The Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) is a self-regulating body governed by the Architects Act, which is a statute of the Government of Ontario. The OAA is dedicated to promoting and increasing the knowledge, skill and proficiency of its members, and administering the Architects Act, in order that the public interest may be served and protected.
The NSoA’s volunteer membership meets regularly to exchange ideas and to promote their profession. As a public service, the members work to broaden the appreciation of architecture, urban design, the building process and the related arts. The NSoA hosts many public education events that, through the participation of their practicing members, offer a strong knowledge base about current architectural theory and practice, as well as providing independent opinion about issues that affect our local and global environments. Many members take particular interest in studying and informing others on various topics and/ or case studies of our built heritage found here within the Niagara Region.
