2025 National Awards of Landscape Excellence Gala
2025 marks the 22nd Annual National Awards of Landscape Excellence! The awards gala will take place at the Delta Hotels Regina on August 12, 2025.
The National Awards of Landscape Excellence (NALE) recognize Canadian companies that have actively raised professionalism in the landscape industry. Each province nominates members from the provincial Awards of Excellence competition that are then entered into the national awards. They may enter up to three entries per category for a total of fifteen entries per association for the following awards: landscape design, landscape construction (commercial and residential), and landscape maintenance (commercial and residential).
The CNLA Outstanding Achievement Awards recognize projects that showcase Outstanding Green Innovation, Landscape Features, and Use of Plants. The goal of these new recognitions is to celebrate excellence in creativity, sustainability, and impactful, one-of-a-kind features. These awards highlight industry leaders who push boundaries, who integrate innovative solutions and remarkable landscape elements that enhance homes, environments and communities
