The biggest one in the Skyscraperpage era was the one for CMHR. Fun fact: Saucier + Perotte was a finalist (or was it just shortlist? I can't remember) in that one too.
There was a P&M design competition around 2003 or so. I guess Manitoba Hydro put out a call for proposals although I suppose it was a bunch of pitches for different sites and not really a design competition to see different takes on the same site. Same with MTS.
I'm sure there have been others that I'm forgetting.
