Welcome to the PIBC Peer Learning Network
Empowering planners, practitioners and partners through shared knowledge and collaboration.
What's New
PIBC is delivering three research projects to meet the needs of planners and practitioners in British Columbia.
PLN Webinar #14 - Regional Support for Small-Scale Housing Delivery on June 23
Register here and join us on June 23 for a PIBC Peer Learning Network special webinar where you will learn about the key findings from a PIBC / Small Housing BC joint project. Our speaker, Tamara White (Co-Executive Lead, Planning Innovation) from Small Housing BC, will discuss key issues and opportunities in different parts of British Columbia to facilitate more small-scale multi-unit housing.
PIBC Intelligent Inventory
Learn more about the updated PIBC Intelligent Inventory. This tool is intended to empower planners and practitioners to efficiently query, analyze, and compare policies and regulations between communities. Currently, the PIBC Intelligent Inventory includes additional Official Community Plans and zoning bylaws for local governments in BC. PIBC retained NeuraCities, in association with MODUS Planning, Design & Engagement, to undertake the work.
