The Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association (GOHBA) livestreamed its membership’s top talent via YouTube during the 37th Annual Housing Design Awards on November 20.
“Despite challenges from COVID-19, GOHBA members have worked hard to continue delivering high-quality, beautiful work,” says Linda Oliveri Blanchard, Chairperson of the Housing Design Awards. “While we usually hold the annual awards at a large gala, this year we’re taking the event online.”
