The Cambridge, Ontario-based company dates back to 1947, when Murvyn Willson started Paris Construction. In 1975, his son Bob bought Paris Construction and a few years later purchased Lakeview Sand and Gravel.

Today, Murvyn’s grandson Matthew Willson is the owner of the company, which has mainly morphed into aggregate producing as well as recycling. 

Matthew recently changed the company name to Willson Sand & Gravel, and operates 100 acres of licensed land on a 300-acre site.
