The planning and development process is of interest to heritage advocates who want to preserve heritage buildings.
Partners In Planning (PIP) is a popular and award-winning series of free courses put on by the Federation of Calgary Communities and City partners to educate the public about the planning process. It is a great opportunity to network with people from other communities and City staff. To complete the PIP Certificate, participants need three core courses plus an elective.
Here is a link to the 2009-2010 PIP brochure:
