TORONTO SOCIETY OF ARCHITECTS ANNUAL REPORT 2019 3 A message from the 2019 TSA Executive
The last 12 months have marked one of the busiest years for the TSA in recent memory as our Society continues to grow both in terms of membership and programming.
In terms of membership, it was another year of continuous growth for our Society as we welcomed just over 100 new members, a 7% increase compared to the previous year, for a total of 1636 members. The biggest percentage increase came from new student members - a result from both the introduction of a free student membership category as well our increased outreach efforts to the GTA’s schools of architecture and architecture technology.
When it comes to activities, 2019 marked our most ambitious and diverse programming offering to date with the continuation and expansion of popular long-standing initiatives including our tours program and lectures series and the introduction of brand new offerings such as our first ever float as part of Toronto’s Pride Parade and Toronto’s very own Architecture and Design Film Festival. It is worth highlighting that both of these new initiatives were made possible thanks to the generous support of the Ontario Association of Architects through Special Project Funding and their success as pilot projects in 2019 means they will be permanently incorporated as staple events on the TSA’s calendar.

Critical to the success of this program has been the thanking our programming partners and financial supporters that financial support of the OAA, which has allowed us to increase our made our programming and activities possible. 2019 saw our marketing efforts and provided the funds required for the creation of most successful fundraising campaign yet, allowing us to further new tour content. expand our programming and continue our efforts to promote public appreciation of architecture within the Greater Toronto Area. It is thanks Advocacy played a leading role in 2019 as the TSA mobilized to their financial support that we are able to maintain such a robust in response to the Ontario government’s announcement of a new programming offering, much of it free of charge to the public.

A highlight of these efforts was our Ontario Place Charrette, an all We are immensely proud of what we have accomplished as a Society day event that brought together members of the public and design during the past 12 months and excited to build upon this success to professionals to engage in the conversation about the future of Ontario make 2020 an even better year. Place. On behalf of the Toronto Society of Architects Executive, 2019 also marks an important year in terms of our Society’s governance, as our membership approved the first update to our by-laws in 31 years. Last updated in 1987, revising our by-laws was a long overdue project necessary to ensure our governance structure and procedures reflected the realities, ambitions and values of the TSA. These reforms are vital for the long term sustainability of our Society and will have an impact far beyond this year’s programming, shaping our membership and guiding our initiatives for years to come. Maria Denegri, Chair Megan Torza, Vice Chair
Of course, none of this would be possible without the work of our tireless volunteers who commit thousands of hours to advance the work of the TSA. It is in recognition of this vital work that we have implemented two important changes in 2019 that seek to reinforce the importance and celebrate the work of our volunteers: the establishment of an annual volunteer appreciation event and the introduction of a minimum one year volunteering requirement to anyone seeking to serve Alana Young, Treasurer in the TSA Executive.
Speaking of volunteers, we would be remiss not to mention the work done for succession planning at the TSA, part of our efforts to ensure the long-term success, viability and relevance of our Society. This year saw the introduction of our new one-year training program for new TSA Executive, providing dedicated TSA volunteers a path to leadership positions within our Society. While still in its early days, we

TORONTO SOCIETY OF ARCHITECTS ANNUAL REPORT 2019 53 About the Toronto Society of Architects
Established in 1887, the Toronto Society of Architects (TSA) is a non-profit volunteer-based organization comprised of over 1600 architects, professionals from sister disciplines, students, and every day Torontonians interested in architecture and urban issues.
We play an advocacy role in the city, ensuring that architecture and design are key considerations in public discussions and in processes that have an impact on our built environment. We do this through a wide range of initiatives and programs, including forums, lectures, and tours. Our advocacy work is complimented by initiatives meant to improve the skills of our members and make the architectural profession more accessible and welcoming.
The TSA is a Society of the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA), which is the licensing and regulatory body that governs the practice of architecture in Ontario.
