OTTAWA—The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) has announced the development of a new strategic plan intended to guide the organization “to create a better world for all through inspired architecture in Canada.”

• Mission – to create a better world for all by empowering Canada’s architectural community;

• Integrity – being accountable, transparent and acting with high ethical standards in all work;

• Climate action – counteracting climate change and mitigating the impacts of the climate crisis on people and communities;

• Social justice – creating a just culture that strives for social and spatial equity, embraces and respects inclusivity, fosters diversity and is accessible to all; and

• Innovation – using creativity and design excellence to create thoughtful change in the architectural profession and the built environment.
