Ontario Association of Architects
THE ONTARIO ASSOCIATION OF ARCHITECTS is a self-regulating organ-
ization governed by the Architects Act, which is a statute of the Government of
Ontario. The Association is dedicated to promoting and increasing the knowledge,
skill and profi ciency of its members, and administering the Architects Act, in order
that the public interest may be served and protected. Membership includes 2,500
licensed architects, 1,200 intern architects, and 750 associates (honorary, life,
retired, and student associates). There are 1,325 architectural practices in Ontario.
Ontario architects are highly trained professionals bound by regulations made

In Ontario, the Architects Act set out the types and sizes of buildings which
must be designed by an architect. All architects offering or providing services
to the public have a “Certifi cate of Practice” issued by the OAA and carry profes-
sional liability insurance.
