Council may, upon application, confer retired membership in the Association upon any person who has been an Alberta Land Surveyor for at least one year.

A retired member is not eligible to engage in the practice of land surveying in Alberta.
 

Application

In order for the Alberta Land Surveyors' Association to accept an application for retired membership, the Council must be satisfied that the practitioner has no outstanding issues or concerns that may adversely affect the public.

The Council will also want to know where field notes will be kept and ensure the practitioner has arranged for appropriate professional liability insurance for past acts.

The practitioner will be asked for the effective date of their retired membership. Applications cannot be back-dated.

Fees and Deadlines

The application will be reviewed by the Council of the Alberta Land Surveyors' Association at the meeting following a completed application being received.

Annual fees are $100 plus GST and are due by April 30th each year. An invoice will be emailed no later than March 15th.

A person who applies for retired membership part-way through the year will not have their Alberta Land Surveyor fees pro-rated but will not be required to pay their retired member fees until the start of the following fiscal year.
 

Benefits

A retired member may attend any annual general meeting or special meeting of the Alberta Land Surveyors' Association and is entitled to propose or discuss any motion or resolution before the meeting and may vote on all matters except professional legislation.

A retired member may sit as a member on any non-statutory committee and cannot hold an elected office.
