Perceptions often influence the choices we make in our lives. Two articles in this issue demonstrate that close examination of the specifics of the case at hand led to steel being the material of choice for both a bridge in Mississauga and the INRS building in Québec City. Both projects demonstrated that the structural steel solution provided a significant benefit to the owner.
Many other projects from across Canada have shown the various advantages of steel, and their designers and constructors have been honoured for their work by CISC’s Regional Design Awards. Those projects are again featured in this issue. I invite you to discover the merits of each of these winning projects.
