begin to work in the direction of conciliation and progress.”
