COVID-19 UPDATES
The ASPB has arranged to ensure that our staff can work away from the office, taking full advantage of telephone, video conferencing and of course email to stay connected with each other. The Registration committee is maintaining the regular review and meeting schedule (via teleconference) for new registrants and reclassifications. At this time our preferred method of contact is email; if you are unsure to whom you should direct your email please send it to info@aspb.ab.ca and it will be forwarded appropriately.
