On October 1, 2026, Ontario One Call officially changed its name to Ontario Dig Authority during an announcement in Guelph, Ontario. This rebranding comes at a time when the province is experiencing significant growth in housing, transportation, utility, and community infrastructure projects. The new designation as Ontario Dig Authority is intended to reinforce its commitment to public safety and the responsible management of excavation activities across the province.
Ontario Dig Authority will serve to improve public awareness and compliance with safe excavation practices, promoting a safer environment for both workers and residents. The organization plays a critical role as a hub for various stakeholders, including utility companies, construction firms, and municipalities, ensuring they have access to vital information required before excavation projects begin.
With the increase in development activities in Ontario, the need for clear communication and coordination among all parties involved in excavation work has become more pressing. The Ontario Dig Authority aims to address these challenges and support the provincial goal of streamlined infrastructure development while prioritizing safety standards in every project.
