From the City of Ottawa: the 2010 Planning Primer Program

Have you ever wondered how land-use planning is done? What those black and white signs in your community mean? How a zoning application is made? How to make a presentation to Planning Committee? What land-use planners do for your community?

This is your opportunity to find out.

The Infrastructure Services and Community Sustainability Department is offering a Planning Primer Program to help residents become more aware of, and more involved in, the land-use planning process.

For registration and information please see the City of Ottawa website.
