A. The Local Architectural Societies are the grass roots of the OAA. Located in 14 communities across Ontario, societies provide a venue for dialogue between local architects, a support network for professional advice, social interaction among the architectural community and opportunities for leadership, continuing education and community outreach.
The OAA accepts payments on behalf of Societies up until April 1, when the list of members who have paid their annual Society dues for the year are distributed to the individual societies. After April 1, individuals wishing to join a Society should contact it directly and arrange a payment.
If you have joined a Local Society and have not received any information from it, you should contact the OAA Finance Department at
oaafees@oaa.on.ca to investigate this for you.
