As per the Municipal Government Act (MGA), it is mandatory for training to be taken before April 1, 2019
The MGA includes a requirement for SDAB members and clerks to undergo mandatory training based on a standard program 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. Training for SDAB members and clerks has been made available free of charge by Municipal Affairs, as has the SDAB training curriculum and supporting material. Although the Municipal Affairs training sessions are FULL, the below is a listing of SDAB training sessions that are being offered by the province, as well as current waitlist information.
