Members of the Society for the Study of Architecture in Canada (SSAC), representatives of affiliated societies, and other scholars who wish to chair a session or present a paper at the 2009 Annual Conference in Toronto, Ontario, May 20-24, 2009, are invited to submit proposals by October 30. The conference will take place at Ryerson University in the heart of Toronto.

The conference will coincide with the annual Festival of Architecture and Design, and specifically with Doors Open Toronto (May 23-24)—an annual event that celebrates the city’s architecture by providing free access to buildings that are not generally open to the public. Attendees will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to visit architectural sites throughout the city on their own over the course of Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday.
