Events
 259 delegates were welcomed to the 2020 ORCGA Damage Prevention Symposium, February 11-13, at Fairmont Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, ON.
 The Symposium provided 19 informative sessions presented by leading professionals. Of note, the Late Locates Plenary Panel session provided ample time for questions and answers on this pressing provincial issue. The ORCGA was pleased to host two leading keynote speakers: Ron Kelusky, Ontario's Chief Prevention Officer and Margaret Kenequanash, Watay Power.

The ORCGA led discussions on Late Utility Locates at 13 chapter meetings across the province to give our stakeholders an opportunity to voice concerns. Over 500 stakeholders participated and the ORCGA saw repeated themes emerging.
 This year, the ORCGA welcomed 29 Trade Show Exhibitor companies who attended the Symposium.
The Exhibitors provided a number of important elements to the Symposium experience through education, industry knowledge, product availability and networking opportunities.
The Ontario Regional Common Ground Alliance is proud to announce that attendees of the 2020 ORCGA Damage Prevention Symposium will receive two credits toward Gold Seal Certification through the Canadian Construction Association. The Gold Seal Certification program supports the development of skilled and serious construction and heavy civil management professionals across Canada. Obtaining this certification is evidence that the individual has met the necessary requirements to perform their role. For more information about this program, visit www.goldsealcertification.com. 
 The Jim Douglas Award of Excellence recognizes damage prevention champions. The award honours ORCGA members that have served in the organization over a long period of time and whose impact has left its mark on the organization in a positive and memorable way.
 This award was presented to the ORCGA members whose dedication and service to the ORCGA went above and beyond the call of duty during a given year, and they are considered among the “most valuable players.”
