Support Damage Prevention Legislation
Damaging a buried utility is dangerous for the workers involved and can deprive homes and businesses of essential services. Each year, damage to underground infrastructure costs Albertans more than $350 million. To ensure the safety of our workers, to help protect the integrity of our buried utility network and to preserve our essential services, Alberta needs damage prevention legislation. Provincial damage prevention legislation was tabled in the Alberta Legislature in 2019 but did not pass third reading due to the Provincial Election. We are working with the new government to re-table legislation. We Need Your Help We are working with the current government to re-table damage prevention legislation. We encourage all stakeholders to write a letter to Minister Madu, supporting our efforts. Click here LETTER OF SUPPORT to view a template that can be used.

It is now more important than ever to demonstrate the dedication and support of Alberta's damage prevention and ground disturbance community. Your voice matters. Your support will move damage prevention legislation Bill 211 forward. | Follow On Social MediaDownloadDownload |
