CIP National Conference

We’re excited to be at the CIP National Conference in Toronto this week! Are you around? Come and chat with us.

 It’s been great meeting planning colleagues from near and far. We’ve already learned so much from top-notch planners in the presentations and workshops we’ve attended. We’re especially proud of @Samantha_Biglieri for leading an interactive workshop on her research in Scarborough; Care and Suburbanisms: Diverse Approaches to Dementia Inclusive Communities. We’re also thrilled to shout out @Laura_Llebel_Pantazopoulos for her participation in CIP’s Emerging Leaders program. The future of our profession is bright!

On Thursday, June 12, Robert McQuillan spoke at the City of Toronto’s Planning and Housing Committee meeting, sharing our experience supporting clients through the multiplex development process and offering support for the future of the multiplex built form.

We’re proud to contribute to the evolution of Toronto’s neighbourhoods by helping introduce more diverse and flexible housing options. We’re encouraged by the City’s proposal to expand multiplex permissions to include five- and sixplexes; a meaningful step toward addressing the City’s housing needs while strengthening existing communities.
We’ll be following closely as the Council votes on the next phase of multiplex permissions in July.
