OACETT Act

OACETT was incorporated in 1962 and then legislated under the Statutes of Ontario by the OACETT Act of 1984. The Act established OACETT as a self-governing body with right to title for its members. Later, the provincial legislature passed the OACETT Act of 1998, a revised act that includes a description of work for technicians and technologists.

• establishes regional boundaries
• lists rules for dues and fees and administration of the association
