Regulatory Notices (RNs) inform members and the public of the expected professional obligations of OAA members within specific circumstances. They are distinct from other OAA resources like Practice Tips, Guidelines, and Advisories because their content is specific to the regulatory framework for certain aspects of the practice of architecture, and the applicable professional obligations that arise from the legislation and regulations.

Newly updated Regulatory Notices are now publicly available in the OAA Website’s Practice Advisory Knowledge Base under the Resources menu.

Last year, the OAA reviewed various documents in order to update them accordingly. The goal was to ensure the Association continues to act within its statutory authority, as outlined in the Strategic Plan. Within this context, all existing RNs were examined to ensure accordance with the Act and regulations. Some of the updates are housekeeping-related, but others required more extensive work to focus and ground the information in professional obligations rather than content outside the OAA’s jurisdiction.
