In its role to regulate the practice of architecture to protect the public interest, the OAA has been monitoring the development of Bill 17 since its introduction on May 12, 2025. The Association has identified some welcome changes and also shares concerns that have been voiced by members of the profession, others in the design/construction community, and the wider public.

Among the many changes that the legislation brings about, the OAA is particularly interested in those changes related to complete application rules as well as the proposed updates to the Building Code Act.
