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 under the Architects Act, a public statute. To be licensed as an architect, an indi- vidual must possess the appropriate degree in architectural studies, complete a minimum of three years practical experience, pass extensive examinations, and attend the OAA Admission Course. Only individuals licensed by the OAA may legally PHOTO: STEVEN EVANS STEVEN PHOTO: use the title “Architect.” 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.
