Our good friends at UBC’s School of Community and Regional Planning (SCARP) have announced their ninth annual symposium, upcoming on Friday, March 3, 2017. The day-long event is titled Audacity and brings together professionals, academics and students for a full day of discussion on planning issues.

Audacity is about inspiring future planning initiatives, taking a stance against the status quo and demanding a push for new and daring ideas, innovations and actions.
