Welcome

Message from the Conference Chair

On behalf of the Ontario Professional Planners Institute (OPPI), I wish to extend my thanks to all of those who attended the 2015 OPPI Conference for one, two, or all three days. Your attendance was instrumental in the event’s success, and it was a pleasure to serve as your Conference chair.
 
I would also like to take this opportunity to express OPPI’s sincere gratitude to the over 100 speakers and OPPI volunteers who have worked hard for more than a year to develop the high quality programming that we have come to expect at an OPPI Conference or Symposium. This educational material is invaluable to OPPI’s members in the ongoing development of their skills as professional planners working in the public interest.
 
In the near future, selected sessions from the Conference will become available through the Institute’s new Digital Learning platform, which is free to access as an OPPI Member.
 
OPPI looks forward to greeting you again next year for the 2016 Symposium in Hamilton, Ontario, entitled Healthy Communities and Planning for the Public Realm, being held on October 5^th & 6^th. The call for presentations for next year’s event will be out soon. Watch OPPI’s website and social media accounts for updates!
 
Sincerely,
 
Audrey Bennett, MCIP, RPP
