Three Ontario projects were recognized in this year's North American Copper in Architecture Awards.

The Copper Development Association's (CDA's) Andrew Kireta Jr., said the awards recognize and promote building projects for their outstanding use of architectural copper and copper alloys. The program showcases projects that highlight craftsmanship, attention to detail, and architectural vision.

The competition attracted entrants from all over North America, with 27 submissions this year. The Canadian Copper and Brass Development Association (CCBDA) and CDA divided the projects into two categories—restoration/renovation and new construction.
