The Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CSLA) has announced the recipients of its Awards of Excellence.

This year, 15 projects received a national award.

According to the jury, “This year’s awards demonstrate that project excellence doesn’t always have to come from big bucks and  be of huge scale to make an  impact. Projects such as the Jury’s Award of Excellence, Rooted in Clay, or the outdoor play  space of Winnipeg’s Casa  Montessori, or the simplicity of  the wayfinding tools of Escales decouvertes (large scale) clearly demonstrate that in many cases, simple approaches can  be extremely effective.“ The  2019  National Award recipients are:
