Registration opens April 1st.  If you are an emerging planner or an established professional looking to augment your practical knowledge, this fast paced, high-level introductory webinar is for you! This webinar offers practical information, delivered succinctly and in a way that planners can understand. Hear from an architect, an engineer and a municipal development planning manager on how to read and interpret:

• Architectural plans;
• Geo-hazard reports; and
• Zoning bylaws & subdivision plans (for technical considerations and compliance)

As well, join us for a demonstration of the B.C. government’s Building Permit Hub, a new free e-permitting tool for local governments and First Nations designed to standardize and streamline the building process. We hope you can join us for this informative webinar!
