Calling all Young Professionals and New Planners!
We’ve assembled a panel of seasoned professionals who love sharing their experiences and stories to join us for a session geared specifically towards young professionals, planners who are just starting out, and students thinking about planning. Now is your chance to ask about that weird subdivision application you’ve received and learn what the most interesting land use bylaw definition our panelists have come across in their years of practice.

Your participation at the session is important and we will be looking to you to ask questions of our panelists. We would also strongly encourage you to submit any questions you have in advance to [email protected].

APPI Webinar - Managing In-person and Online Conflict

March 16, 12:00 - 1:00 PM Register

Planners are often on the front line as they deal daily with the public and municipal councils, engaging stakeholders in an increasingly volatile environment. As consultation becomes more polarized, finding ways to de-escalate conflict while holding space for valuable feedback is challenging. Join senior members of Argyle’s Alberta team of engagement and communications professionals for a webinar that will provide you with practical tips and tools to manage conflict, misinformation and outrage, both in-person and online, ensure you’re still engaging impacted stakeholders and put boundaries in place to protect your team and your reputation.
