OBOA (Ontario Building Officials Association)
Visit us at Booth 1648 to find out more about the OBOA
The Ontario Building Officials Association (OBOA) was established in 1956 and for over 50 years has played a leading role in the education, training and professional development of Ontario’s municipal building officials. On behalf of municipalities our 2000 members administer provincial laws and municipal by-laws relating to the construction of all types of buildings and structures. The Ontario Building Code Act states that the Code exists "to establish standards for public health and safety, fire protection, structural sufficiency, conservation, including, without limitation, energy and water conservation, and sustainability environmental integrity, and to accessibility requirements, with respect to buildings.
The OBOA maintained a partnership with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing which has allowed us to be in a position to advise and provide comment to the Ministry on pending legislation and their potential impacts on our members and municipalities. As well, we work with other Ministries such as Environment, and Community and Social Services by participating in working groups.
