About Us

Since its inception in 2014, UPLAND has quickly become recognized as a leader in developing locally-owned and innovative planning and design strategies that are as unique as the many Atlantic Canadian communities we are fortunate to work with.
UPLAND provides award-winning planning and design services for the diverse places and communities of Atlantic Canada. We firmly believe that effective planning and design solutions must stem from local experience and leadership. We are collaborators at our core. Our objective for all our projects is to create an open and effective participatory process that is appropriate to the unique context of each community.
We believe that creating vibrant and successful places is a complex process that requires input from many backgrounds and perspectives. Since its inception, UPLAND has intentionally grown into a collective of diverse experiences and perspectives that we, and our clients, are fortunate to benefit from. Professionally, we offer vast experience and expertise in planning, landscape architecture, urban design, public engagement and GIS analytics, and come from both municipal and consulting backgrounds. Our team includes a mix of home-grown Atlantic Canadians and people who have moved here from around the country and world to call this place home. In seven years, UPLAND has become the largest planning consultancy in Atlantic Canada.
