CAPULC is a member in good standing with the CCGA. We want to share information between the organizations to ensure our members are updated on important topics that resonate throughout the damage prevention and ground disturbance industry.

We received the 2020 CCGA National DIRT Report today to share with you.

Please find both the English and French language versions attached.

DIRT For Canada

Reporting damages into the Damage Information Reporting Tool (DIRT) is critical for the CCGA to determine the root causes of those damages and develop mitigating measures to reduce and eliminate them. 

The CCGA’s goals relative to DIRT are:

• further promote reporting of damage into DIRT;

• expand the number of reports from participating Regions and confirm reporting from Regions that have yet to do so;

• enhance the data quality index of all damage reports; and

• roll-out the societal cost tool to all Regional Partners in Canada.

How to submit your DIRT Reports

The submission deadline is March 31st, annually. All 2020 data can be submitted before the deadline to be included in the next annual report. To participate in DIRT, simply go to www.cga-dirt.com and register as a user. Once your registration is confirmed, you can begin submitting damage information or generate reports on the existing data.
