Twice a year, the OAA’s Public Awareness Sponsorship program distributes funding to help applicants carry out projects or events that fulfil the Architects Act’s object of “promoting public appreciation of architecture and the allied arts and sciences.”

The Association’s Communications Committee agreed to fund the following initiatives:

• 1Up’s Architecture Office Tours;
• Architecture for Everyone program for high-school students in Ajax, Ont.;
• Heritage Toronto’s “Capturing Toronto’s Architecture” walking tour;
• the Laneway Project’s Laneway Park-ing;
• Muslims in Public Spaces’ Architecture and Public Spaces;
• Moses Structural Engineers’ TimberFever Design-Build Competition;
• Built Environment Open Forum’s “Writing Architecture” forthcoming webinar series; and
• Waterloo Architecture’s Projects Review and Alumni Speaker Series.

The second and final deadline for this program is July 25. For more information, read the first tab on this OAA Website page.
