Ontario is experiencing a critical road salt shortage. Consistent weather events have required more frequent salt applications which have diminished bulk and bagged supplies in the local market.
We understand that your commitments to your customers matter. A shortage of bulk salt does not negate your obligation to keep properties clear and safe. Running out of salt is simply not an option.
For over 30 years, we have built a solid network of suppliers to ensure that bulk salt is always available – weather or not. Despite the dire conditions of Ontario’s salt market, we are going to great lengths to continue importing shipments. We’re making significant investments in new channels of supply to ensure we have the inventory to take us through to the end of the winter season.
We encourage you to propose alternatives to your customers, including sand/salt mix and bagged water softening salt. These options may provide some relief while we work towards delivering bulk rock salt shipments as quickly as possible.
Our commitment to you remains steadfast: supplying safety-critical salt when you need it most. We appreciate your trust in our ability to secure salt during this urgent supply shortage.
Sincerely,
Draglam Salt
