Skill, precision, and teamwork—our Associates brought it all to the Locate Rodeo!

At 4Sight Utility Engineers, we are proud to recognize our Associates for the many ways they contribute to advancing our industry. One recent highlight was the ORCGA Locate Rodeo, an annual event that showcases the skill, accuracy, and professionalism of utility locators from across Ontario.

We are thrilled to share that Jon Buisman earned 2nd place in the Gas Locating category. This outstanding accomplishment speaks to Jon’s technical expertise and the precision required in Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE).

We also applaud Ian Gillis, who competed again this year after earning 1st place in Water Locating at a previous Rodeo. Ian’s continued involvement underscores the strength and consistency of our field team.

Events like the Locate Rodeo don’t just celebrate competition—they highlight the importance of safe digging practices, industry collaboration, and professional growth. We are especially grateful to our colleagues Kelly Whitmore and Scott Schreiber, who generously volunteered their time to support the event’s success.

Our Guiding Principles come to life when our team steps up at events like the Locate Rodeo.

We believe in celebrating not only project milestones but also the professional achievements of our Associates. Participating in industry events like the ORCGA Locate Rodeo reflects our commitment to Serving our Associates, Serving our Clients, and Embracing an Innovative and Entrepreneurial Spirit—the Guiding Principles that drive us forward.

Congratulations once again to Jon, Ian, Kelly, and Scott—your efforts are an excellent example of 4Sight teamwork in action.

We are proud to offer a one-time-only $1,000 scholarship each year through the 4Sight LEAP Program (Learning, Education, and Achievement Pathways), supporting the graduating high school students of our full-time team members as they begin their post-secondary journeys.

The LEAP Program recognizes every eligible high school graduate, including children, stepchildren, and other dependents for whom the employee holds a parental or guardianship role. Now in its second year, this initiative is one of the ways we celebrate the personal milestones that matter to our team — and the people who matter most to them.

This year, we are thrilled to recognize Benny Guest, son of our Executive Assistant, Rebecca Guest. Benny will be attending George Brown College in Toronto this fall to study Graphic Design.

Our inaugural LEAP recipient, Isabelle Guest, Benny’s sister, recently completed her first year in Political Science at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.

We look forward to celebrating many more LEAP recipients in the years ahead.

Congratulations, Benny. We are all cheering you on!

We proudly accepted this honour at the ACEC-Ontario OEPA Gala for our project: “Strategic Application of Multi-Channel GPR in Utility Coordination and Beyond.” This achievement reflects the core values we were founded on, serving our associates, supporting our clients, and leading with innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit. Watch the Gala video here: SMALL FIRM BIG IMPACT – 4SIGHT UTILITY ENGINEERS – STRATEGIC APPLICATION OF MCGPR TECHNOLOGY on Vimeo

Delivered in collaboration with Jacobs and the City of Mississauga, this project showcases how smart technology and bold thinking, through multi-channel ground penetrating radar (MCGPR), can generate deeper insights, greater value, and measurable impact.  We’re proud to help raise the bar for Utility Engineering in Canada and even prouder of the incredible team who made it all possible!
