Landscape architects should be explicitly recognized as a prescribed profession. They are regulated, accountable practitioners who routinely prepare core components of planning application submissions, and their work directly informs municipal decision‑making. Read more

Ontario needs to think toward design and sustainability excellence. The work of landscape architects is crucial toward thoughtful building with climate change challenges in mind. We need to do better, and not sacrifice quality for speed. In this day and age, this is unethical.

Talking about transit: PLEASE, whatever you do, don't take control of transit agencies. If you're implementing a unified fare structure, or 'One Fare 2.0', you must not touch ANYTHING that will cause changes to how much fare revenue transit agencies get. Read more

The proposed changes to specialized transit will decrease efficiency and cause greater barriers to those who require the service. This will not make things better. Please do more research before making a quick decision to implement any changes. Thank you
