Landscape Canada is a committee of CNLA. Part of its mandate is to do work specifically beneficial and tailored for the Landscape sector.

Landscape Canada is working on several projects to raise the level of awareness and professionalism in the landscape industry, such as:

• Landscape Canada Survey for the 2012 Business Year
  • 2011 Landscape Canada Survey Results
• National Awards of Landscape Excellence
• Landscape OnSites - a training guide for the job site. Now Available.

Any landscape member of CNLA may attend most ELCA meetings and events. CNLA landscape members who choose to join the Committee of Firms can also participate in an intern exchange program and tours. The Committee of Firms was created to intensify the information exchange among landscape professionals at the international level by consolidating knowledge, developing new areas of responsibility, sharing experiences, and promoting exchange.
