Each year the Advisory Committee on Development Design reviews development permit projects on which it has received a proposal and presentation. The Advisory Committee considers which project(s) to recommend for the annual Certificate in Project Recognition. Quality of submission, presentation by the developer in terms of aesthetics, accessibility, climate sensitive design, landscaping and crime prevention through environmental design are taken into consideration for the awarding of the certificate.

Past recipients include:

• Riverbend Seniors Development:  The building exterior combines different high quality materials including fibre cement plank, panel siding, wood and glass.  The setbacks in the façade, varied rooflines, balconies, high amounts of glazing and abundant landscaping add to visual interest.
• CrossRoads Brewing:  The façade includes a modern appearance of the historical building through the inclusion of wood-grain metal, timber framing around the doorways and glazing incorporated into the patio design.  The building is a key site in the revitalization of downtown.
