Surveys Act engagement

Stakeholders shared input to inform modernization of the Surveys Act.

Overview

We gathered input from stakeholders on proposed amendments to the Surveys Act to reflect modern surveying methods and reduce red tape.

Forestry and Parks, formerly Environment and Parks, worked with the Alberta Land Surveyors’ Association (ALSA) to discuss ways to modernize the Surveys Act. Portions of the Act were outdated and no longer aligned with current processes, practices, or technologies used in modern surveying.
