Professor Cecelia Paine was honoured during the 2015 Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CSLA) Congress Gala in Mexico in May.  Cecelia is the recent past president of the Landscape Architecture Canada Foundation (LACF) and was presented with the LACF Recognition Certificate in honour for her almost 30 years on the LACF Board. In 1987, Cecelia was chair of the task force charged with establishing the framework for rejuvenating and renaming the foundation.  Since 1988 she has served on the LACF Board in varying capacities including Secretary, Grants Committee Chair and President, missing only one AGM in Newfoundland in 2004.

Cecelia was presented with a copy of the original 1987 LACF Task Force report and a certificate in appreciation of outstanding leadership and commitment in the promotion of the ideals of the profession. Cecelia will remain on the LACF board of directors for an additional term of 3 years.
