The Dig Safe Fund has been created and will be used to fund the attendance of individuals (specifically excavators/contractors/nonprofit affiliates) who would not otherwise be able to attend the CCGA Damage Prevention Symposium due to financial restrictions. This fund will allow us to have a more diverse audience, with a broader range of perspectives and conversations. This Fund is new to the Symposium and its goal is to assist attendees from our industry to be able to attend the Symposium who otherwise might not be able to attend. The CCGA invites all stakeholders of the excavating community across Canada, their affiliates, and their associations to make contributions to the Dig Safe Fund.
Our vision for Saskatchewan is to see more of the excavators and contractors attend and join our discussions.
We have been told that the biggest barrier for local contractors or excavators is the cost of the conference, as small business owners may be able to make time to attend but not be able to afford the extra $ it takes to commit.
This year we have created a Dig Safe Fund where folks like yourselves can apply to attend. We are running a campaign for contributions right now that could benefit you.
