FLAP Canada | Online Education Event

On Thursday, November 12th, join us at Noon to find out how FLAP Canada has poured its efforts into protecting birds from the life-threatening dangers of our built environment.

Fatal Light Awareness Program (FLAP) Canada is a registered Canadian charity widely recognized as the pre-eminent authority on the bird-building collision issue. Since 1993, FLAP Canada has been using on-the-ground conservation, advocacy, policy development, research, awareness, education and outreach to inspire change that will stop this leading cause of bird death across the globe.

Executive Director, Michael Mesure shares his story and history of the Building Collision Movement, the Evolution of Bird Window Collision Research and Collision Mitigation Technologies, background on existing Bird-Friendly Guidelines, Standards and Laws, and future developments.

Michael tirelessly advocates for bird protections at various levels of government, as well as consults with city planners across North America on developing bird-friendly guidelines and standards. His work increasingly focuses on solutions to help mitigate and remediate the challenges of bird migrations in built environments, having led the BirdSafe® Building Standards and risk assessments, to help develop the Canadian Standards Association’s (CSA) Bird-Friendly Design standard as a technical committee member.

Also joining us is Armond Shahinian, one of the founders of PCL Graphics, has been in business for over 36 years. Specialising in bespoke graphics fabrication, over the years PCL has developed speciality products the meet and exceed the challenges in our industry. They share their experience working with FLAP for the implementation and installation of film to protect against bird collision.

This is a free event, however, reservations are required.

SEGD YYZ Chapter Site Tour

Our friends at MJMA Architects will be taking us on a tour of their recently completed project, Centennial College’s Downsview Campus Centre for Aerospace and Aviation. This project is chalk full of EGD and a fantastic example of the ability to integrate graphics as part of the building narrative. The team at Acumen Visual Group will join us in discussing how this project was brought to life.

"Centennial College had the tremendous ambition to re-purpose aircraft hangars at Downsview Airport as a teaching facility for aviation and aerospace. The existing structures – some of which date back to 1929 – are significant in Canadian aviation history. That history played an important role in the design of the visual identity. For example, curated archival photography is installed as super-sized graphic murals that form a dramatic backdrop in public spaces – speaking to the activities that once took place at this site. From a visual branding perspective; colours, symbols, and patterns we associate with an aircraft tarmac or manufacturing floor are used as inspirational cues for signage and wayfinding. Together these elements help contribute to a coherent experience. It has a quality that is distinctly new while also being rooted in the history of the place."

A big thanks to Acumen Visual Group for their support in realizing this event.
