Weekend cottage projects often start with a shovel.

Whether you are building a fire pit area, installing a new shed, adding pathway lighting, or putting in dock supports, digging without a locate can put underground infrastructure at risk.

Rural and seasonal properties can still have buried hydro, gas, and communication lines.

Before starting your next cottage project, request a free locate.

Last week we had the opportunity to attend the Bay Area Economic Summit, hosted by the @burlingtoncofc, @BurlingtonEcDev, @hamiltonchamber and Hamilton Economic Development.

Our EVP, Corporate & Chief People Officer, Jennifer Smith, introduced a panel featuring Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward, Hamilton Councillor Tammy Hwang, and Anita Cassidy from Burlington Economic Development + Tourism. The discussion focused on how governments can enable responsible AI adoption by fostering innovation, building strong public–private partnerships, and establishing clear, trust-driven frameworks that benefit all segments of the community.

At Burlington Hydro, we don’t just operate in Burlington—we’re committed to powering its long-term success.
