Not only is Congress experiencing significant growth, but so are our other events, such as Green Trade and Snowposium, which are leading the charge in new opportunities and connections. These shows have become vital platforms for networking, learning, and showcasing our industry’s innovations, and their growing popularity is a testament to the vibrancy of our community.
One of the most exhilarating developments is the official groundbreaking for our world-class training centre. This facility will soon become a cornerstone of our commitment to education and professional development, and the excitement within our association is palpable. We are entering an era where we can enhance skills and knowledge across all levels, ensuring our members are equipped for success in a rapidly evolving landscape.
Our ongoing work in advocacy and relationship-building with government and industry partners has also yielded positive results. By fostering these crucial connections, we are positioning ourselves to not only address current challenges but also to seize future opportunities. Landscape Ontario is in an exceptional place, ready to pounce on what’s next, and I am optimistic about what lies ahead for our association.
I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible opportunity to serve as your president. This role has allowed me to reconnect and engage with so many of you, strengthening our visibility and sense of community. It has been a true honour to witness our collective efforts toward a brighter future.
Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication. Together, we will continue to thrive, innovate, and champion our industry.
Here’s to a bright future for Landscape Ontario!
Ed Hansen
President 2024-2025
