Join us April 4 at the Westin Toronto Airport Hotel for OBOA's Annual Leadership Day. This event brings building officials together to engage in meaningful discussions, expand their knowledge, and address key industry issues. It provides a platform for networking, learning about updates in building codes and safety standards, and sharing best practices. This year, the Ontario Building Officials Association (OBOA) is partnering with the Ontario Large Municipalities Chief Building Officials (OLMCBO) to host the event, fostering collaboration among professionals across municipalities to tackle shared challenges and enhance the building profession.
Court of Appeal Update - Huether v. Sharpe Case:
Paul E.F. Martin of Loopstra Nixon LLP acted as a “friend of the Court” on behalf of the Ontario Building Officials Association and the Ontario Large Municipalities Chief Building Officials in the recent Court of Appeal case, Huether v Sharpe, 2025 ONCA 140. The decision reversed a lower court ruling that had imposed an indefinite and ongoing "duty to monitor" upon municipalities until and unless a permit file had been “closed” (a term that does not even exist in the relevant legislative scheme). The Court of Appeal’s decision alleviates the requirement that a municipality must unduly search historic building files to confirm that permits were in fact formally closed , that were treated as closed.
Paul will be presenting on this topic at Leadership Day held by the Ontario Building Officials Association on Friday April 4, 2025. If you have not registered, do so now before we sell out!
