Damage Prevention is a Shared Responsibility

Canadian Common Ground Alliance
International Damage Prevention Symposium
November 16 - 18, 2021

Join us for the 2021 CCGA International Damage Prevention Symposium, held virtually from November 16 - 18, 2021.

This event is a signature event for the CCGA attracting over 265+ damage prevention management professionals and decision makers from across Canada including stakeholder groups such as oil and gas, municipalities, telecommunications, emergency management, electrical transmission/distribution, surveyors and provincial regulators.

New for 2021!

We have expanded the Symposium content, as well as the delegate list, to discuss international damage prevention challenges. Meet with international colleagues to exchange industry information, focus on public awareness initiatives for damage prevention and expand stakeholder knowledge on efforts to protect essential infrastructure.

Format

The format for the conference consists of 3 days of professional development, workshops, panel presentations, networking events, along with an exhibitor tradeshow.
