Our Mission
Ontario Dig Authority is a public safety administrative authority under the Ontario Underground Infrastructure Notification System Act, 2012. At the heart of who we are is protecting people, infrastructure and communities across the province. Through our province-wide safety and education programs, we connect excavators with infrastructure owners, regulate Ontario’s locate notification system and promote safe excavation practices.
We regulate an efficient locate system, foster industry wide collaboration, and promote safe, timely excavation across Ontario.
Our efforts will result in a locate process that is not only safe, but efficient and timely. We will work directly with stakeholders to preemptively resolve issues and hope that they will turn to us for the necessary advice and expertise. Our proactive efforts will ensure Ontarians are well aware of the importance of safe excavation and the resources we provide to enable this.
