This list overviews the academic accomplishments and the career highlights of some of Canada’s pioneering female architects.

    Pit House

    A pit house is a type of dwelling historically used by various Indigenous peoples living in the Plateau region of Canada. Partially built into the ground, pit houses provided warmth and shelter during the winter season. While pit houses no longer serve as common dwellings, they retain cultural significance for many Indigenous peoples. Archeological remains and replicas of pit houses can be found in various parts of Canada. (See also Architectural History of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.)

    Plamondon Libel Case

    The Plamondon Libel Case was a landmark legal case lasting from 1910 until 1914. The case was likely the first attempt to fight antisemitism in court in Canada. Two Jewish residents of Quebec City, Louis Lazarovitch and Benjamin Ortenberg, initiated the libel suit against Jacques-Édouard Plamondon. The latter had given an antisemitic speech, which caused a wave of antisemitic violence directed at Quebec City’s small Jewish community. The events occurred during a period of strong, often nationalistic, antisemitism in Quebec.
