At the present time Capital Region Assessment Services Commission has 5 qualified Assessment Review Board (ARB) Panelists. 10 Panelists are needed to effectively operate the ARB program. The time commitment is minimal, and the hearings are usually held from July to December. Panelists get paid for each hearing they attend plus expenses as per CRASC policy.  Nearly all hearings take place via virtual platform and usually last 2 to 3 hours.  

 

The Tribunal provides certification training for ARB members. This is required training pursuant to Matters Relating to Assessment Complaints Regulation (AR 310/2009) and Ministerial Order M:001/14.

 

After successful completion of the training program, the member will receive their ARB certification. ARB certification is valid for 3 years from the date the training program is completed. Certified members must complete a 'refresher' training program every 3 years to maintain their ARB certification. All courses are online. Participants are required to participate through video and audio during the session.

 

 

As of 2023 this course is delivered in 5, 3-hour online sessions. The morning sessions are 8:30 to 11:30 am and the afternoon sessions are 1 to 4 pm; this will likely for the same for 2024.
