Practice Review
Practice Review Department
The Practice Review Department of the Association of Canada Lands Surveyors (ACLS) plays a key role in ensuring that surveyors uphold the highest professional standards when working on Canada Lands. As part of our mandate to protect the public interest, the Practice Review Program monitors and supports the professional practice of all licensed Canada Lands Surveyors.
What We Do
The primary goal of the Practice Review Department is to maintain confidence in the profession by promoting consistent, high-quality surveying practices. Through regular reviews and constructive feedback, we help members strengthen their professional knowledge and improve the quality of their work.
