Get The Dirt On All Digs

Contacting Ontario One Call will help protect your project from unnecessary damages, injuries, and administrative penalties. We notify buried infrastructure owners that you are excavating. Once notified, all buried infrastructure owners notified on the locate request will locate the cables, pipes and wires they own or let you know their infrastructure is not at risk and are clear to dig. Requesting a locate is free and it’s the law.
