In honour of National Indigenous History Month, the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) is proud to announce an extension of our collaboration with NVision Insight Group to offer an online Indigenous cultural awareness training program for the Architecture community.

Since launching the course in 2021, hundreds of architecture professionals and firms have made the commitment to enhance their Indigenous cultural awareness and joined us on The Path. We are also proud to announce that starting June 1, 2022, the RAIC will contribute a portion of each course registration to the Indian Residential School Survivor Society, an organization that provides essential services to Residential School Survivors, their families, and those dealing with Intergenerational traumas.

The RAIC Congress on Architecture Week 2022 is a series of activities and events that bring together professionals for celebrations and discourses on architecture.   
It is a week that honours exceptional achievements and dedication to architecture while acting as a forum for important discussions on climate action, social justice, equality, and diversity in the profession.

Thriving Forests & Regenerative Built Environments -The first event of its kind hosted by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) and Pilot Projects Collaborative (Wood at Work).

This September, join us at this important symposium that will engage participants on multi-disciplinary questions surrounding relationships between forest legacies past and future, and the design, construction, and stewardship of our built environments.

A series of participants will discuss topics such as Indigenous perspectives on sustainable forestry, the carbon sequestration potential of Canadian forests and wood products, community perspectives on regenerative built environments, and the roles that architects can play in integrating these considerations into their practices.

As a world leader in innovative Smart Concrete® technologies, Kryton International Inc. supplies over 50 countries with sustainable concrete that automatically responds to its environment.

It’s made possible using solutions such as Kryton’s award-winning admixtures Krystol Internal Membrane™ (KIM®) and Hard-Cem®. With KIM, architects get a VOC-free, LEED-contributing waterproofing admixture that enables concrete to continuously block water infiltration without the need for petroleum-based membranes. And with Hard-Cem and its supporting environmental product declaration, architects know they can double their concrete’s abrasion resistance while reducing as much as 40% of their project’s lifetime carbon footprint. Both admixtures can be used together or separately as needed, allowing architects to preserve their vision for a project in a safe, green way.

To support these green options and more for over 45 years, Kryton has advocated for better building solutions in organizations such as Construction Specifications Canada, the Vancouver Regional Construction Association, the British Columbia Building Envelope Council, and Concrete BC.
