In 2002, four landscape architects, led by John Laird, sat down to create an association of Landscape Architects for Nunavut. We had a vision for the association – we wanted to ensure it reflected Nunavut’s unique landscapes and culture, and we saw an opportunity to advance the profession. But, for Nunavut’s landscape architects, it was not enough to simply have an Association. We wanted to share our north with others, and so for the first time, the CSLA Congress is being held ‘North of 60’.

It is our goal to introduce you to being ‘on the land’, to celebrate and provide understanding of the strong connections between people and landscape, and develop a dialogue on the different roles Landscape Architects offer from their own regional context.

over the next several days the Congress will bring you to locations throughout the city and beyond its borders. These places will be the jumping off point for discussions of national significance such as the documentation of cultural landscapes in Canada; the politics of landscape; place and the meaning of landscape; and the role of Landscape Architects in cross-cultural settings. As the CSLA’s first ‘twitter’ Congress, you’ll be able to monitor the discussions, revisit each speaker’s presentation on YouTube and carry on the conversations you started here long after you’ve returned home.

on behalf of the Nunavut Association of Landscape Architects, and the 2011 CSLA Congress Committee, we welcome you to Iqaluit, the capital city of Canada’s newest Territory.

Nakurmiik.

WelCome To The 2011 Congress

on behalf of the government of Nunavut, I am very pleased to welcome you to our beautiful territory.

Here in Nunavut our environment is inextricably connected to who we are as a people. Less than a century ago, everything we needed to survive – food, clothing and shelter – came directly from the land. While our way of life has undergone tremendous change, our connection to the land remains the cornerstone of our culture.

Facing the uncertainties of climate change and the possibility of new arctic shipping routes through an ice-free northwest passage, the north continues to change at a rapid rate. More than ever, we face an immense responsibility to safeguard our fragile environment for future generations.

As landscape architects, you understand this responsibility and the importance of planning and design to ensure the sustainable conservation of our environment. I hope your time in Nunavut encourages new solutions for design, management, and conservation. May you be inspired by our landscape and the people who have lived off our land for centuries.

Tunngasugitsi! I wish you a very productive conference.

Sincerely,

The Honourable eva AariakPreMIer oF NuNAvuT

on behalf of the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects, and the host Committee, Nunavut Association of Landscape Architects, welcome to the CSLA Congress, “on the Land”.

This congress will be like no other. It will truly be unique and celebrate a unique people, in a unique place, who have developed a unique relationship between man and the land.

As you will find in this Congress program, the array of speakers and events that the organizing committee has put in place is impressive. I encourage you all to attend and participate in the educational sessions. To also explore the land and the local culture: to learn the ways of the Inuit, to see the many lessons we can learn; and, to seek to apply these to our work, in our attempts to link culture and ecology in the way landscape architects plan sustainable landscapes and sustainable communities.

The City of Iqaluit and Council value the contributions that landscape architecture can make to the fabric of a community and we are honoured to host a gathering of professionals who are committed to the development of beautiful and healthy communities.

Yours truly,

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Cornelia Oberlander and Gino Pin

A Conversation on Working in Inuvik

Cornelia Oberlander, FCSLA, FASLA and Gino Pin, Architect, will discuss their project partnerships.

In the words of the governor general in presenting the order of Canada, Cornelia Hahn Oberlander is “Canada’s premier landscape architect, she is known for integrating her designs in the overall architectural project with the natural environment, yet always adding a unique new vision and dimension. Her expert technical knowledge is coupled with her concern for expressing cultural, social and environmental concepts in her work

10

and is reflected in her many projects for the young, the old, and for the public at large.”

over the past 60 years Cornelia oberlander has collaborated as Landscape Architect in a wide range of public and private projects with noted internationally acclaimed architects such as renzo Piano, Moshe Safdie and the late Arthur erickson. Cornelia has always been mindful of the environment and is a leader in researching green solutions. Her projects bring together the art and science of the profession, and are based on the social, cultural and physical features of a given site.

In June 2011, the IFLA bestowed Cornelia with their highest honor, the Sir geoffrey Jellicoe Award, recognizing a living landscape architect whose lifetime achievements and contributions have had a unique and lasting impact on the welfare of society and the environment and on the promotion of the profession of landscape architecture.

Gino Pin has been living, designing, and building in the north for 40 years, which has given him an intimate knowledge of the physical and social conditions of the North and the unique technical demands placed on buildings in extreme conditions. In his designs, gino strives to ensure

projects work in concert with nature, minimizing visual and physical impact on their surroundings while enhancing their roles as civic spaces. gino has garnered extensive experience in master planning and community facilities development while maintaining continuous dialogue with users and clients.

