Rise for Architecture is a national, volunteer-led committee of architects, educators, advocates, and organizations that regulate the architectural profession in Canada. Since 2016, it has been hosting conversations to learn what Canadians want and need in their communities. The goal is to empower the building sectors, educators, and governments to create inclusive, sustainable, and inspiring communities.

Earlier this month, it shared results from a poll it developed with Angus Reid Institute that suggests Canadians want more inclusive communities and improvements to accountability for creating them. The survey also found people are “widely supportive of new roles which would be responsible for encouraging better design outcomes, such as a Chief Architect or similar title,” in both their community (70 per cent) and province (56 per cent).

Until May 27, you can participate in Rise for Architecture’s new national survey. You can also follow the group on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
