We had an exciting day of presentations, workshops and tours. Mayor Carrier welcomed the delegates and gave an interesting and informative background on historical and current development in Collingwood. Darryl Lyons, Senior Planner with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing provided a primer on the Provincial Policy framework with a focus on the day's topic that was most enlightening and presented in Darryl's captivating style.
His presentation began with a fascinating flyover of related areas in Ontario. Kris Menzies, Partner, MHBC, specializes in resort development and has vast knowledge and experience in the subject which she shared with our delegates. Kris began her informative presentation by providing insight into the legislative background affecting such developments and continued by providing many superb examples from of real projects.

As always our afternoon workshops and tours provided an interactive forum for all delegates. Robert Voigt, Acting Senior Planner with the Town of Collingwood illustrated how a small Municipality was able to be creative and innovative in preparing an Urban Design Manual.

The Canadian Association of Certified Planning Technicians held a very successful conference on Heritage Planning entitled "Preserving Our Past". Over 200 registered delegates were able to listen to some of the Province and Country's
experts on the Heritage Act and Heritage Preservation and Development from many points of view. The day also included a tour of many of Hamilton's fine preserved and restored historic buildings plus workshops from CHMC and on Workload
