History

The Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) was established in 1976 by agreement of the Registration Authorities and Councils of nine provincial institutes/associations to assess and certify the academic qualifications of individuals holding a professional degree/diploma in architecture who intended to apply for registration. The Order of Architects of Quebec joined the CACB in 1991. CACB's mandate was revised in 1991 to include the responsibility for accrediting professional degree programmes in Canadian university schools of architecture.
