Message from
the President
Darwin Kanius, AAAS, MAAS, CAE

As a result of the on-going work with Municipal Affairs regarding the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) and the North West Partnership (NWP), the SAAA is currently undergoing a complete review of its Regulations. The government is committed to implement legislative changes to all professions acts to ensure compliance with AIT and NWP. The current review can be used by the SAAA to modify its professional educational criteria to ensure that its requirements for accreditation and licensing are pertinent, current and meet the demands of the profession.

In addition, this initiative by our governments creates opportunity for similar professional associations across Canada to enter into professional accreditation reciprocity agreements. Maintaining an educational equilibrium with our sister organizations not only facilitates reciprocity agreements but it also ensures that our public will be protected in conjunction with widely recognized standards.
