BA Honoured at 10th Annual CANstruction Competition

Nov 13, 2008

For the fifth year in a row, BA Group has been honoured at CANstruction!

Sponsored by the Society of Design Administrators, CANstruction aims to end hunger.  Design, architecture and engineering teams enter to build structures entirely out of non-perishable food items, which, at the end of the friendly competition, are donated to local food banks – in Toronto, the recipient is the Daily Bread Food Bank.  The event currently takes place in 125 cities across North America!

Build Night was Monday, November 10th, and over 32 BA team members showed up to help build, with many working late into the night with fantastic results.

BA Group’s structure was entitled “The Venetian CANal: Making Hunger Gone-dola” and depicts a traditional Venetian scene: a bridge spanning a canal, striking building facades lining the canal, and of course, a gondola, complete with a traditional gondolier’s hat.

At Awards Night on November 11th, we were the very proud recipients of the award for Structural Ingenuity! 

Thanks to our incredibly generous sponsors, we were able to buy over 8,000 pounds of food!  Our full list of sponsors is below.

BA Group would like to thank all of our generous sponsors and the entire BA CANstruction team!  We are incredibly proud of this outstanding accomplishment and award, but we’re mostly proud of the contribution we were able to make to help end hunger in Toronto.

Photos of all the structures are available on the SDA’s website.
