About The Alliance of Canadian Building Officials’ Associations
The Alliance of Canadian Building Officials Associations (ACBOA) was originally founded in 1975 to provide Building Officials with an organization dedicated to developing nationally recognized education and certification standards and programs. This, in turn, would provide a consistent and uniform understanding of code across Canada and enhance the level of professional recognition of Building Officials. The ACBOA membership currently consists of representation from 10 Provincial, Territorial and First Nation Building Official Associations and the National Government.
The Alliance of Canadian Building Officials Associations (ACBOA) was previously:
- Canadian Building Officials Association (as of July 8, 1975)
- Council of Canadian Building Officials Associations (as of October 14, 1986)
- Alliance of Canadian Building Officials’ Associations (as of June 7, 2002)
ACBOA’s Strategy Statement:
ACBOA will develop the organizational structure and operational plans to position itself as a leading national partner and driving force with an emphasis on professional-level training of Building Officials, standardized competency-based certification processes for Building Officials, and recognition of qualification equivalency for Building Codes Administration in every Province and Territory across Canada.
