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.
