Smart Planning Facilitators presented to planning colleagues from around the province at the 2011 PIBC Annual Conference.
The team delivered an interactive session that enabled the participants to hear from each other and discuss their opportunities and concerns, about the principle of integration – one of seven principles on which Integrated Community Sustainability Planning are based.
The facilitators session used graphic recording to track the conversation and had a section where participants noted their ideas and added them to the drawing.

Community-Scale Energy and Greenhouse Gas Modelling Tools
Each case study includes a written and webcast component. The written case study is a downloadable report that describes how the modelling tool was used to help set greenhouse gas reduction targets, policies and actions, and the webcasts are slide presentations narrated by participating local government staff and their consultants.
Preview one of the webcast segments featuring the City of North Vancouver narrated by Emily Adin: Planner - North Vancouver, Caroline Jackson: North Vancouver Community Energy Manager, Alex Boston - HB Lanarc. Download the written North Vancouver Case Study here.
Case studies were also collected from the cities of Colwood, Prince George and more on North Vancouver, as well as the Central Kootenay and Fraser Valley regional districts to show how a variety of modelling tools work.
