BEA Prairies

Building Equality in Architecture: Prairies (BEAP) promotes inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility in the city-building professions. Our organization aims to support, celebrate, and connect practitioners, students, and academics at all levels in architecture, landscape architecture, planning, interior design, construction, and engineering across the prairies. BEAP uses an intersectional and cross-disciplinary approach to provide leadership, mentorship, and networking opportunities. We host events and public lectures; generate dialogue around inclusive practices and addressing barriers; and recognize the multiplicity of voices, hands, and minds that plan, design, and build our communities. We are also part of the larger BEA community which includes BEA: Toronto (BEAT), BEA: Atlantic (BEAA), BEA: Calgary (BEAC), BEA: North (BEAN).
