The Canadian Common Ground Alliance (CCGA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing public safety, and increasing the integrity and reliability of Canada’s underground utility infrastructure through the development and implementation of effective and efficient damage prevention practices across Canada. As Canada’s unified voice on damage prevention, the CCGA attracts members from all Canadian national organizations and associations who share common damage prevention and public safety solutions. The CCGA and its Regional Partners welcome all stakeholders who wish to be part of the identification and promotion of best practices that reduce damage to buried utilities.
The Canadian Common Ground Alliance is pleased to share the CCGA National DIRT (Damage Information Reporting Tool) Report for 2023. This report, based on data submitted by stakeholders from across the country, presents the state of Damage Prevention in Canada by analyzing information on infrastructure damages that occurred in 2023. The report shows another year of reduction in overall damages – the 5th year in a row that we see this promising performance! The Report also dives more deeply into the Root Causes associated with damages, and provides Locators, Contractors and Infrastructure Owners with valuable information to help with further developing Damage Prevention programs and strategies. Please take the time to review this report and share it with those in your network that may find it of interest. Best regards, Douglas Lapp, P.Eng. Board Chair Canadian Common Ground Alliance |
