Planning Awards

You take pride in your work.
We take pride in it too. 

APPI’s greatest goal is to promote excellence and professional standards in the field of planning. With our annual APPI Awards, we recognize exceptional work in the planning profession. 

Awards acknowledge exceptional plans and projects, undertaken in whole or in part by members of the Institute, that significantly contribute to the livability of communities in Alberta, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Applications for plans and projects specific to rural and indigenous planning are encouraged. A Certificate of Planning Excellence or a Certificate of Planning Merit may be awarded.
