Transforming Canadian communities and Canadian planning
Subject
Abstract
This issue of Plan Canada is part of the legacy of the largest gathering of
Canadian planners ever held. The articl.es are also a testament to the quality and diversity
of planning practice across our country. In July 2001, almost 800 planners met in Ottawa
to discuss their work and hopes for the future. The Canadian Institute of Planners and the
Ontario Professional Planners Institute sponsored an ambitious program for the annual
conference - over 120 speakers at fifty concurrent sessions, eleven mobil.e workshops and
five intensive training workshops. CIP's membership responded by packing the Ottawa
Congress Centre, selling out almost every workshop and tour.
