The Society promotes continuing education and high standards of professional practice in order to assure the health, safety and welfare of the public in British Columbia.

Labour Mobility
In Canada Landscape Architects are regulated only in Ontario and British Columbia.  The two regulated provinces have had a reciprocity agreement since 1995, which assures easy mobility of Landscape Architects between Ontario and British Columbia .  Landscape Architects moving from a non-regulated province or from outside of Canada will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.  The Labour Mobility Coordinating Group has reviewed the reciprocity agreement and believes Landscape Architects have demonstrated excellent progress toward meeting labour mobility obligations.

BC Work Futures provides a comprehensive description of close to 200 occupations as they relate directly to the BC labour market.
