Winners Announced For Canada's Most Prestigious Design Awards
3 May 2006 - 1:00pm
Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) and the Canada Council for the Arts announce the Governor-General's Medals in Architecture.
"Quebec architects have been showered with the riches of the Governor-General's Medals in Architecture, scoring an unprecedented eight of 12 awards given out in the country's most prestigious design competition...Though Quebec has not experienced the building booms of Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary, modest, civic projects located throughout the province -- a library, a tourism centre, a park's welcoming pavilion, two theatres and one condominium -- caught the attention of the Governor-General's jury...Meanwhile, major cultural commissions in Ontario were shut out of the awards."
