Description

The seminar, hosted as a joint initiative between the Medicine Hat Construction Association and Medicine Hat & District Chamber of Commerce, will provide current information on construction adjudication, introduced to Alberta in August 2022 under the Prompt Payment and Construction Lien Act (PPCLA) and the Prompt Payment and Adjudication Regulation (the Regulation).

The focus will be to enhance awareness on some procedural fundamentals, the benefits of using adjudication, the operations of ARCANA (AB) (currently Alberta’s only appointed nominating authority), and some suggestions regarding possible amendments of the PPCLA and its regulations. 

The speakers will be individuals who have been involved in the drafting of the PPCLA and Regulation, have delivered adjudications or have been extensively involved in the operations of ARCANA (AB). 

Who Should Attend 

Owners, General Contractors, Designers, Trade Contractors, Engineers and Municipalities

Service Alberta has requested that ARCANA (AB) undertake a proactive marketing awareness campaign to enlighten all industry stakeholders, on the benefits and functioning of adjudication – a proven method of settling construction disputes in a timely and cost-effective manner as prescribed under the PPCLA and Adjudication Regulation. Organizations seeking informative 60-90-minute workshop content or presentations for their membership include the Society of Construction Law & the Electrical Contractors Association of Alberta.
