WELCOME TO OPPI21

 

---

OPPI Council President, Justine, welcomes you!

You’re invited to OPPI21, Ontario’s largest annual conference for planning professionals.
 
Ontario’s municipalities and the planning community have spent most of 2020 responding to the pandemic.
 
Now. What.
 
At OPPI21, we will explore where we go from here: what it means to move forward in economic development and sustainability, technology, and healing – issues that are fundamental to life in 2021 and beyond.
 
It would be an understatement to say that the last year has been a challenging one. The pandemic has disrupted nearly every aspect of our lives, made us question how we do things, and forced us to adapt.
 
For the planning profession, it has presented an opportunity to redefine the role of professional planners as a vital part of the recovery of Ontario’s communities. We are living in a historic moment of change and we, as professional planners, have an important role in guiding that change to ensure it sets future generations up for success. How we define Now. What. will be marked by our strength, compassion, and resilience.
 
As vaccines roll out and the weather improves, there is reason to be optimistic about our future in a post-pandemic world. Now is the perfect time to come together to network, listen, learn, and grow at OPPI21 so we can continue to inform choices and inspire our communities.
 
We look forward to seeing you at OPPI21 this fall.
 
Justine Giancola, MCIP, RPP
President, Ontario Professional Planners Institute
