2024's Theme

This year’s theme, The 8th Wonder of the World, is all about imagination and dreaming up a 21st-century Wonder of the World. We invite you to join us in building gingerbread houses for a good cause and spreading cheer through design.

 

Gingerbread Build for the City is a Toronto-wide gingerbread house competition for Architecture Firms in support of the Red Door Family Shelter. Together, we have raised over $5000 to help families in need. The Red Door Family Shelter has been providing emergency shelter and support for women and children affected by domestic abuse, families experiencing a housing crisis, and refugee claimants with nowhere else to turn. If you would like to donate to the cause, please follow the link below.

With the generous donation of many participating firms, all proceeds go to the Red Door Family Shelter which since 1982 has been providing save and supportive shelter to hundreds of families each year. They also offer counselling, life skills training, legal assistance, and ongoing support to help establish a stable life beyond the shelter.
