Special Notice for Fibre Optic Cables

If you're digging within 2 metres (6.56 feet) of fibre optic cables, you need to have Fibre Watch onsite. Please give us at least 48 hours' notice to schedule this, or call 204-717-2811 for assistance.

Important Tips

Plan Ahead

Requests for buried cable locates should be made at least 7 working days before you dig. During busy seasons (April to October), we recommend allowing up to 2 weeks for scheduling.

Wait for Clearance

Don’t start digging until you receive confirmation from Westman Communications Group that it’s safe to proceed.

We Only Locate Our Facilities
