Sponsorship & Advertising

Under its five-year strategic plan, the OAA has identified public education as a key pillar with the goal to advance the public’s understanding and recognition that architecture is integral to the quality of life and well-being of our society.

The OAA offers Public Awareness Funding in amounts from $500 to $10,000 to applicants working to expand an awareness of the value of architecture in their communities. OAA funds are provided with minimal prescriptions with the trust that community groups know best how to engage and serve their communities.

Funds are released semi-annually, with the 2025 submission deadlines set as Monday, March 17 and Monday, September 15.

Learn more about the program and complete the submission form here.

There are numerous sponsorship opportunities available for the annual OAA Conference held in May each year. This is a chance to support the profession and take advantage of exclusive high-profile, face-to-face interaction with members during the days of the event. It is held in Toronto on "even" years (2022, 2024, 2026) and in other locations on “odd” years (2021, 2023, 2025).

 

If you have an event that you would like to advertise to architects and is related to the business or practice architecture, please send your event information to Tamara King, Administrator, Website & Communications, at tamarak@oaa.on.ca.

Please provide the pertinent information (title, date, time, location, description, benefit, cost, host, sponsors) as well as a link, or contact, for more information. Examples of events include: tradeshows, conferences, lectures, exhibitions, book/film launches, and tours. The OAA will assess the information submitted; postings are accepted at the discretion of the Association.

While the Ontario Association of Architects does not endorse or accredit Continuing Education (ConEd) providers, it offers website posting opportunities for educational programs/events on the ConEd Opportunities page. If your organization is offering learning opportunities related to the business or practice of architecture and you would like to promote it to members and others with OAA status, this is an excellent opportunity to spread the word. See the links below for more information.

Signs can be ordered mounted (on sintra: high density plastic backing) or unmounted. Consider a broader use for unmounted signs (peel and stick laminated output): apply directly to windows, hoarding, or your own choice of backing.

You have the option to order a custom size sign to meet your specific needs. Consider using the available space to promote your services or expertise.
