A Sudbury-based architect and master lecturer at Laurentian University’s McEwen School of Architecture (MSoA), Ted Wilson has been named the new president for the governing council of the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA).

According to a release, Wilson has worked with several Canadian architecture practices, including AECOM Canada Architects Ltd., where he co-ordinated engineering with LGA Architectural Partners for the design of MSoA, where he now teaches.

When it comes to the OAA, he served previously as senior vice-president and treasurer and has chaired association committees related to governance, finance and sustainable design.

“I first ran for council to engage in larger thinking about architects, the public interest, and where the profession can continue to be effectively guided by a regulator,” Wilson said in a statement. “Now as president, I’m eager to keep listening, to use data as a resource, and to be mindful and respectful in engagement. I know this is a long run and want to take the time to do it well. The public and the profession deserve it.”
