World Town Planning Day
APPI supports World Town Planning Day (WTPD) as an opportunity to promote better understanding and awareness of Canadian Planners and planning to the local community and all levels of government. WTPD is November 8 of each year. APPI Regional Event Committees are proud ambassadors and host various events to connect planner, public and government.
World Town Planning Day was initiated in 1949 by the late Professor Carlos Maria della Paolera, Argentina, to advance public and professional interest in planning, both locally and abroad. It highlights the valuable contributions that sound planning has made to the quality of the human environment and provides recognition of the ideals of community planning among the profession and the general public worldwide. It is a day to give special recognition to the ideals of community planning which bring professional planners and the general public together.

APPI Call for Volunteers!
Volunteers Wanted for the PSB's Professional Examination
The PSB administers Professional Examination examination to 150+ candidates per year. In order to maintain the rigour of the Professional Examination, we wish to add additional questions to our questions bank to include in future sittings. We are looking for volunteers who are RPPs/MCIPs in good standing (for 7+ years) to provide support for this initiative. The PSB thanks those who responded to our call for volunteers in 2017 and looks forward to working with another group of volunteers over the coming months.
In order to achieve a sustainable question bank for years to come, the PSB and its Professional Education and Examination Committee would like to confirm your interest and advise you of the next steps in the process. To add to our existing question bank, we are asking volunteers to confirm their interest in contributing to this initiative by emailing Nzinga Brown at [email protected].
Central Region Events Committee - APPI is seeking members who are interested in committing themselves to organize and execute events in the Red Deer and surrounding area with APPI Administration. Reply to the APPI office by emailing [email protected].
