After cancelling its 2020 conference and holding two years of virtual meetings and events in response to COVID-19, the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) is getting ready for an in-person three day conference in May, which will also be online.

A busy program will mark the Inspiring Climate Action Conference, including its Celebration of Excellence May 12 at the Toronto Event Centre where the OAA will officially recognize the eight project recipients of its 2022 Design Excellence Awards.

The awards are offered biennially and the 2022 list includes projects ranging from a performing hall in Texas to a library in the small Ontario town of Stayner.
