For over a decade these stakeholder groups have been active in promoting "Call Before You Dig" and other good damage prevention practices through smaller separate entities which have come together and amalgamated under the ORCGA name to provide a single voice representing the damage prevention community in the province. The ORCGA has been a regional chapter of the Common Ground Alliance based in Alexandria, VA since April 2003.
