Where to go to school for hardscaping?

So here's my story, ever since I was a kid I've been interested in landscaping and it's all I've ever wanted to do as a career. I'm 19 now and have worked a year for a landscape contractor doing mostly hardscaping installs. That's where my main interest lies, in installs, not in turf management or horticulture. It's a dream of mine to eventually start a business of my own but I know that's years off. I'd like to go to school first of all but I can't seem to find a good program here in Canada. Most are geared towards horticulture with a small part thrown in covering installs. I do want to gain some knowledge in horticulture so I don't end up having to sub everything out eventually but like I said, hardscaping is what I want to do.

So my questions are mostly geared towards the guys in Canada, how did you get started? Do you know of any good schools I should look into?
