Annual Report

The Council's 2008-09 Annual Report is an overview of all of the work we’ve undertaken and completed over the past year to:

• identify Recruitment and Retention solutions to build Canada's agriculture labour force;
• advance the Skills and Training of employers and employees;
• increase Awareness of agriculture's HR issues and CAHRC initiatives;
• ensure CAHRC is Representative, Responsive, Connected and Results-Based; and
• operate CAHRC in a Fiscally Responsible manner.

National Occupational Standard and Essential Skills profile of a Landscape Horticulturist

The National Occupational Standard and Essential Skills profile of a Landscape Horticulturist describes the skills, knowledge and abilities required to perform the duties of a Landscape Horticulturist. Occupational standards can be used for a variety of purposes, including: acting as the basis for training; curriculum development; accreditation of training programs; recruitment; performance improvement; career development and the certification of practitioners. This publication was developed by CAHRC and industry professionals, as part of the Occupational Standards and Learning Tools for the Ornamental Sector pilot project.

The critical path for developing the above-noted National Occupational Standard and on-the job learning materials were recently published in booklet and illustrative formats.
