The Association of Ontario Land Surveyors (AOLS) was established in 1892. It is a self-governing association, responsible for the licensing and governance of professional land surveyors, in accordance with the Surveyors Act. As with all self-governing professions, the AOLS has a responsibility to ensure that the public interest is paramount. The AOLS is governed by a Council, composed of nine Ontario Land Surveyors elected by the membership, the Surveyor General of Ontario, and three to five appointees, or lay members, who are not surveyors (one of which is a barrister and solicitor). The lay members are representatives of the public, appointed by the government to help ensure that the public interest is protected.
Stay connected with AOLS on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
