Based in British Columbia, the Association of Professional Biology works to advance the application, practice and understanding of applied biology and the work of professional biologists across Canada. Our practicing members are in good standing with organizations, such as the College of Applied Biologists in BC and the Alberta Society of Professional Biologists that are governed by provincial legislation (e.g., the Professional Governance Act).
