Fall2021 Pragma Council Conference

November 8 - 2:00pm to 3:00pm

In conversation with Planner-in-Residence Jay Pitter

What a great event!!

The 2021 Induction Ceremony was an absolute success. We are so proud of all our new students in Planning that will become the next generation of Planners. We would like to thank all of those who attended and those who made this event possible.  A big thank you to Dr.

The annual ACSP Conference will be held virtually again this year in two segments! October 7^th will focus on the theme of climate justice and the 21-23 will focus on anti-racism.

The School of Planning welcomed our incoming undergraduate & graduate students! On September 10^th, over 115 students attended the School’s virtual events to welcome incoming students to Canada’s largest planning school. At the undergraduate event, new students met faculty and staff, PSA co-presidents offered words of wisdom, advisors shared resources for student success, and the event wrapped up with a website-wide scavenger hunt (featuring prizes!).
