Today, Canada grieves the passing of Justice Murray Sinclair, a true pillar of hope, love, and light across the nation. His profound work for Indigenous Peoples, especially through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, brought the painful reality of Indian Residential Schools to the forefront, amplifying the voices of over 6,500 survivors and witnesses. His strength and unwavering courage in shedding light on these truths have inspired an entire country. I was fortunate to meet Senator Sinclair virtually through my work, an experience that remains one of the most impactful moments of my career. My heartfelt condolences go out to the Sinclair family and all who knew and loved him.

Last night, I was privileged to attend the World Town Planning Day Gala 2024, held by Planning Institute of British Columbia (PIBC). I not only got the chance to meet and celebrate the experienced (25+ years) and newly designated Registered Professional Planners (RPP) from different areas of the Province of BC, but also I could meet some amazing people in person, who I previously met them virtually. Special thanks to the District of Central Saanich and Jarret Matanowitsch for their exceptional support of my request to attend this event, and get to connect with some great mentors who will be helping me throughout the process of gaining my RPP designation. #professionaldevelopment #urbanplanning #pibc

Speaking last night at the Planning Institute of British Columbia (PIBC) gala for the 75th Anniversary World Town Planning Day (WTPD) was so much fun. We got to honour all professional planners, candidates and students, and to celebrate new PIBC members as well as our illustrious 25-year-service members. Thanks to the organizers and attendees. Special thanks to our wonderful MC Pam Shaw and the great speakers: our new Canadian Institute of Planners President Lesley Cabott and my UBC School of Community and Regional Planning cohort fellow alumna Eve Hou. #cityplanning #regionalplanning #socialplanning #heritageplanning #naturalreourceplanning #communityplanning #longrangeplanning #policyplanning #Indigenouscommunityplanning #developmentplanning #WTPD #WTPD2024 #celebration

PIBC recently completed tasks and actions associated with its Peer Learning Network (PLN) Phase 1 Action Plan. As local governments shift their focus from legislative compliance toward understanding, projecting, and addressing housing needs and proactive planning, PIBC is working to evolve its PLN activities to continue meeting the needs of practitioners across BC. We're excited to share our PLN Phase 2 Action Plan! We will continue to focus on delivering peer education through access to virtual learning opportunities and digital resources, allowing practitioners to access the topic specific resources they need, when they need them. Take a read and share your thoughts or questions on the PLN online discussion forum.
