Recently, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing embarked on a project to examine opportunities to enhance the ministry’s Qualification Program following concerns raised by building practitioners during previous stakeholder engagement sessions. To help determine a path forward, the ministry developed a Discussion Paper to obtain views on what these enhancements could potentially look like for building practitioners, both in the near term, as operational changes within the current program, and the future, as design changes for a new program.
The OBOA was asked to provide input on this Discussion Paper, and sent out a survey to all OBOA members to gain their insight. This report is the result of member’s input along with the OBOA Board of Directors. It was submitted to MMAH on February 17th, 2023.
