CIP, in collaboration with the Provincial and Territorial Institutes and Associations, will launch the profession’s first Diversity & Inclusion Insight Survey, May 6 - 28, 2021.
The 2021 Census is almost here! As you know, census data are critical to decision makers and Canadians from coast to coast to coast. In addition to informing public policy, census data are vital for planning schools, hospitals, daycare centres, family services, public transportation, and skills training for employment.
CIP is one of seven organizations profiled in the
Sustainable and Just Association Report and
case studies, contributing to an on-going conversation on how associations can engage members and the private sector in influencing and advancing environmental, social, and governance practices.
The Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) is looking for a creative dynamo who will bring their energy, expertise, creativity, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn new things, to a role where they will be supporting CIP’s communications and marketing activities, including external and member communications (social media, website management, and member engagement/outreach).
The theme is a nod to our past, a reflection of our present, and a wink to our future. The Value of One, the Power of Many was the theme for National Volunteer Week in 2001, The International Year of Volunteers. It beautifully reflects the individual and collective efforts, we have seen during the pandemic, and it sets the tone for re-imagining the next 20 years as the value of one act and the power of many enables us to thrive together.

CIP and ACUPP urgently call on the planning profession to help create new positions for planning students and recent graduates.
In September 2019, CIP approved its first-ever Gender Equity Policy, with a vision to, “demonstrate gender equity best practices across its operations and programs, creating a welcoming, inclusive, and fair professional environment with equitable access to resources and opportunities.” Implementation is on-going and always will be; however, since adopting the policy, we’ve held training for the Board of Directors and we’re proud to say that all CIP staff have completed their GBA+ training through the Status of Women. In January 2021, CIP became a signatory of the Government of Canada’s 50-30 Challenge, a framework to accelerate diversity in the leadership of Canadian organizations.
