Natural boundaries, 2. Original monuments, 3. Evidence of possession/occupation, 4. Measurements (bearings and distances).The "Footsteps" Principle: Re-establishing a boundary is a search for original intent, not an exercise in modern mathematical perfection.Natural Boundaries: Assessing the "visible high water mark" and reconciling it with historical plan evidence.Monumental Integrity: Determining if a found marker is "undisturbed" and evaluating the reliability of collateral evidence like old fence lines or tree blazes.Infographic:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uoQZI5BTg2HrEJo1EkFqA0U-ycfEl06Q/view?usp=drive_link

In this episode of Storman Norman Presents, we break down the bedrock of land ownership and registration in British Columbia: the Land Title Act (LTA).This massive statute governs how land is described, subdivided, and transferred.We focus specifically on the sections that empower land surveyors, from the technical requirements of statutory plans to the complexities of Air Space Titles and the critical role of the Surveyor General.Part 7 – Descriptions and Plans (Sections 58–120):The Registrar's Power: The Registrar has the authority to require a new survey or a "Reference Plan" if an existing description of land is deemed insufficient for registration.Explanatory Plans (Section 70): These are only acceptable to the Surveyor General under specific conditions, such as when a full survey isn't practical or the boundaries are already sufficiently defined.Statutory Right of Way (Section 113): Detail the unique requirements for these plans, which are used for utilities and public works and have specific status under the Act.Part 9 – Air Space Titles (Sections 138–143):Three-Dimensional Containment: Air space parcels must be defined by planes or surfaces and be completely contained within the parent parcel.Mandatory Vertical Datum: All Air Space Plans must show the "Geodetic Elevation" of every corner and boundary, referenced to the official vertical datum (CGVD28).Part 24 – Surveys and Plans (Sections 385–393):Statutory Obligations: This part outlines the technical standards for plan preparation and the electronic filing rules that every BCLS must follow.Surveyor General & Registrar Roles:Be prepared for exam questions regarding where the Surveyor General’s approval is required (e.g., Block Outline postings under Section 69 or Explanatory Plans under Section 70) versus the Registrar’s discretion in accepting documents for the register.Infographic:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jB8sg9ch88v-on4XFgxsvqiqexPvgkEl/view?usp=drive_linkSource:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T7c8POkUB6V1R8pEaOqN3s9u9CGZWBZk/view?usp=drive_link

In this episode of Storman Norman Presents, we break down the legislative engine behind one of the most common development types in British Columbia: the Strata Property Act.We focus on the surveyor’s pivotal role in defining the horizontal and vertical limits of ownership, the technical nuances of phased developments, and the high stakes of certifying previously occupied buildings.Delineation of Boundaries (Section 244):The strata plan must show a "heavy outline" for the perimeter of the land and must clearly distinguish between strata lots and common property.Exam Note: Nothing outside the parent parcel can be designated as a strata lot or common property.The Certification Process (Sections 241 & 242):New Construction: Requires a surveyor to certify that the building has not been previously occupied (Form S).Conversions: Requires approval from the municipal council or regional district (Form T) if the building was previously occupied.Phased Strata Developments (Sections 221–225):A developer must file a "Phased Strata Plan Declaration" (Form P) with the first phase.Surveyor’s Duty: Each phase must be a separate strata plan and must be integrated into the existing strata corporation upon registration.Limited Common Property (LCP):LCP must be designated on the plan and measured by the land surveyor. It is not defined by the physical improvements (like a patio), but by the dimensions shown on the plan.Infographic:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dGCceJWJqFNIIjV7MIVqwZeYktdbsiG9/view?usp=drive_linkSource:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SevHmKBka_Iihlr_FPXJwS8Wnh04F1KU/view?usp=drive_link

