Ontario Building Officials Association (OBOA) has been awarded a substantial grant of $965,500 from the Ontario Ministry of Labour through the Skills Development Fund (SDF). This funding will support our ongoing efforts to enhance training and professional development for building officials across Ontario.
With the ongoing workforce shortage issues our municipalities face, our goal is to increase the number of trained building officials and to attract more individuals to a career as a building official across the province by increasing outreach, enhancing partnerships, and providing innovative training to all groups. With the introduction of the 2024 Ontario Building Code there is a need to update and up-skill both new and existing building officials within the province. These training courses along with a Roadshow, Leadership Day, and our Annual Meeting and Training Sessions will give the opportunity for training and potentially bring more certified building officials to Ontario.
