Planning for Change
This year’s workshop theme is “Planning for Change.” In addition to all of the sessions around the CCP basics, we will explore the ways in which planning has changed over the last few years - everything from how we are engaging members to responding to climate realities to rebuilding wellness in our people. First Nation-to-First Nation learning and capacity building are the anchoring principles of this workshop. Facilitators and presenters are experienced planners from a wide range of backgrounds and communities across the province.
