The Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CSLA) announced the recipients of the 2025 Awards of Excellence. This year, 15 projects received a national award.

Kìwekì Point – Big River Landscape by Janet Rosenberg & Studio (JRS) received a National Award and the Jury’s Award of Excellence, which is given to one project annually which best demonstrates the CSLA’s vision – 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 our communities by defining the places where we live, work, and play.
