2.00 ConEd Learning Hours
10:30 am - 12:30 pm

To bring Conference to close, join OAA President Ted Wilson and your peers from across the profession as the Association celebrates past Councillors and its newest Honorary Member(s). The theme for next year’s event in Waterloo will also be revealed.

Then, a special session reflects on the Reshaping Communities theme by examining the reimagining of a heritage building as an Indigenous cultural space through extensive rehabilitation and addition. The presenters explore the Indigenous collaborative design process established from the project’s inception, and the result of achieving an 80% net-zero-energy facility for the Kingston Native Centre + Language Nest (KNCLN). Providing cultural spaces for teaching and celebrating traditional practices and craftsmanship, the “Nest” resides in a two-storey limestone building constructed in 1873.
