Grow Your Professional Network: National Community of Practice on Housing (NEW)

CIP is proud to launch its first National Community of Practice, focused on housing.

This dedicated space brings together planners from coast-to-coast-to-coast to collaborate on some of Canada’s most pressing challenges. Through discussions, resources, and webinars, members can share experiences, explore solutions, and learn from diverse planning contexts across the country. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with colleagues, exchange ideas, and contribute to thought leadership on housing policy and practice in Canada.
