We support and partner with people and organizations that contribute to equity, diversity, and inclusion in the industry and its workplaces.

For 2026, our community partner is the Toronto Society of Architects Pride Task Force.

“This will catalog and document Toronto’s 2SLGBTQIA+ spaces, past and present. Started in 2021 as part of the TSA’s Pride initiatives, this database has been built through a mix of archival research, interviews and community input in the hopes of preserving the history of Toronto’s queer spaces and better understand their urban and spatial characteristics. We recognize that this database is an incomplete list, and that given the limited records available and the fluid nature of queer spaces, it may always be, but we believe this imperfect list makes an important contribution to understanding a spatial history often overlooked in traditional architectural discourse.

The spaces we occupy do not emerge by chance. They are the result of policy and design decisions—intentional or not. By learning more about their history, characteristics, and those who shaped them, it is our hope that we can take more deliberate, thoughtful actions towards our collective futures.”
