George's landscaping projects, which include university and corporate campuses and a major green roof for the new Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, are equally respectful of existing natural features and ecological conditions.

As a member of the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership's Outdoor Committee, he understands the importance of private sector investment, job creation, and developing Ontario tourism. A skilled facilitator, he has worked with numerous communities to help formulate future visions that are both inspirational and achievable.
In recent years, George has built up a significant body of work in the Middle East. He was responsible for the master plan and landscape design for the 83-acre King Abd al Aziz Historical Centre and National Museum of Saudi Arabia in Riyadh. Subsequently, George headed a team of landscape architects and engineers to undertake the Wadi Hanifah Comprehensive Development Plan to rehabilitate the most significant natural drainage system in central Saudi Arabia.
