LEES+Associates is pleased to announce that our Iqaluit Municipal Cemetery project is a recipient of the 2017 Canadian Society of Landscape Architects’ (CSLA) National Awards of Excellence.

The Iqaluit cemetery was purposefully designed to transform the community’s perception of what a cemetery can and should be. Drawing on local and traditional knowledge, the thoughtful combinations of natural materials and indigenous cultural elements create a dynamic community space where the arctic landscape and its peoples are remembered and celebrated.

According to the CSLA:

These award-winning projects are 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 – defining the places we want to live, work and play