Following a 12 year period with the GNWT’s department of Public Works, gino formed gino Pin Architect which became Pin/Matthews and subsequently Pin/Taylor Architects in 2002. He has designed landmark buildings in communities throughout the north. He believes that each community has a unique social dynamic and deep-rooted history that requires an individual approach for each project. His style reflects the climate, the requirements for the building and the building materials that are found in the north. Gino’s work reflects a love and respect for the unique beauty of the northern landscape and its ever-changing moods.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Matty McNair

The Secrets of Polar Travel

Iqaluit’s Matty McNair is recognized internationally as the top woman polar guide in the world. She has journeyed to both Poles and set several very impressive world records. She guided the ultimate North expedition; a dog sledding journey from Cape Columbia to the North Pole, arriving at the North Pole in just under robert Peary’s 1909 record time of 37 days proving that his disputed dash was possible.

After leading 2 expeditions to the South Pole, Matty returned in 2004-5 with her daughter Sarah (18) and son eric (20) who became the youngest in the world to ski to the South Pole. Matty and Sarah are the first Canadian women to ski all the way to the South Pole. Matty and her son, eric (who both have duel citizenship) were the first Americans to ski all the way to the South Pole unsupported and un-resupplied. They kite-skied back in a world record of 17 days, which has since been

shortened to 5 days!

Matty is the author of “on Thin Ice; A Women’s Journey to the North Pole”, written after a grueling 82-day British women’s relay to the North Pole. She has an infectious zest for life, a creative mind, a lateral problem solving approach to challenges and a great sense of humor.

In lieu of gifts, session speakers will be honoured with a donation in their name to reACH, and during the gala dinner an auction of donated Inuit artworks will raise funds for the Niqinik Nuatsivik Nunavut Food Bank, an organization strongly supported by NuALA’s founding President, the late John Laird, FCSLA.

reACH

The r.e.A.C.H FuNdrASINgINg CAMPAIgN is committed to raising awareness and funds for much-needed, new recreation facilities in Iqaluit. The priority project is a new Aquatics Centre which will serve the entire population from children and youth to adults and elders. The r.e.A.C.H. Fundraising Campaign is working to enhance and improve the health, well-being and quality of life of all in the community. Through the generosity of residents, businesses and community-minded organizations, the campaign will raise awareness and funds for the development of these recreational facilities. Newly constructed recreational

facilities will help increase Iqaluit’s ability to develop new programs and services that better respond to community needs both today and in the future. New facilities that are accessible will be welcomed by elders, persons with disabilities, and young families. Indoor recreation activities are essential in helping people stay active and healthy during Iqaluit’s long, cold winter months and provide opportunities for families to participate in recreational activities together.

NIQINIK NuATSIVIK NuNAVuT FooD BANK

For the past 11 years, the Niqinik Nuatsivik Nunavut Food Bank has been fighting community hunger one person at a time. operating out of Iqaluit, the Niqinik Nuatsivik Nunavut Food Bank is the territory’s largest not for profit volunteer food bank. The Food Bank opens its doors every two weeks, and typically serves over 100 clients, many of whom are picking up food for families of four or more. This number peaks to over 150 clients during the winter season when less people live off the land and supplement incomes and food sources in traditional ways. Although numbers vary, over the past 10 years Niqinik Nuatsivik Nunavut Food Bank have directly distributed in excess of 25,000

bags of food to Nunavummiut; many of whom represent the children, youth and elders of our community.

each year the Board of directors and volunteers hope to see a reduction in demand for our services, but sadly the demand only grows. In fact, since its inception in 2000, the demand for the service has grown an estimated 200%. despite this, the Board and volunteers

remain steadfast in their belief that hunger should not be an option for Nunavummiut. However, relying 100% on community donations and fundraising activities, the Niqinik Nuatsivik Nunavut Food Bank struggles each year to keep up with the costs associated with the growing demand for the service and the ever increasing price of food. Adding to this struggle is the lack of any stable funding source.

Landscape Architecture Canada Foundation (LACF) supports the digital communications and archiving initiative of the CSLA Congress

each year the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects annual Congress is planned and organized by one of the Provincial or Territorial component associations. The Congress is an opportunity for Landscape Architects to come together for educational, business and social networking. The event typically attracts between 100 to 250 members of the profession.

The Nunavut Association of Landscape Architects (NuALA), in partnership with the Northwest Territories Association of Landscape Architects (NWTALA), received a grant from LACF to develop a conferencing tool that will allow for digital archiving of the 2011 Congress, and establish a process for digital conferencing for future Congress hosts. This will ensure lasting archival reference material for the CSLA and Congress. This project includes digital recording of sessions and the creation of a web based archive, allowing remote viewers to access the conference events.
