  • to act as the official spokesperson for basketball officials within the province on any and all provincial matters pertaining to basketball officiating.
  • to promote a standard interpretation of the rules and utilization of mechanics by means of clinics, published information, audiovisual aids, and the interchange of officials.
  • to ensure that members are free from discrimination, interference, restriction, coercion, harassment, intimidation or disciplinary action exercised or practiced by a member or Local Board, by reason of race, colour, age, national or ethnic origin, political or religious affiliation, handicap, sex or sexual orientation.
