2024 Recognition Lunch

Over a plant-based meal at the Recognition Lunch, DesignTO Festival director Deborah Wang received the Medal of Service, and Barry J. Hobin was feted with the Lifetime Design Achievement for his commitment to design excellence. A.J. Diamond, Raymond Moriyama, and Adrienne Tam were posthumously added to the Honour Roll.

Kevin McIntosh shared his thoughts on becoming the Association’s newest Honorary Member and four past members of Council— Ida Badre, Farida Abu-Bakare, Deo Paquette, and Clayton Payer—received Certificates of Appreciation.
