We are pleased to invite RAIC members to a special Town Hall Meeting with Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC). This meeting focuses on discussing the updated procurement policy on official languages and contracting — PN-48R2. PSPC will provide a detailed overview of the policy, highlighting the proposed changes and guide you through how to navigate the new requirements.   

Attending this meeting will give you critical insights into the procurement policy, its rationale, and how it affects contracting and project delivery with the federal government. A 20-minute Q&A session will also follow the presentation, allowing you to directly ask PSPC officials questions.   

When: October 22, 2024   
Time: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT

The RAIC annual awards are a celebration of creativity, innovation, and excellence in Canadian architecture. The awards highlight work that challenges us and changes our built environment for the better, showing the value of architecture and its positive impact on our lives. If you know of a person, project, or practice that demonstrates these qualities, the RAIC annual awards are an opportunity for them to gain national recognition. 

Nominate your colleagues and peers for Fellowship and Honorary Fellowship at the RAIC. The College of Fellows formally recognizes members and distinguished laypersons who have made outstanding contributions to the profession in design, scholarship, or service to the profession or the community.

L'OEUF Architects is recognized for our ability to translate client needs into innovative sustainable design. Our holistic approach balances innovation, social equity, economics and collaborative process in our projects. These values have guided us for over 30 years, creating ideas that can change the world.

The best results come from projects that are inspired by and rooted in communities, from local to global. This multi-stakeholder process is why listening is at the heart of our work.

Our team of architects is diverse: many generations, many backgrounds, many cultures. We're all different, but united by a single passion: designing beautiful, sustainable places. We create meaningful projects for people of all backgrounds, generations and cultures. We design places in harmony with local ambient ecosystems, enhancing quality of life.

These are the commitments L'OEUF makes to all its clients, without exception: we listen to communities, we adhere firmly to shared values, and we work hard to create a better, more realistic future.
