Cultural Landscapes - Call for Contributions
The CSLA’s Committee on Cultural Landscapes and Legacy wishes to create an online collection of significant cultural landscapes across Canada.
Ultimately, the goal of this project is to create a collection of 25 places that exemplify the wide range of cultural landscape treasures across Canada by 2024.
Are there sites which you think should be included in CSLA’s database of cultural landscapes? Which of your region’s significant historic places should be recognized by the CSLA?
You can submit your suggestions of cultural landscapes that you would like to see in the final collection here:
The CSLA invites its members and component associations to participate in this open consultation period which will be followed by a workshop to be held from 1 to 3 pm ET on 20 September 2022 via Zoom.
The Summer 2022 Excellence issue of LANDSCAPES | PAYSAGES is now available online!
