Professional Societies and Education

http://www.csla.ca/

The primary objectives of the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects, the CSLA, are to represent the profession of Landscape Architecture in Canada at national and international levels and to develop and support national activities and programs of the component associations.

http://www.asla.org/asla/

The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) is a national professional society that represents the landscape architecture profession in the United States. Founded in 1899, the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) currently represents more than 12,000 members and has 47 chapters across the country with headquarters in Washington, DC. Private, public, and academic practitioners have a professional home at ASLA as do international practitioners and members of related professions.

The mandate of the BCSLA is to foster the development and promotion of Landscape Architecture in the province of BC.  The BCSLA was established by the enactment of the Landscape Architects Act 1968 as a self-governing professional society among whose objectives include the furtherance and maintenance of proper standards of professional practice.  This Act restricts the use of the title of Landscape Architect within British Columbia.  While this does not prohibit people who are not registered from practicing landscape architecture, it does prohibit them from calling themselves landscape architects.

Ontario Association of Landscape Architects (OALA)
