It's time to celebrate our collective success The renovation of the Landscape Ontario building is now complete. Our new facility is already a hub for training, innovation and activities. It is also a great representation of who we are — professionals. I invite you all to join us next Wednesday (October 23), from 2:30 to 7 p.m. to help celebrate this significant accomplishment. There will be food, tours, refreshments and an official ribbon cutting at 5 p.m. Connect with other green professionals, see our stunning new facility, and join us for the next phase in our long and prosperous journey together. If you are planning to attend, you must RSVP online by Oct. 17. |
