Upper Canada Chapter AGM & Education Meeting

Peter co-founded Oriole Landscaping over 25 years ago with his business partner, George Urvari, starting with the basics, selling and planting trees for Toronto homeowners, in order to put themselves through university. Over the years Peter has worked diligently to build an award-winning firm offering landscape design, construction and project management. His personal mission is to make every client a “raving fan,” and Oriole’s success over the years undoubtedly speaks to this drive to impress.

An active and supportive member of the green industry, Peter has held multiple positions over the years, including Board member for both Canada Blooms and Landscape Ontario, Chair of the Contractor Sector Group and member of the Landscape Canada Committee with the Canadian Nursery and Landscape Association.
