CIP, in partnership with NRCan a survey on the ‘State of Professional Workforce Knowledge and Skills’ related to climate adaptation

Your input is needed! Participate in Natural Resources Canada’s  ‘State of Professional Workforce Knowledge and Skills’ survey, focused on climate adaptation by Friday, May 12. The survey will serve as an indicator of the current level of knowledge and skills of planning professionals in Canada. 

The results of this survey will set an important benchmark for the planning profession and help to reach the goals outlined in the newly-released National Adaptation Strategy (NAS) which calls for 75% of the members of professional associations, specifically citing planners, to have the “capacity to apply climate change adaptation tools and information and communicate the business case for adaptation measures to their clients” by 2027. The results will also be used to develop climate change adaptation resources and programming that support planners in reaching this goal.

Conducted through Earnscliffe Strategy Group, this survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Results are anonymous and individual responses will not be revealed to any involved parties. We appreciate your time in helping us understand how we can support planners in achieving these goals.

Parks are Like Icebergs - a Vlog

Robert (Bob) Priebe, PhD, Registered Professional Planner (RPP), MCIP

"I have created a free vlog called "Parks Are Like Icebergs." I provide  park site and system planning and park services operationalization advice, as well as commentary on contemporary parks and land use planning issues of the day. My goal is to connect what you see above the ground (i.e., park amenities) to the underlying dynamic processes and factors used in decision-making that create and operationalize the spaces."
