Notification of Extraordinary Action to Protect the Public
On September 10, 2026, an Extraordinary Action Panel of the AIBC’s Discipline Committee (the “Panel”) made an order, pursuant to section 67 of the Professional Governance Act, that Andrew Baziuk Architect AIBC be suspended from practising the profession of architecture.
The Panel was satisfied there was prima facie evidence of alleged misconduct necessitating an interim order to protect the public considering the seriousness of the allegations, the nature of the evidence, and the likelihood of the alleged conduct being repeated if an order was not imposed. The Panel ordered that Mr. Baziuk’s registration is suspended pending the conclusion of the investigation of two Complaints and the conclusion of any discipline proceedings which may arise from those investigations.
Important Note: This order relates to matters that are unproven, until admitted by the Registrant or determined by the AIBC’s Discipline Committee.
