Who we are
The Hamilton/Burlington Society of Architects (HBSA) is a local chapter of the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA), providing communication, public relations and professional development for its members.
The HBSA is managed by an Executive Committee consisting of 5 positions: a Chair, a Vice-Chair, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and the Past Chair. These positions are filled by way of elections held at the Annual Meeting of the HBSA.
Members can look to the HBSA as a resource for practice and technical information. In addition, the HBSA shall provide a central focal point for professional development, education, community and social activities – ensuring these activities are accessible to members.
What we do
The HBSA is actively involved in establishing programs designed to enhance the general public’s understanding of architecture and the profession of architecture. By organizing events that deal with local issues, the HBSA can present factual demonstrations illustrating how the profession of architecture can contribute to the local community.
