AIBC Recognition Awards Nomination Deadline Extended to August 31

Two Weeks Left to Nominate Outstanding Contributors to Our Profession!

We all know that there are many dedicated candidates out there deserving recognition! The beautiful summer we have been enjoying may explain why we have not received any nominations for our annual AIBC Recognition Awards. As a result, the AIBC is extending the deadline for nominations to August 31, 2015.

Take this opportunity to recognize committed volunteers and other individuals who have made positive impacts to the profession of architecture, the community or the Institute.

Nominations for the following AIBC Recognition Awards will be accepted until August 31, 2015:

AIBC Lifetime Achievement Award

This prestigious award, established in 2013, is intended to recognize current or former B.C. architects who have made exceptional, sustained and significant contributions to the profession of architecture and its public appreciation in the province through an outstanding, career-long body of work. Consideration will be given to those with notable work across an entire career generally greater than 25 years and may be bestowed posthumously.

AIBC Special Certificate of Recognition

This award is intended to honor AIBC architects, other individual registrants or architectural firms who have made positive contributions to the practice or profession of architecture through volunteer activities.

The Barbara Dalrymple Memorial Award for Community Service

Established in honor of the late Barbara Dalrymple, a prominent Vancouver architect with a strong commitment to her profession and the community, this award recognizes contributions made by AIBC architects, individual registrants or architectural firms, in the spirit of Barbara’s dedication to positive change and her legacy of professional and public service.
