About the Project
The CLP is a web based digital photographic gallery intended to illustrate Canada's diversity of landscapes by provinces and territories. Compiled from CSLA members' submissions from around the country, the CLP aspires to showcase the various "landscapes" mentioned in the Canadian Landscape Charter, including the ones too often forgotten because of their apparent unimportance. The CLP is not about finding the most picturesque, rare or exhilarating place but more about capturing those significant moments when a close relationship is achieved between the author and a specific landscape.
