Here is a small sample of the incredible time had that day - it truly was a ‘lovely day’. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate! A special shout out to everyone involved in organizing the event, including our staff, the event planner, event staff, vendors, photographer and more, who made the celebration possible!

#SpikePlanApproval #DedicatedSpikeLanes

Thank you to @nativecentre (NCCT) for taking us on one of their First Story Tours last week. Special thanks in particular to our guide Charlie, who took us on an exploration of the deep Canadian Indigenous cultural roots of Tkaronto (Toronto), Ishpadinaa (Spadina Road), and the 60+ years history of the NCCT. We look forward to visiting again in the future!

As we wrap up our time at #CONNECTION2024, our team is reflecting on what an incredible time was had attending and presenting at the conference, connecting with fellow colleagues across the planning industry, learning from the keynote speakers and other planning experts, and exploring #Edmonton.

Thank you @cdnplanners for having us!

We’re thrilled to have a number of Bousfielders speaking at, and attending, this week’s #CONNECTION2024 in #Edmonton. We’re looking forward to connecting with planners from across Canada. We hope to see you there!
