Three National Landscape Architecture Awards to Celebrate

May 12, 2020

The Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CSLA) announced the recipients of the Awards of Excellence, and DIALOG is proud to receive three awards. The annual awards recognize 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.

Walterdale Bridge (Edmonton, AB) was recognized in the Large-Scale Landscapes category. Mechanized River Valley Access (Edmonton, AB) was recognized in the Medium-Scale Landscapes category. And DIALOG’s Community Wellbeing Framework, developed in partnership with the Conference Board of Canada, was recognized in the Research Category.

Walterdale Bridge is a bridge for people as well as for cars, with an emphasis on placemaking in the heart of Edmonton's river valley.
