The Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CSLA) announced the recipients of the Awards of Excellence. This year, 15 projects received a national award and one project, the Fort Garry Provincial Park by HTFC Planning and Design, was selected for the Jury?s Award of Excellence, given to one project per year which best demonstrates the CSLA?s vision (advancing the art, science and practice of landscape architecture).
These award-winning projects are preeminent examples of Canadian landscape architecture. They illustrate the range of

what landscape architects do and how landscape architects are helping to reshape our communities – defining the places we want to live, work and play.

Winners were selected by a national jury of landscape architects. The principal criteria applied by the jurors were:
Demonstration of a deep understanding of the craft of landscape architecture and attention to composition and

detail
 Demonstration of excellence in leadership, project management, breadth of work, new directions or new

technology
