OPPI 2010 Symposium
Message from the Symposium Chair - Wayne Caldwell
Healthy Communities and Planning for Food - A Harvest of Ideas
OPPI Symposium - October 28 & 29, 2010 - Guelph
OPPI’s Healthy Communities, Sustainable Communities initiative and the corresponding release of PLANNING BY DESIGN: a healthy communities handbook have brought much focus to planning for healthy, walkable communities, however, there is more to be done.
The symposium will examine the many issues associated with food and how this relates to the planning profession and other key stakeholders interested in fostering healthy and sustainable communities.
This two-day event will address the issues from both an urban and rural planning perspective. Speakers come from a wide variety of backgrounds who are knowledgeable about planning for food. There is also a second day of intensive training workshops that will focus on the symposium topic. These sessions will allow attendees to further explore issues and actively participate in discussions.
Over 300 planning professionals and participants are expected to attend this year. The Symposium attracts a wide range of suppliers, service providers, government agencies, educators and private sector planning and development consultants.
