JURY COMMENT
It seems like Seanna Thomas was born to be a leader.
During her internship in architecture, when she identified a lack of resources to guide interns through the process, she created in 2019 the Emerging Architects Group (EAG) in Saskatchewan, a peer support mentoring program. She is now also the Saskatchewan director of the BAC-DAC (Becoming Architects Canada), a national mentorship organization that collaborates with the RAIC, the ROAC and the licensing authorities to provide resources for interns across the country.
She is passionate about creating spaces that are accessible and serve all people universally. At her workplace, where she is the Accessibility Lead, she organizes “Awareness Hour” sessions designed to help her colleagues better understand the diverse needs of the users of the built environment.
Sincerely dedicated to helping people through design, mentorship and advocacy, she embodies what true leadership is really about. The jury feels she is definitely on track to being a strong voice in the profession.
