About the Canadian Architecture Forums on Education (CAFÉ)

In March 2026, the Canadian Architecture Students Association (CASA-ACÉA) is honoured to present CAFÉ Indigenous Knowledge and Design at the University of Toronto, Dalhousie University, McGill University, the University of Manitoba, and Toronto Metropolitan University. The series of events will bring vital Canadian conversations to the forefront. They promise to be an important moment in highlighting important local Indigenous voices and bringing meaningful perspectives to students across the nation.

CASA-ACÉA is an independent, non-profit, bilingual, and student-led organization. Their mission is to connect and advocate for the community of architecture students across Canada by supporting, promoting, and profiling student success. In shaping this next set of forums, CASA-ACÉA has selected the theme and is curating the conversations for the coming forums, in consultation with influential Indigenous voices in architecture across Canada.
