Interior Designers of Canada (IDC) held its annual awards celebration, honouring winners of the Value of Design Awards (VODA) along with the naming of IDC Fellows, the Legacy Award of Distinguished Service and winners of the student competition.

This year IDC presented Doris Hasell, an IDC founding member, with the fourth IDC Legacy Award for Distinguished Service. The recipient of this award exemplifies outstanding service and dedication to IDC and more broadly to the interior design community in Canada.

Sally Mills, past IDC past president and principal at Kasian Architecture Interior Design and Planning, was inducted into the IDC College of Fellows.

“It warms my heart to finally see everyone together again, buzzing with joy and anticipation,” said IDC president Trevor Kruse. “We are lucky to have a space to honour the significant talent of our community.”
