Subject Matter Experts

As part of our ongoing media outreach, PIBC has developed list of Subject Matter Experts. The knowledge and experience of our Subject Matter Experts is being offered to assist journalists in accessing information related to current and topical planning issues and stories.

Members of the media are invited to connect with a select group of volunteer PIBC members and Registered Professional Planners who have significant experience, expertise, and knowledge in variety of areas of planning practice.

PIBC member Subject Matter Experts can be an excellent source of background information, expert opinion, planning research, and general comment on planning issues and topics. Please keep in mind, however, that these Subject Matter Experts are being offered as a service to the media. They will provide their individual perspective as professional planners only, and do not speak for the profession or PIBC in an official capacity.

Inquiries regarding PIBC and its activities, or requests for official comment on behalf of PIBC should be directed through the PIBC Executive Director. Or call PIBC Tel: 604.696.5031  Toll Free: 1.866.696.5031
