How to Hire a Planner
OPPI provides a consultant’s directory along with mailing and website services for those wishing to hire planners. These services can help you find employees in many areas of practice and at all levels, be they senior practioners or student planners.
Planners are available to work with homeowners, developers, municipalities, heritage preservation associations, and community and environmental groups. OPPI offers guidelines for individuals and groups seeking to hire a professional planner.
A Registered Professional Planner accredited by OPPI has a university degree, usually in planning or a related area, has a minimum of three years of responsible planning experience, and has met rigorous examination standards.
Registered Professional Planners are required to follow OPPI's Professional Code of Practice. If a planner fails to live up to the Code's ethics and a client complains, OPPI will investigate the matter and, if necessary, discipline the planner.
Planners who are not members of OPPI may practise in Ontario, but they may not call themselves Registered Professional Planners and OPPI does not regulate their activities or ethics.
OPPI maintains a directory of Registered Professional Planners in Ontario who are available for consulting work. To use the directory, specify the kind of planner you need (land use, environmental, transportation, etc.) and the location.
