OnMAG is a not-for-profit Membership Group open to utilities across Ontario. Its purpose is to deliver assistance to members in time of crisis.
Why OnMAG?
OnMAG helps that community keep the lights on.Member led and managed by Electricity Canada, this program is a single point of contact for utilities to request and offer assistance resources.
How does it work?
When an OnMAG member requests aid through the Hotline, an alert is issued inviting all members to coordinate a group response.
