Municipalities encouraged to approve One Call

Municipalities in the region are being urged to support provincial legislation that would create a one-call centre for people needing to locate underground infrastructure before digging.

Kenora and Fort Frances have pledged to support the One Call system so far.

Luke Skaarup of Union Gas says the system improves safety.

The legislation, though, is being opposed by the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association.
