“Shira developed an excellent concept for a universally accessible playground at Fort Langley National Historic Site. SGA was able to accurately depict Fort Langley’s stories and adapt the original concept to meet the needs of the client while maintaining the integrity of the core concept. Shira was professional with inspiring creativity and we look forward to presenting this concept to the community.”

We highly recommend this landscape architect.”

"Shira worked with us to establish a universally accessible multi use trail connection to one of our most popular park nodes thereby removing a major accessibility barrier in Derby Reach Regional Park. Shira provided an excellent design solution that responded to site circulation, environmental issues, user experience and safety; we completed the project on time, under budget. Shira has the ability to quickly understand the big picture and add value beyond core project goals; we highly recommend SGA.”

“Shira has made a tremendous contribution to the Rick Hansen Foundation’s Let’s Play Project, an initiative focused on the creation of accessible play spaces that are inclusive of children and caregivers with disabilities. Her extensive experience in accessible play space design has had a marked impact on the development of the accessible design principles which underpin our project, especially as they relate to the design of play spaces which are both inclusive and rich in opportunities for imaginative, shared play. Shira has further contributed to Let’s Play through the development of several informative educational resources for groups interested in developing accessible play spaces. Feedback from our grant applicants confirms that the toolkit that Shira designed made their project development process much smoother and inspired applicants to include creative and sensory-rich elements into their designs that they wouldn’t have otherwise considered.”
