TEAM
A graduate of the École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Paris-Belleville and the Université de Montréal, Nathalie Dion has more than 30 years of experience as an architect. She served as President of the Ordre des architectes du Québec from 2013 to 2019, joined Provencher_Roy in 2017, and became a partner in 2021.
A dedicated advocate, she is committed to promoting the democratization and recognition of architecture as both a profession and a matter of public concern. After actively leading the public dialogue surrounding the development of a national architecture policy, she was named a Fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada in 2018. Her ability to bring people together made a significant contribution to the launch, in 2019, of the first Quebec Architecture Strategy, supported by Quebec’s Ministère de la Culture et des Communications. Nathalie served on the boards of directors of Architects of Emergency (2011–2013) and the Ordre des architectes du Québec (2006–2019), as well as the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB), which she chaired from 2020 to 2022.
The breadth and diversity of her professional career reflect the versatility and curiosity she brings to her practice. As a project manager, Nathalie Dion has led several projects since 2017, including the rehabilitation and redevelopment of the Terrasses de la Chaudière complex; a real estate analysis of the Université du Québec en Outaouais’s unified campus; and the redevelopment of Ottawa Station. Alongside her management responsibilities, she is also responsible for developing and maintaining professional relationships with several First Nations communities, with whom increasingly strong collaborations are emerging through the development of a range of projects.
