Canadian Locators Inc. has received the 2025 Utility Safety Partners Locator of the Year Award. The recognition reflects the work performed every day by the company’s managers, field crews, office staff, quality teams, and support teams.

For contractors, utilities, municipalities, and project owners, accurate utility locating is a critical first step. It helps reduce the risk of utility strikes, service interruptions, costly delays, and unsafe excavation conditions.

“This award means a lot to us because damage prevention is real work. When a locate is done properly, it helps keep people safe, prevents strikes and delays, and saves customers money. I am proud to accept the award on behalf of everyone at Canadian Locators Inc., including our managers, field crews, and office staff. They do the work every day, and this recognition belongs to them.”

Dimitris Agouridis, CEO and President

Recognition for the Whole Team

The award belongs to the people behind every locate request and field response. Managers coordinate safe, dependable operations. Field crews complete locates in changing conditions and under real schedule pressure. Office and support teams keep requests, records, quality reviews, and customer communication moving.

Together, those roles support the consistent service standards required for effective damage prevention.

Why Accurate Locating Matters

Every excavation project carries risk. Missing or inaccurate information can lead to damaged infrastructure, service disruptions, project delays, repair costs, and serious safety hazards.

Canadian Locators helps clients make better decisions before excavation begins. Its work combines trained people, clear processes, responsive coordination, accurate documentation, and field execution focused on safety.

Supporting Safe Excavation Across Alberta

The Utility Safety Partners award reflects the confidence of Alberta’s damage-prevention community. It also recognizes the role accurate locating plays in protecting people, underground infrastructure, schedules, and budgets.

As part of INTUS Group, Canadian Locators contributes to a broader infrastructure platform serving utilities, municipalities, contractors, and communities from planning through field delivery.

Moving Forward With the Same Standard

This award is an important milestone, but it does not change the work ahead. Canadian Locators remains focused on accurate utility information, safe excavation, reliable communication, and reducing preventable damage.

The recognition belongs to the full team—and to the discipline they bring to damage prevention every day.
