1988 - Delayed Posting

 

    On June 9, 1988, a new Surveys Act came into force. The most significant amendment to the Act was Section 43, which allowed a surveyor to submit a plan for registration without placing monuments for one year from its registration or within a longer period of time as specified by the Director of Surveys. The other significant change to the Surveys Act was that all lot corners were required to be monumented. This created the same situation as existed prior to February 16, 1912. Between February 16, 1912, and June 9, 1988, posting was required only for block outlines, deflections and those lot corners falling on a curvilinear block boundary.

On June 22, 1988, the Association signed an agreement with the Government of Alberta giving the Association the sole right to sell iron posts and marker posts. This agreement, along with a grant of $100,000, allowed the Association to establish the Professional Audit Branch. Bill Wolley-Dod, ALS was appointed the first Inspector of Surveys.
