Conference Venue: Westin Hotel, Ottawa, Ontario

Ottawa is a 21st-Century city that inspires forward thinking, while keeping you connected to an unforgettable past. Located on unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe Nation, this city is a product of the contributions of generations of people who have left an indelible mark on its present. As the home of the inaugural meeting of the Town Planning Institute of Canada—CIP’s origins—we can think of no better location to share our centenary conference with you.
