April is World Landscape Architecture Month (WLAM)!

Every April Canadian landscape architects join their colleagues around the world to celebrate our profession. April is the perfect month to share our profession and reach out to our communities, notable for Earth Day (April 22nd) and the birthday of Frederick Law Olmsted (April 27th), founder of the landscape architecture profession in North America.

The International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) inaugurated the event in 2006. Since then, IFLA and its member associations around the world join annually in celebrating this month. Canadian landscape architects have been celebrating World Landscape Architecture Month since 2008, bringing local and national recognition to landscape architecture during the month of April.

The Purpose of the CSLA WLAM program is to provide resources to:

• bring local and national recognition and awareness to the profession, Landscape Architects, and works of landscape architecture in Canada;
• encourage public participation and interest in events and activities related to landscape architecture; and,
• encourage people (particularly young people) to consider a career in landscape architecture.

April is the time to celebrate the profession of landscape architecture in Canada.
