The Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) bestowed the 2006 Power Corporation of Canada Award to al&d's Master of Architecture student Nancy Wilson, along with Edward J. Martin, University of Waterloo, and Catherine Vandermeulen, McGill University. Intended for students enrolled in Master of Architecture programs across Canada, this award offers recipients a 3-month residency at the CCA in which to undertake a common research project during and benefit from the collections and resources of the institution, in the company of the international fellows and scholars at the Study Centre. To this end, a $7000 stipend is offered to each recipient.

The jury was composed of Giovanna Borasi, CCA Curator of Contemporary Architecture; Brigitte Desrochers, Architecture Officer, Canada Council for the Arts; André Guillerme, Mellon Senior Fellow at the CCA Study Centre; Phyllis Lambert, CCA Founding Director and Chair of the Board of Trustees; Alexis Sornin, Associate Head, Study Centre; and Mirko Zardini, Director of the CCA.

The three recipients are working on a collaborative research project on the city of Montréal and sustainable development, with a specific focus on the transportation system, food, and the connections between city and province.
