The 2025 Volunteer Recognition Ceremony was held on December 2 at the AIBC Offices in Vancouver. This annual event recognizes the contributions of all volunteers, who play a key role in advancing the public interest mandate of the AIBC. The Institute was delighted to be able invite all volunteers to attend the Recognition Ceremony.
The ceremony opened with remarks from Board Vice Chair Matthew Halverson Architect AIBC, who shared his personal experience as a volunteer and reflected on the impact of volunteerism within the Institute.

Many serve on multiple committees, showcasing the depth of expertise within the profession. Matthew also noted the remarkable dedication of this group, with some volunteers having contributed for more than a decade.