In this episode of Storman Norman Presents, we break down the legislation that defines and regulates our profession: the Land Surveyors Act.We explore the legal "fence" around the practice of land surveying, the governance structure of the ABCLS, and the high-stakes disciplinary process that ensures public protection.Understanding this Act is the foundation of professional responsibility for every LST and commissioned surveyor in BC.Definition of Practice (Section 1):The Scope: The "practice of land surveying" includes the measurement of land or airspace to determine, define, or re-establish boundaries, and any advice or reporting related to those activities.Certification: It specifically covers the determination of features relative to a boundary for the purpose of certifying their location in writing.Professional Discipline (Sections 56–60):The Inquiry: The board or a committee can investigate a member for "unprofessional conduct," "incompetence," or "misconduct in the performance of their duties".Penalties: If found guilty, penalties can range from a formal reprimand and fines to the suspension or permanent cancellation of a member's commission.Rule-Making Authority (Section 75):The Mandate: The Association has the power to make rules for surveys and plans, including those in electronic format, for various provincial acts (Land Act, Land Title Act, etc.).Surveyor General Oversight: Crucially, these rules do not have effect until they are approved by the Surveyor General.Unauthorized Practice (Section 45):Legal Protections: Only a practising land surveyor in good standing may engage in the practice of land surveying. Any unauthorized person doing so is guilty of an offence and liable to a fine.Infographic:https://drive.google.com/file/d/13SvKcj6iBrEaiobl0IyYxAeK1xSTVZkj/view?usp=drive_linkSource: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GcKhD3EfZDkTtNf7b6SvVV7g7It67dWO/view?usp=drive_link

In this episode of Storman Norman Presents, we explore the statutory framework for the administration and disposition of Crown land in British Columbia: the Land Act. This legislation is the primary authority for how the province manages its vast land resources.We dive into the specific powers of the Surveyor General regarding Crown land surveys, the legal definition of natural boundaries, and the critical processes for confirming and correcting the cadastral record on behalf of the Crown.Natural Boundaries (Section 18):Statutory Definition: The Act defines the "natural boundary" as the visible high water mark of any lake, river, stream, or other body of water.Title Restrictions: Unless specifically authorized, no person is entitled to a grant of land below the natural boundary. This is a frequent exam topic regarding the limits of Crown grants and the ambulatory nature of water boundaries.Part 7 – Surveys (Sections 72–73):Survey Authority: All surveys of Crown land must be performed by a British Columbia Land Surveyor and must comply with the specific instructions provided by the Surveyor General.Confirmation of Survey: A survey is not considered official until the plan has been confirmed by the signature of the Surveyor General. This differs from the Land Title Act, where the Registrar has primary authority over plan acceptance.Part 8 – Cancellations and Re-surveys (Section 81):Correction of Errors: If the Surveyor General finds that a survey is incorrect or has been made in a manner that would lead to confusion, they have the statutory power to cancel the plan and order a re-survey.Roads and Trails (Section 13):Crown Ownership: Except where otherwise provided, all roads, trails, and streets on Crown land are the property of the Crown and are excluded from any disposition unless otherwise specified.Dispositions (Section 11):Ministerial Power: The Minister has the broad authority to dispose of Crown land via grant, lease, license, or permit. Surveyors are essential in accurately defining these areas before a disposition can be finalized.Infographic:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Qm3NiqZbvgIiSCd9jujk_FtJ9mq541-B/view?usp=drive_linkSource:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JTRWCmw5xIMOHP7Hs09_IFa_FJjIHuhn/view?usp=drive_link

In Episode 5 (1860–1867), we examine how political deadlock, economic upheaval, and strategic uncertainty pushed British North America toward Confederation.The Crisis: We explore the internal deadlock in the Province of Canada and the external pressures from the American Civil War and British military withdrawal.The Conferences: From Charlottetown to Quebec and London, we track how a federal union gained traction over other options like a Maritime Union.The Deal: We analyze the BNA Act (1867)—who joined (Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick), who stayed out (PEI, Newfoundland), and the balance of federal powers.The Exclusion: Crucially, we discuss the exclusion of Indigenous nations and Métis communities from these talks, marking the beginning of a new era of challenge despite existing treaties.🗺️ VISUAL COMPANION:History happens on a map.
