It’s time to renew your ARIDO membership. 

2024 was an action-packed year for ARIDO, with activities, events, and reflections which were priorities at many levels of the association because of the importance they relay for our members. Our journey towards ARIDO’s leadership to advance equity, diversity, and inclusion within the association and our communities continued, with multiple milestones we committed to accomplish and reached throughout the year. 

The Bold Statement continues to be a guiding philosophy that leads our work as it directs many components of the Strategic Plan that we continue to advance. 

ARIDO has a busy year planned for 2025. Here are some priority areas:

• Launch of ARIDO’s Examination Alternative (Spring 2025)
• Public Awareness Campaign with Lemonade Inc.
• ARIDO’s continued work with the OAA on the Direct Regulation Model
• ARIDO Communities will launch their first series of initiatives across Ontario
• OBC Illustrative Guide
• Accessibility Practice Principles & Standards
• Interior Design Fee Guide

Renew your membership and be part of this exciting work. For more information on these initiatives and the 2024 accomplishments, view our interactive infographic below.

For 2025, the Board of Management has instituted a modest 2% increase in dues to ensure ARIDO has the stability to continue providing our support to you and members across Ontario throughout next year while responding to the increase of costs the country is currently experiencing. The Board of Management reviewed multiple cost models for this increase and determined an increase of 2% would provide adequate support for ARIDO’s needs. 

ARIDO is mindful of the need to offer various payment options such as annual, quarterly, semi-annual or monthly installments. You can set up your dues in a way that works for you.
