The AIBC continues to work on Professional Governance Act (PGA) transition activities, including creating resources, drafting bylaws that are compliant with PGA requirements, and working with the Office of the Superintendent of Professional Governance on the profession’s ‘reserved practice’. While the exact date of the transition is still being determined, registrants are reminded that the AIBC will not be fully transitioned to the PGA until the end of 2022 or early 2023. In the meantime, the draft Registration and Licensing bylaws are available to read on the website – architects and other registrants are invited to review and provide feedback to this initial suite of draft bylaws by emailing pga@aibc.ca.
