Eight projects and individuals have received a 2019 RAIC Award of Excellence from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC). The Awards reflect outstanding achievements in architecture through innovation, green building, allied arts, advocacy, and journalism.
?By sharing examples of the best current architecture with our peers and the public, the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) aims to contribute to an enriched and demanding dialogue about the buildings we make,? says RAIC President Michael Cox, FRAIC.

One of the five Awards of Excellence, the Green Building award, is presented in partnership with the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC).
?The CaGBC is committed to helping Canada reach its 2030 greenhouse-gas reduction commitments by supporting the building industry in achieving the most high-performing and low-carbon buildings possible,? said CaGBC President and CEO Thomas Mueller.  Given out every two years, the awards will be presented at the RAIC Festival of Architecture in Toronto from October 26 to 30, 2019.
