The Alberta Association of Architects (AAA) is the regulatory body responsible for registering and licensing all architects and interior designers legally entitled to practice in the Province of Alberta in Canada.
They are sometimes involved in legal discussion between Alberta and individual architects regarding their conduct.
[4] AAA opened to women in 1925 when Esther Hill, Canada's first female architect was admitted after being denied in 1921.
Nearly fifty years later, Freda O’Conner became AAA's first female president and the first among any Canadian architects' association.
[2][5][6][7][8] In 2020, AAA expanded their remit with the Experienced Interior Designers Pathway, a temporary program meant to expedite licensure for interior designers, which built on their 1982 inclusion.
