About the Awards of Excellence
The CSLA Awards of Excellence celebrate work that is inspiring, exhilarating, and remarkably diverse. View our previous award recipients to experience the ever-expanding range of landscape architecture in Canada today. The Awards of Excellence honour distinctive design, ground-breaking research, sustainable landscape management and much more. Our CSLA landscape architects revitalize derelict inner-city shorelines and fashion pedestrian-friendly streetscapes. They build avant-garde residential gardens and turn brownfields into sustainable parks. They shape our urban landscapes, spearheading city-wide planning and design. Each year, jurors select exceptional projects across many areas of expertise.
Conflict of Interest Policy for the Awards of Excellence Jury
People often fail to recognize when their personal interest has biased their judgement. That is, conflict of interest operates at a sub-conscious as well as a conscious level.
Because conflict of interest is a risk factor for bias, professionals, including landscape architects, have an obligation to avoid even the appearance of bias by declaring their conflicts and recusing themselves.
