The award, which will be made May 11 at a meeting of the Institute in Montreal is restricted to 8 per cent of the membership.
Mr. Black was born in Regina and attended public school here and graduated from Central Collegiate. In 1935 he obtained his architect's qualifications from the University of Toronto. During the Second World War he served in the Canadian navy and on demobilization set up a business in the city.
