Join CIP for the first edition of the new Plan Canada Webinar Series! Listen as authors from the most recent issue share more insights from their articles and dive deeper into the theme, looking at the points of intersection and difference between their work, and taking members’ questions live.

The Spring 2023 webinar will look at “Housing Choice and Affordability” as mounting concerns about affordability are occupying headlines and keeping municipal politicians up at night. The challenges, and solutions, include everyone from academics and policy planners, to consultants and planners working for both non-profits and the private sector. But there is no one answer, so come and hear multiple perspectives on this wicked problem.

Each Plan Canada webinar is free to attend and can be used toward your CPL requirements. If you are a CIP member and attend the webinar, your CPL units will be automatically applied to your account, viewable in the Members Area. It does not get easier than that!
