Underground infrastructure bill heading to Commons

Hundreds of thousands of kilometres of pipes and cables are buried across Canada to provide water, heat, power, cell service and internet services. Damaging a buried utility is dangerous for the workers involved and can deprive homes and businesses of essential services. Each year, damaged underground infrastructure costs Canadians more than $1 billion.

Bill S-229, the Underground Infrastructure Safety Enhancement Act, is set for debate in the House of Commons. CNLA supports this legislation. Landscape and horticulture professionals who support the bill can let their Member of Parliament know by visiting ICanDigSafe.ca; the website provides a pre-written letter of support. Supporters can spread the message by following @CanadianCGA on Twitter and posting tweets with the hashtag #SupportS229.
