Adapting to the Future of Planning in BC - Governance, Housing and Decision-making under the New Legislative Framework
Thursday Nov 6 and Thursday Nov 13 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.
Eligible for PIBC CPL units. Review PIBC's CPL reporting guidelines here.

This two-part online workshop explores how municipal planning governance, decision-making, and operational practice in British Columbia are evolving in response to recent provincial legislative changes and increasing housing expectations.

We will examine both the broader structural changes reshaping land use planning in BC and the practical realities local governments face in adapting their processes, expectations, and decision-making approaches to respond to housing pressures.

Brief presentations will introduce key themes and provide shared context, while most of each session will focus on facilitated discussion, practical reflection, and peer learning in a single-group environment.

The format is intentionally conversational and designed to encourage meaningful dialogue between participants with diverse planning experiences and perspectives.

Optional advance readings will be provided.
