AIBC-registered architects, architectural technologists and intern architects are reminded that the AIBC Mandatory Continuing Education System (CES) 2022–2024 reporting period deadline is less than a month away, on Sunday, June 30, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
The requirement to comply with the CES is outlined in AIBC Bylaw 5.10. CES Participants who do not earn and report the minimum required Learning Units (LUs) will be subject to the non-compliance process outlined in AIBC Bylaws 5.14–5.24.
Indigenous Peoples Learning (NEW REQUIREMENT)
Beginning this reporting period, two Core LUs related to knowledge on Indigenous history, Truth and Reconciliation, and/or engagement (‘Indigenous Peoples Learning’) must be earned and reported each reporting period. Resources are available to assist CES Participants understand and meet this new requirement, including a Frequently Asked Questions PDF and Indigenous Peoples Learning Resources document. This requirement applies to all CES Participants, including those who choose to fulfill their requirements through the Canadian reciprocity option.
