We are pleased to present this year’s ‘BCCGA Report to our Members and Partners’ on behalf of our Board of Directors. This report provides a summary of the main successes that have taken place throughout the 2015 calendar year in relation to our strategic priorities.
From our perspective, 2015 has been another extraordinary year of advancement for the Common Ground Alliance in terms of profile, engagement and service delivery. A priority focus of our existing strategic plan is to build capacity in our organization to meet the needs of the BC excavation community. We do this by concentrating effort in three main areas:
(1) raising the awareness of risk when individuals and companies are conducting ground disturbance of any kind;
(2) educating excavators of their obligations under the law and their responsibility as it pertains to the rules set by utilities and underground facility operators; and
(3) the educating and promoting of the best practices that excavators should employ in order to reduce the number of hits to underground infrastructure and to keep workers and the general public safe.
In all of these areas, we feel that we made a significant difference. Read our 2015 BCCGA Report to Members for more details.
We also want to take this opportunity to wish all of our stakeholders a wonderful and safe holiday season. Hope to see you all in the New Year!
