The RAIC is proud to announce the launch of the Climate Action Plan (CAP) – A Framework for Engagement and Enablement. Developed through two years of national engagement and collaboration, the CAP offers a bold, practical roadmap for accelerating climate action in architecture. 

The CAP focuses on four priorities: 

• Accelerating the transformation of practice 

• Advocating boldly to create pathways for change 

• Mobilizing partnerships and collaborative action 

• Investing in education and research 

What do you need from your professional association? The RAIC just launched its Community Survey, seeking input from both members and non-members across the architectural, engineering, and construction sectors. Results will directly inform the reinvigoration of RAIC's membership model, after thorough validation and reporting. The survey takes less than five minutes to complete and will remain open until September 15. Participants will be entered to win one of five $100 gift cards, one of five 2026 RAIC Conference day passes, or a grand prize of one All-Access conference pass. 

The RAIC sincerely thanks all the attendees, sponsors and exhibitors who made the 2025 RAIC Conference on Architecture a resounding success. We were proud to host the architectural community from across Canada and abroad for four days of learning, networking and fun. Here are some highlights from this year’s conference: 

• Highest number of sponsors and exhibitors to date 
  
  
• Local advisory committee that worked alongside us throughout the year 

• Representation from AIA, RIBA, UIA and NZIA leadership – cementing our relationships with key international partners 

• Seventeen fully sold-out architectural tours  

• Simultaneous English/French interpretation at all educational sessions and keynote events 

We look forward to hosting the community again next year at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre from May 5-8 for the 2026 RAIC Conference!
