Worldwide Opportunities in Regulation and Consumer Protection

About Us

At Ontario Dig Authority, your work has a real impact. Every day, you help protect public safety and the critical infrastructure that keeps homes, businesses, and communities running; that impact is felt everywhere. By preventing what could go wrong, you are part of something bigger.

What We Do
Ontario Dig Authority promotes dig safe and click before you dig messaging, provides a locate request system that connects those planning to dig with buried infrastructure owners, and regulates Ontario’s locate notification system.

In 2012, the Ontario Underground Infrastructure Notification System Act was passed, which stipulates that by law, anyone in the province of Ontario must contact Ontario Dig Authority before they dig.

Though Ontario Dig Authority does not physically mark the lines, pipes, or cables, we relay all dig information to the buried infrastructure owners so they can mark (locate) based on the request you submit. Buried infrastructure owners will then deliver locates. Locates minimize the risk of infrastructure damage, loss of service, and injury.

Work that makes a difference. That’s work that truly matters.
