Training available for Subdivision and Development Appeal Boards (SDAB)

Recent changes of the MGA include a requirement for SDAB members and clerks to undergo mandatory training based on a standard program to be approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs.  SDAB training will ensure that hearing practices are consistent across the province, and board members have a comprehensive understanding of their role and the appeal process.

The below is a listing of SDAB training sessions that are being offered by the province.  Municipal Affairs has developed a brochure with information on registration for each of the locations.
