About Aislin Aislin Livingstone, MLA student with Colleen Mercer Clarke presenting the Klynstra Scholarship on behalf of APALA Aislin describes herself as passionate about design but with a pragmatic world view. Her interests in environmental planning and design took root at an early age, while she was growing up in an isolated tourist and fishing town in Costa Rica. Her world view has been enriched by life, work and study in diverse places, which will continue with the winter semester on exchange at Wageningen UR, the Netherlands. We look forward to her contributions to landscape architecture in Atlantic Canada.About the Peter Klynstra Memorial Scholarship
