Associations in Atlantic Canada sign Harmonization Agreement Landscape Nova Scotia, Landscape NB/PEI, and Landscape Newfoundland and Labrador recently announced the signing of a Harmonization Agreement to enhance collaboration among Atlantic Canada’s landscape associations. The agreement unites these associations to share staff and resources, benefiting their members. While this collaboration fosters greater efficiency, each association will retain its autonomy regarding branding, finances, Boards, AGMs and individual memberships within the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association (CNLA). A management committee, composed of two representatives from each Atlantic association, will oversee the harmonization process. The committee will manage a joint staffing and administration budget and explore collaboration in education, expanded sponsorship opportunities, events and trade shows within the region. The CNLA is pleased to announce Jan Loner as the new Atlantic executive director. The search for additional staff support is underway, and the CNLA office is providing interim assistance. David Thompson, chair of the management committee, said: “This Harmonization Agreement is a significant step toward greater opportunities and efficiencies for our Atlantic associations. We’re excited to work together as a region, offering enhanced member services and creating new collaborations that benefit our industry.” This milestone collaboration represents a unified effort to strengthen services and foster growth in the region’s landscape sector. By pooling resources and expertise, Landscape Nova Scotia, Landscape NB/PEI, and Landscape Newfoundland and Labrador are working toward a more cohesive and prosperous landscape community in Atlantic Canada.
