BC Standard for Extensive Green Roof (June 2007 Edition) 
An essential reference for design professionals involved with this technology. Green roofs may be categorized into two types, intensive or extensive, depending on the vegetative cover and planned usage of the roof area. The design intent is a key factor in determining media depths and plant selection. This Standard deals exclusively with extensive green roofs.

2007 BCSLA Workplace Survey (PDF)
 
The Workplace Survey was carried out to gather information relating to the current workplace conditions of our Members. The primary purpose of the survey was to acquire current data to inform work being undertaken to update the Society's Fee Guide.  In addition it is hoped that the survey will provide an invaluable insight into the profession and will arm students, employees and employers with up-to-date facts about the profession. 
We hope that the survey will be a useful and interesting resource for all Members of the Society and will lead to a better understanding of the profession in British Columbia.
