Chapter History
With the launch of the RAIC Nova Scotia Chapter in January 2020, planning began to form networks across the province. A small steering committee, led by former NS Chapter Chair Ron LeLievre, B.Arch, NSAA (Retired), FRAIC, worked to lay a foundation to activate community networks—including meeting with leaders of the NSAA chapters South Shore, Annapolis Valley, and Cape Breton Island.
There was strongly expressed interest in working collaboratively, cooperatively, and to join forces to focus on activities that matter to the profession. Activities discussed include professional development, sharing best practices, advocacy, engaging youth, diversity, and public awareness amongst others. Since then, three RAIC Networks have been formed in the Chapter, including Halifax, South Shore and Annapolis Valley.
The networks are recruiting participation from local architects. Please email interest to ns@raic.org for more information.
RAIC Connects
RAIC Connects is a virtual community where members can share ideas, discuss practice challenges, post questions, read and share blog posts and news articles, learn about fellow RAIC members, and benefit from shared knowledge, resources, and information. All RAIC members are automatically members of RAIC Connects, as well as their provincial Chapter community, as a member benefit.
