The Landscape Architecture program is hosting a class of 30 high school students from Sir John A. MacDonald Collegiate Institute for a "Reach Ahead" day on Friday, February 24th. In the morning, Professor Nathan Perkins will be giving a talk about the Landscape Architecture program and what landscape architects do. In the afternoon, the students will be doing a mini design charrette in the studio. Students will be working on a design project on their school courtyard and we are looking for volunteers to help with everything from design concepts to graphics.

The schedule of the day's events on February 24th are:

10:30 am - Students Arrive
10:30 - 12:00 am - Nathan Perkin's Presentation
12:00 - 1:00 pm - Lunch
1:15 - 3:00 pm - Mini Design Charrette (student volunteers needed!)

The School of Environmental Design and Rural Development (SEDRD) brings together major academic fields concerned with creating strong communities, in Canada and around the world. The four highly respected programs in SEDRD share many common goals but approach them in different and complementary ways. This model reflects the imperatives in building authentic communities where planners, landscape architects, communicators, and citizens all play important interdependent roles in community strength.
