Red Seal Program
The Red Seal Program is the Canadian standard of excellence for skilled trades. Formally known as the Interprovincial Standards Red Seal Program, it sets common standards to assess the skills of tradespersons across Canada. Tradespersons who meet the Red Seal standards receive a Red Seal endorsement on their provincial/territorial trade certificates.
The Program was created following the first National Conference on Apprenticeship in Trades and Industries, which was held Ottawa in 1952. Participants recommended that the provinces and territories ask the federal government to work with their apprenticeship committees and officials to prepare analyses of skilled trades.
Over the years, the program has evolved. Today, it is a forum for interjurisdictional collaboration in support of developing a certified, highly skilled and mobile trades workforce in Canada.
The Landscape Horticulturists profession is included in the Red Seal program along with other trades in Canada. Obtaining a Red Seal endorsement acknowledges a Landscape Horticulturists journeyperson’s competence and quality workmanship.
