  • A Victoria architectural bike tour, organized by the AIBC and Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition, was offered on Sunday, July 11, 2010. The tour cost $5 and departed from Centennial Square.
  • The Broadly Experienced Foreign Architect (BEFA) Program was launched on September 21, 2012, for all 11 provincial and territorial architectural licensing authorities in Canada. BEFA was developed and piloted at the AIBC.
  • Under the 2014–2018 Bylaw Review Workplan, 7 bylaw initiatives were undertaken, 100% passed member vote, and 126 bylaws were amended.
  • From 2015 Member’s Motion to 2017 Bylaws, Mandatory Professional Liability Insurance came into effect for all Certificate of Practice Holders on February 1, 2019.
  • On October 26, 2019, the AIBC signed the CALA-ACE Mutual Recognition Agreement between Canada and the Europion Union. Today, Architects AIBC can take advantage of reciprocity agreements with all Canadian provinces, multiple jurisdictions in the United States, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and soon with the EU.
  • In an effort to increase the walkability and charm of Downtown Vancouver, the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association has spearheaded many projects aimed at converting underutilized space into appealing public space. Examples include Alley Oop, the conversion of a service alley into a brightly-coloured, pedestrian-friendly alley, and Hornby Plaza, a former parking lot turned into a public park.
  • On May 6, 2019, the AIBC’s 100th Annual Meeting took place, kicking off the Institute’s centenary year.
