Administrative history
By the 1930s, landscape architects were becoming active in the design and planning of parks, open spaces, public institutions, roadways, neighbourhoods, and communities across Canada. Spurred on by a desire to create a unifying body of landscape architects in Canada, the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects and Town Planners (CSLATP) was formed at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto in March 1934. Gordon Culham was President, with Howard Dunington-Grubb as Vice-President, Frances Steinhoff as Secretary-Treasurer, and Carl Borgstrom and Edwin Kay as Councilors. Also present at the founding was Laurie Dunington-Grubb, Humphrey Carver, J.V. Stensson, and Helen Kippax.
The (CSLATP) joined the International Federation of Landscape Architects when it was founded in Cambridge, England in 1948. CSLATP’s first publication, The Canadian Landscape Architect, was introduced in 1959, and in the following year regional chapters of the CSLATP were created in Montreal/Ottawa, Central Canada, and the Prairie/Pacific Coast. In 1961, “Town Planners” was dropped from the Society’s name to become the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CLSA). In 1969, the CSLA was restructured into a federation of provincial and regional component associations. CSLA’s Official Magazine, Landscape Architecture Canada, was launched in 1975, with the Landscape Architecture Review starting in 1982. [https://www.csla-aapc.ca/society/historical-timeline].
