The other three teams are from Provencher_Roy of Montreal and NORR of Toronto, Patkau Architects of Vancouver and Brook McIlroy of Toronto, and 5468796 Architecture of Winnipeg.
Canadian Canoe Museum executive director Richard Tucker said: "I’m looking forward to being able to share these designs in the fall with the stakeholders and community, and for the opportunity for community input into the museum’s selection process."
The competition was initiated in February this year when the museum issued a request for qualifications (RFQ) for architects worldwide, to provide design services for the new facility, reported kawarthaNOW.com.
The museum received more than 90 submissions from firms across North America, Europe and Asia. Shortlisted teams are expected to make design presentations to various project stakeholders and at a public open house.
