Surveys Act engagement

Stakeholders were invited to provide input into the modernization of the Surveys Act.

Overview

We gathered input from stakeholders on proposed amendments to the Surveys Act to address changes in survey methods and to reduce red tape. Portions of the act are outdated and do not reflect current process, practices or technologies used for modern surveying.

From 2019 through May 2021, Environment and Parks worked with the Alberta Land Surveyors’ Association (ALSA) to discuss ways to modernize the Surveys Act. Together, they identified numerous potential changes to reflect current practices, methods and expectations around roles.
