October 5 is World Architecture Day, and this year we are celebrating alongside the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) and the RAIC College’s Ontario Southwest Committee, with a special edition of TSA CONNECT featuring architects from across the region who have been recognized by their peers for their contributions to architecture.

Known by the postnomials FRAIC—or a Fellow of the RAIC College—these individuals have been inducted into the College of Fellows for their professional accomplishments or service to the profession and community. Fellowship is one of the highest honours the RAIC bestows, celebrating individuals for their achievements in areas such as research, scholarship, public service, or professional excellence in Canada or abroad—and now is your chance to meet them!

This special edition of TSA CONNECT will feature RAIC Fellows from the RAIC College’s Ontario Southwest Committee—a volunteer group responsible for raising thousands of dollars for regional scholarships—alongside the newest cohort of inductees. Whether you are a student, young professional, or just looking to connect with inspiring individuals, this session is a great opportunity to learn about their unique career paths and what motivates them in areas like practice, education, research, and community advocacy. And as an added bonus, representatives from the RAIC will also be in attendance with information on RAIC Foundation scholarships for both students and Intern Architects.
