Programme Updates
Planning Degree Programme
The Planning Program was again accredited by the Alberta Association Canadian Institute of Planners. The Program works closely with the Profession and wishes to acknowledge the support that it received from the previous chair of the Practice Review Committee, Nancy Marshall. Nancy, an EVDS graduate, is off to Australia to pursue PhD studies. We wish Nancy the best of luck. The new chair is Ron Wrigley, another EVDS graduate, and we look forward to working with Ron who is already active in our teaching program
The Program has finished its assessment of the delivery of its redesigned curriculum. In concert with alumni as well as the Profession changes have been made and we look forward to another successful year. Please call Tom Harper at 220-3629 for further information on the new curriculum. We wish to thank Brenda Naylor for her hard work on the curriculum redesign process.
