The Architectural Institute of British Columbia (AIBC) is officially under the authority of the Professional Governance Act (PGA) as of February 10, 2023. The Architects Act has been repealed, and the architectural profession is governed by the PGA and its regulations.

The AIBC encourages registrants to review the following regulatory authority materials, including the new Architects Regulation and AIBC Bylaws:

Professional Governance Act
The legislation that governs the profession of architecture in British Columbia.

Architects Regulation
The Architects Regulation addresses transitional items and elements that were previously in the Architects Act, including establishing the “reserved practice” for architects (formerly Section 60, or the ‘exceptions’), and reserved titles.
