On October 17, our department had the pleasure of hosting two city-building events in the newly opened expansion of the National Arts Centre.
Our first event, the City Building Forum brought together a wide range of city-building organizations, agencies and stakeholders in an afternoon of discussion, networking and thought provoking interactive speeches. This forum created a collaborative networking environment for city-building organizations during this unprecedented period of transformation in our city.
Our guest speakers included:
- Stephen Willis, General Manager, Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department, City of Ottawa
- Laine Johnson, Acting Executive Director, Synapcity, and
- Benjamin Gianni, Associate Professor, Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism, Carleton University
Special thanks to all our guest speakers and Master of Ceremonies, Councillor Jan Harder. |
