The conference theme – weathering the storm
The theme for the 2025 API Conference is inspired by recent challenges experienced by planners across the Atlantic provinces and the country. Between climate change impacts, social discord, the spread of misinformation, a housing crisis, and the aftermath of a global pandemic, it’s been a tough few years in the planning profession. How do planning and the work we do address these challenges?
It’s often during the storm that we see creative and practical solutions arise. Whether it’s an emphasis on community engagement during a municipal plan review or a drastic change in policies to encourage housing construction, the planning profession adapts to challenges to meet the needs of our communities. Come learn how your colleagues are weathering their storms, on an island known for its wild weather!
