On August 25, CIP hosted the webinar “Planning for Disaster Resilience,” which looked at how we can plan communities that are more resilient while building capacity and managing risk.

While National Indigenous History Month gives us a chance to continue our journey of learning and reflection, the work in supporting Indigenous communities does not end on the last day of the month. To help conclude the National Indigenous History Month, as well as to update members who may have missed our NIHM events, our Policy, Public Affairs and Projects Assistant pulled together a summary of events, takeaways, and useful resources for planners in the following article.

CIP is pleased to announce the winners and honourable mention recipients of the 2021 Plan Canada Award. Congratulations to Amina Yasin and Daniella Fergusson RPP, MCIP for this year’s award-winning article “Pandemic Patios and “Flat White” Urbanism.” 

CIP is pleased to collaborate with the City of Edmonton on the webinar “Zoning, Equity, and Human Rights: Lessons from Edmonton.” 

The Climate Risk Institute (CRI), in partnership with CIP, is excited to announce a new NRCan BRACE-funded training program to bring additional in-depth climate change adaptation and resilience training to professional planners in the Prairies. 

Every June, Canada celebrates National Indigenous History Month to honour the history, heritage, and diversity of Indigenous peoples in Canada. This occasion also provides an opportunity to recognize the strength of present-day Indigenous communities.
