The Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) is a member-based organization for planning professionals across Canada and beyond. Our members work in both the public sector and the private sector, across various fields including land use planning, environmental resource management, land development, heritage conservation, social planning, transportation planning, and economic development. CIP advocates for planners and the priorities of the planning profession and offers a wide range of member services and career development opportunities.
CIP is committed to reconciliation and has recently begun preparing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). The RAP, in its final form, will reflect the role of CIP in building and sustaining strong, respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and communities, with recognition of the connections between land use planning and the historical and ongoing processes of colonization. The RAP will champion transformation both within the Institute and in the programs and services it offers to its nearly 10,000 members.
This opportunity is open to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis artists and graphic designers. CIP would like to develop a suite of visual assets for our RAP. The goal is to create a cohesive visual identity that honours and reflects the diversity of Indigenous cultures across Canada. These assets may be prepared and utilized in support of the RAP and ongoing reconciliation initiatives, including printed reports, digital communications, and educational materials.
