During the 2020 fall semester’s design studio, the third year bachelor of landscape architecture students developed submissions for the 2021 province-wide OSSGA (Ontario Stone, Sand, and Gravel Association) student design competition [1]. This year’s site was the CBM Codrington aggregate pit located in Northumberland County. Students proposed designs for the rehabilitation of the site upon closure. 

 The winners of the competition were announced at the OSSGA AGM in February, 2021. BLA students won the top six awards – a clean sweep! Congratulations to the entire BLA3 class and to their instructors Kendall Flower and Karen Landman.
