P r o p o s a l D e a d l i n e : N o v e m b e r 1 9 Our conference theme, GENERATION, captures the dynamic character of the planning profession and the significant contribution it has made and can continue to make locally, nationally, and globally, as it advances into a second century. c i p - i c u. c a / g e n e r a t i o n 1 0 0 1
Through the theme GENERATION, we acknowledge and recognize: An evolving planning context, strongly associated with the passage of time past, present, and future as well as time-related notions such as life stages, transition, succession, and vision. Alignment with the multigenerational /cyclical worldview of Canada s Indigenous communities, and cultures. A multifaceted planning practice, undertaking meaningful change and creating legacies (positive and negative) in all reaches of the country. Wide-ranging planning outcomes, rooted in best practices and the application of such principles as openness, transparency, inclusiveness, reconciliation, and accountability. The planning professional s overarching aim to foster sustainable, healthy, and resilient communities for current and future generations. The conference theme will also enable the expression of diverse generational voices and will strive to provide some answers to the following questions, among others: How do we reconcile the voices of different generations? How do we plan for future generations? How do we respond to the needs of different generations? 2
