PIBC 2021 Annual Conference - Whitehorse, Yukon
PIBC's 2021 Annual Conference will be held June 15th to 18th at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre in Whitehorse, Yukon. The tagline for this year’s conference is planning North of Normal.
PLANNING NORTH OF NORMAL
Physical distancing, the closure of public buildings and local businesses, the climate crisis and Black Lives Matter protests; people's ability to operate, communicate, and go about their daily lives have been disrupted in 2020. The evolving response to this new reality has significantly changed most of our relationships within Yukon and BC communities and with our neighbours.
To mitigate social, environmental, and economic fallout, it is more important now than ever for industry, communities, First Nations, and governments to come together to ensure that planning and community-building continue to protect the
land, support livelihoods, and strengthen our connections to one another and the places we live.
This conference is about planning North of Normal; it’s about planning in wilderness communities, storytelling, First Nations-led planning, and building healthy communities.
As northerners, we have often found unusual ways to tackle our problems and, at this conference, we want to focus on planning that is North of Normal with the following themes:
- Planning for the New Normal
- Living with Nature
- Planning Stories
- First Nations Planning
- Building Healthy Communities
