Task Forces

While the work of many of the task forces is complete, they remain available to investigate issues as they arise. The following task forces are still active and are involved in developing the changes to the Act based on the 13 guiding principles.

 

Interior Design Legislation Task Force

This is a newly formed task force. The goal of the task force is to identify and resolve legislation issues facing the entire interior design community in Alberta. Additionally, this task force is looking at the possibility of amalgamating Registered Interior Designers (RID) members of the Interior Designers of Alberta, with the Licensed Interior Designers (LID) already included in the AAA.

 

Practice Entities Task Force

This task force is looking at clarifications and modernization of different categories of allowable practice entities in Alberta. Additionally they are working to clarify the current language regarding stamps and seals within the Act, General Regulation and AAA Bylaws. Due to a recent application for a license with the AAA of a joint engineering and architecture firm, this task force will need to revisit the proposed changes to the legislation in terms of joint firms.

 

Title Scope, and Allied Professions

Discussions are underway with the Association of Science & Engineering Technology Professionals of Alberta (ASET) to establish membership categories within the AAA to include architectural technologists.  Additionally, discussions with Alberta Municipal Affairs are ongoing regarding proposed exclusions in the Alberta Building Code.

 

Complaints Task Force

This task force continues to be available to answer questions related to the complaint process of the AAA in terms of best practices of other self-regulating professions in Canada.
