The Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CSLA) has announced the recipients of the 2021 Awards of Excellence.
Winners were selected by a national jury of landscape architects. A total of 72 submissions were received with 14 projects receiving a national award.
Dale Hodges Park, by 02 Planning and Design and Source 2 Source Inc., was selected to receive the Jury’s Award of Excellence, which is given to one project annually which best demonstrates the CSLA’s vision — that of 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 communities by defining the places where we live, work and play.
“The award-winning projects highlight new approaches and illustrate the levels of expertise to be mobilized to address current social, cultural and environmental challenges,” said Bernard St-Denis, chair of the 2021 Awards of Excellence jury.
