The Ontario Regional Common Ground Alliance (ORCGA) invites you to join the FREE Geographic Council meetings that take place across the province virtually to promote the message that “damage prevention is a shared responsibility”.
These meetings are to share underground infrastructure damage prevention best practices, exchange ideas and provide a forum to hear about local projects and regional issues.
==========================================================
Agenda Topics:
Dedicated Locator
An introduction about the new legal concept of Dedicated Locator as introduced in the amendments to OUNISA 2012.
Dedicated Locator allows a project of any size to have a single dedicated locator to mark all underground infrastructure (excluding transmissions).
We will talk about the benefits of using Dedicated Locator for excavating projects, the requirements for the members of Ontario One Call, and some of the lessons learnt to date.
Adam Mordaunt, Director of Member Services, Ontario One Call
Changes to the OUINS Act
Ontario One Call gives an overview on the changes to the OUINS Act via the amendments under Building Broadband Faster Act (Bill 93).
Jeff Hitchcock, Education & Training and Program Manager, Ontario One Call
Accelerated High Speed Internet Program and BBFA
Join us for an overview of Ontario’s sweeping Accelerated High-Speed Internet Program which is a part of the government’s plan to provide nearly $4 billion worth of investments to support high-speed internet infrastructure deployment and access to broadband (50/10 Mbps) by the end of 2025.
