Landscape Ontario is pleased to announce the recent addition of Amy Buchanan as Event Coordinator to the home office staff in Milton, Ont.

Buchanan brings 15 years of experience in event management to LO’s trade show department, helping with Congress and as the point of contact for LO’s Awards of Excellence Program, Lighting Conference, Lecture Event and Growers Industry Auction.

The Industry Auction on Sept. 16 was Buchanan’s first LO event. “The Industry Auction was probably the most fun event I have ever done. [The growers] all know what they are responsible for and they just jump right in,” Buchanan said.

A graduate of the Special Event Management Certificate program at Humber College, Buchanan previously worked on the continuing legal education program for the Ontario Bar Association and on the Canadian conference program for the Canadian Institute — an organization that offers conferences to the energy, insurance, financial and health care sectors, to name a few.

A resident of Milton, Buchanan enjoys playing baseball and reading. She is looking forward to witnessing “the grand scale” of LO’s Awards Ceremony at Congress, and after seeing the inspiring entries from LO members, she has recently taken up gardening as well.

Amy Buchanan can be reached at 905-875-1805, ext. 2329 or by email at abuchanan@landscapeontario.com.
