Join the Natural Stone Institute board of directors and past presidents in Toronto and enjoy stone industry facility visits, a cultural and architectural tour of some of Toronto’s most cherished natural stone structures and attractions, and the Tucker Design Awards—a celebration of the design community for their exceptional use of natural stone.
The Natural Stone Institute will also honor Tod Williams and Billie Tsien of TWBTA as our 2022 recipients of the Bybee Prize. The Bybee Prize is our industry’s lifetime achievement award for design professionals who have attained a body of work illustrated by outstanding use of natural stone.
Sponsorships
Sponsorships are needed. We use sponsor contributions to offset expenses not covered through attendee registrations. Your sponsorship allows us to host award-winning architects and subsidize the attendance of regional architects. Our awards programs not only celebrate and promote great designs using natural stone, but also the accomplished work of our industry. Help us to sustain our Tucker Design Awards program. Complimentary event registration is available with certain donor levels. See below.
