Ontario One Call Board Vacancy – Member or Other Representative

As a public safety administrative authority, Ontario One Call (OOC) administers the Ontario Underground Infrastructure Notification System Act 2012 and plays a vital role in protecting the public from harm and damage to underground infrastructure. The guidance of its Board of Directors is integral to OOC’s ability to support members, excavators and stakeholders.

OOC is committed to diversity and inclusion; building and maintaining collaborative, caring and positive work environments, so that our employees bring their whole selves to work each and every day. This commitment is extended to the Board of Directors, and we are actively seeking to compose a Board reflective of the diversity of the Ontarians we serve and work with. In accordance with the Human Rights Code and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, OOC is pleased to offer accommodations for applicants with disabilities; if you require accommodations, please advise during the application process.

About Ontario One Call’s Board of Directors

OOC has a Board of Directors comprised of 12 representatives; leaders representing our members, the excavation community, community safety and consumer interest partners and leaders appointed by government. The Board’s main role is to govern OOC and set its strategic direction. Working to ensure OOC has financial sustainability, sound policy development, and proper visioning, the Board provides oversight to ensure staff are empowered to guide the organization.

Typically, members of the OOC Board of Directors serve for three-year terms and may be re-elected to serve up to two subsequent terms of three years each. New Directors serve for an initial one year term.

We currently have an opening for one representative leader from outside the excavation community to serve on the Board of Directors. The ideal candidate may come from an Underground Infrastructure Owner, Public Safety, Consumer Protection or other field not related to excavation within Ontario.

If currently employed, your employer must be supportive of the investment of time and interest that all OOC directors make, including attending board meetings (virtual and in person at the call of the Chair) scheduled throughout the year and participating in board committees and/or task forces (typically 10 meetings annually).
The nominee must have a combination of skills and experience that equip them to serve on the board. The Board is particularly looking to add members with information management (technology) and/or risk management experience.
To improve representation from across the province of Ontario, the ideal nominee would work/live in Northern Ontario.
