There is another great event co­ming in Ca­na­dian his­tory, our 150th birth­day in 2017. This is es­pe­cially a chance to re­de­fine what Ca­nada is and where the country is hea­ding. As archi­tects and ur­ba­nists, it is a chance to de­fine our vi­sion for ci­ties in our nor­dic cli­mate and vast geo­graphy, and to con­si­der the ur­ban im­pli­ca­tions of our new de­mo­graphic cha­rac­te­rist from years of con­ti­nual im­mi­gra­tion. An ins­pi­ring and thought pro­vo­king call-to-action from Pe­ter Mac­Leod (vi­deo) at MASS LBP at TEDx To­ronto is worth watching.

I think that this is a great op­por­tu­nity for Ca­na­dian de­sig­ners to chan­nel ef­forts into rec­rea­ting and re­freshing a vi­sion to our society.
