Representing the infrastructure interests of municipalities through advocacy, consultation, training, events and service delivery. Welcome to Good Roads.

For 128 years, the Ontario Good Roads Association – now
simply “Good Roads” – has been dedicated to improving
municipal roads and associated infrastructure in Ontario. Today, Good Roads has more than 450 municipal and First
Nations members. We exist to connect our members to each other, to other levels
of government, to academia and to relevant private sector
interests. We provide our members with training, knowledge, political
advocacy, and solutions to their most pressing problems. This
work is important because the management of roads and
transportation are changing faster than ever.

A successful HDD project starts long before the pullback.

Horizontal Directional Drilling can install underground infrastructure while minimizing surface disruption, but project success depends on understanding the process, equipment and conditions below ground.

Good Roads' Fundamentals of Horizontal Directional Drilling course examines the essential stages of HDD projects, from feasibility assessments and subsurface investigations to equipment, drilling fluids, bore paths and plan review.

Designed for engineers, inspectors and municipal staff overseeing underground infrastructure, this one-day course helps participants build the technical knowledge needed to assess plans, evaluate constructability and monitor project conformance.

Join us November 12 in Oakville to build your understanding of HDD project planning and ex*****on.

Know what your contract requires—and how to respond when things go wrong.

Municipal contracts come with legal obligations, performance expectations and potential risks. When questions arise about substandard work, liability or contractual responsibilities, understanding the principles behind the agreement matters.

Good Roads' Introduction to Contract Law gives municipal professionals a practical grounding in contract formation, interpretation and administration. Through case studies, discussions and group exercises, participants examine real-world issues involving contractor relationships, performance problems, claims and dispute resolution.

Designed for municipal professionals looking to build their contract administration knowledge, this one-day workshop takes place November 16 in Oakville.
