Join CIP for the next edition of the Plan Canada Webinar Series! Listen as authors from the most recent issue share more insights from their article, dive deeper into the theme, and take members’ questions live.

Canadians are facing an evolving array of gradual and sudden economic, environmental, and social challenges, with disproportionate consequences across our geography and demographic groups. Having experienced a series of interconnected global, country-wide, and local crises, we have learned several lessons that directly apply to Canada’s institutions and systems. How can planners help this country be resilient?

Disruptions are rarely unforeseen. We’re aware of risk factors and we can plan and prepare for a range of scenarios. Planners are in positions to identify scenarios, connect across disciplines, and provide leadership on risk mitigation and disaster resiliency.
