A Centenary Celebration of a Vancouver Island and Global Legacy

This celebratory public evening will feature an illustrated keynote presentation by architectural writer and critic Trevor Boddy titled “Why Arthur Erickson Matters”. This will be followed by a panel discussion in which Erickson’s architectural and urban planning projects on Vancouver Island will be evaluated. The importance and influence this great practitioner can offer to architecture, and particularly to younger architects, will be considered. A mounted photographic display of these Vancouver Island projects will accompany the evening’s proceedings.

Please join us for this feature winter seasonal community gathering to review and to honor both the international and the local work of a very distinguished Canadian architect, and to share thoughts on the influences of an exceptional architectural legacy.
