Landscape Horticulturist
Background:
The Apprenticeship and Trades Qualifications Act and General Regulations were proclaimed on July 1, 2003. Subsequently, all existing trade regulations need to be reviewed to ensure they meet the needs of industry under the current Act. The Board established an ad hoc advisory committee in October 2008 to create a trade regulation for the Landscape Horticulturist trade. On March 31, 2009, Landscape Horticulturist became a designated trade in Nova Scotia without regulation.
Purpose:
To develop a new regulation for the Landscape Horticulturist trade.
