OBOA

	Leadership Day 2025 “EMPOWERING BUILDING OFFICIALS, STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES” This year, the Ontario Building Officials Association (OBOA) is proud to once again collaborate with the Ontario Large Municipalities Chief Building Officials (OLMCBO) to host the event. This partnership further strengthens the event's value, bringing together a diverse group of professionals from municipalities across the province to exchange ideas, discuss common challenges, and work towards solutions that benefit both building professionals and the public they serve. By coming together in this collaborative environment, attendees will be better equipped to address the evolving needs of the building industry and the municipalities they represent.
