The Director of Surveys is a land surveyor designated by the Minister of Alberta Environment and Parks to administer the Surveys Act.
Under the Surveys Act, the Director of Surveys coordinates the establishment, maintenance and preservation of the provincial land survey system and also provides and maintains the provincial spatial referencing system. This system is a coordinate-based system used to locate geographical entities.
The Director of Surveys uses two programs to help administer the Surveys Act. They are the Land Surveys and Geodetic Control units. Both of these groups offer products and services related to surveying in Alberta. They also provide important policy updates.
