GET
INVOLVED
There are many ways to get involved with ORSA and being active in the Society is a great way to meet new people who share a similar passion for architecture and design in our city.
Here are a few ways
that you can get involved
ATTEND AN EVENT
ORSA offers a wide variety of events throughout the year, including lectures, tours, film series and exhibitions. Most of our events are open to the public and completely free of charge, and are often done in collaboration with like-minded organizations throughout the Capital Region.

BECOME A MEMBER
It’s not only architects who can be members of ORSA – our membership is open to everyone interested in architecture and design! Our memberships are affordable and easy to do, and members receive benefits such as exclusive access to “member only” programs (such as our summer building tours series), discounts on numerous events and initiatives, as well as early-bird tickets to our lectures, and a subscription to our bi-weekly e-bulletins packed with events and competitions related to architecture and design.

VOLUNTEER
The backbone of ORSA are the dozens of volunteers who make our initiatives possible. From helping with setup and tear down of our public events to leading our architecture tours throughout the summer, our volunteering opportunities are as varied as our initiatives and we are always looking for new volunteers to help with projects big and small.
Some of the exciting ongoing committees we have underway for 2021 include:
- Social Media
- Ongoing Events (both online and eventually in person)
- Design Excellence Awards
- Golf Tournament
- Ottawa Architecture Week 2021
