Every year, thousands of digs happen across Ontario, but not all of them happen safely. At Ontario One Call, we’re committed to building a culture of safety, and that means raising awareness where it counts.
That’s why we’re excited to share our latest conversation on The Landscape Ontario Podcast, featuring Jean Lépine, Chief Strategy Officer at Ontario One Call, in a must-hear episode: “One Click, No Chaos: How to Avoid a Dig Mistake”. Hosted by Karina Sinclair, Managing Editor of Multimedia, Landscape Ontario.
This episode takes a deep dive into:
- Why every dig, no matter the size or depth, legally requires a locate request
- What the data tells us: according to Ontario One Call’s research (January 2025), 1 in 4 residential digging projects results in accidental damage to underground infrastructure.
- How Ontario One Call is working with industry partners like Landscape Ontario to strengthen compliance and protect lives
- What landscapers, contractors, and homeowners must know to stay safe, stay compliant, and avoid damaging underground infrastructure
From routine fence installs to major landscaping jobs, you are responsible for requesting locates, and not doing so could cost you your reputation, your wallet, or worse.
Let’s continue building a safer Ontario together.
