RAIC Emerging Practitioners will offer two webinars on the National Building Code of Canada on September 30 and October 14. These courses are designed to bridge the path between architectural education and practice; providing practical knowledge and experience aligned with the Internship in Architecture program’s requirements.

There have been many changes to the RAIC Syllabus program in the past year, such as new leadership, program requirements, and policies. A notice was recently sent to Syllabus students to bring them up to speed on the evolution of the program.

Entries are now open for the 2018 RIBA International Prize.

The RIBA International Prize is open to any qualified architect. To enter a building outside the UK, the project director must:

• be a qualified architect

• have completed the building, which must have been occupied (partially-occupied commercial and housing projects subject to RIBA approval) between 1 January 2014 and 1 October 2017

• have the client's permission to submit the building
