The Tough Strategic Decisions
• How do we sustain and grow perception of the Association?
• Where do we have to dramatically improve our level of performance?
• Where do we have to significantly re-focus resources - away from? -
towards?
• What must we stop doing?
• What must we do in 2 or 3 years that
we cannot do today?
• How much risk are we willing to accept?

Key Elements of AOLS Strategy
AOLS mandate
The Association of Ontario Land Surveyors (AOLS) was established in
1892. It is a self-governing association, responsible for the
licensing and governance of professional land surveyors, in
accordance with the Surveyors Act. As with all self-governing
professions, the AOLS has a responsibility to ensure that the public
interest is paramount. Section 2(2) of the Surveyors Act states:
"The principal object of the Association is to regulate the practice of
professional land surveying and to govern its members and holders
of certificates of authorization in accordance with this Act, the
regulations and the by-laws in order that the public interest may be
served and protected."
Six Ways that We will be Different in 2016
1. Higher positive public awareness of the profession
2. More young people entering the profession
3. Higher membership engagement – association activities, CPD
4. Clear standards, with all members compliant
5. Frequent offenders dealt with, fewer substantive complaints
6. Updating Governing Legislation
a) Province–wide survey index system operational across Ontario
b) CPD requirements updated
c) SRD requirements updated
d) Other
Vision 2018
We are known in Ontario and Canada as a forward-looking, transparent and
Ethical association of professional surveyors protecting and Serving the
public interest for over 125 years, sustained by:
• Our highly engaged diverse membership, providing innovative products and
services in the field of professional surveying
• Maintaining and enforcing rigorous standards, including effective,
transparent peer review processes
• Understanding the needs of our membership and providing relevant
professional development, technical and business support and services
• Making a significant contribution to Ontario’s maintenance and use of
accurate cadastral information
• Our commitment to making our profession a compelling career and lifestyle
As a result, the Association and its members are valued for their
contribution to the social and economic development of the Province
Associated Objectives (2018)
1. Provincial Survey records Index system in place and being
populated
2. Membership level stable, and increased number of articling
students
3. Strong education partnerships in place with selected universities
and colleges
4. Total membership compliant with CPD and engaged in Association
activities
5. High member satisfaction ratings for association professional
activities
6. Reduced number of substantive complaints
Strategic Objectives for 2016
1. Creating a proper, valuable home for GIM members, or cut them
loose, future of C of R members
2. Define member composition moving forwards (discipline, technical
staff, articling students etc.)
3. Consultant led communication process to to increase market
awareness and supply of surveyors (all of it) – e.g. getting students in
4. Complete “sketches” issue with enforcement, needs teeth
5. Start process to modernize Surveyor’s Act and regulation
6. PSRI complete and functioning
7. Encourage PAC, GRLC and UCLC to continue their good work
8. CPD enhancements and audit
9. Continue to deal with constitutional challenge effectively
Marketing and Promotion
1. Identify the value of the OLS to the public
2. Work with municipalities a) Webinar through MPAC to provide them with information
3. Continue development ideas for website to implement in 2017
4. Pursue partnerships with universities and colleges
Legislation Changes
Initial ideas for changes:
1. PWSRI
2. Change CPD requirements
3. SRD – CofR review
4. Placement of retired members records
5. No coordinates on plans
6. Grandfather clause
7. What constitutes Field Notes
8. Voting by mail – should be able to do voting digitally
9. Administrative monetary penalties
10. Branding title – Geomatics Professional or Professional Surveyor
11. Boundary Arbitration process led by AOLS
Member Services
1. More aggressive policing of non surveyors giving opinions and reporting
on property boundaries being made available by technological
processes
2. Enhance CPD process – perhaps GeoEd
3. Enhance communication to members by more embracement of Social
media
4. AOLS Office Organization
5. AOLS Staff Succession
6. Embracing Technologists (ISTO)
Standards and Products
1. Develop products for client needs with standards
2. Enforce standards and eliminate non-compliance
Size / Composition of Membership: Priorities
1. Continue the work to change the demographics to ensure that we have
more young members
2. Encourage diversity in gender and ethnicity
3. Enhance relationship with universities
4. Alternative delivery methods for education – online or hybrid courses
5. Using report from Membership Task Force, Council to determine the
recommended future membership structure
Key Risks 2016
• Constitutional challenge absorbs resources and diverts focus away from strategy • Losing CofR members .. • In 5 years, 2/3 of government surveyors will be retired • Not pulling potential members from the complete population … ie. women • Insufficient students to keep the post secondary geomatics programs running • Under-funding, limited Resources to keep up with Game plan and unknowns • Failure to capture the graduates of the post-secondary programs, many are
going to other employers who are not part of our association, i.e. Optech, etc. • Fewer licensed surveyors places more reliance on technicians who are not
adequately supervised, making licensed surveyor obsolete • Not accessing the younger segment of potential future members by members
not making use of social media
