2024 MPPI Planning Summit & Quiz Night
The theme for the day is Acceleration: Shifting Gears in Housing. This 1-day event will provide an opportunity for planners and other interested professionals to immerse themselves in a day of learning with some of Manitoba’s preeminent housing experts. The event will include speakers and panels discussing key issues and approaches to solving Manitoba’s housing crises. Perspectives will be included from all sectors including market-rate greenfield and infill as well as the affordable and deeply affordable housing sectors.
The goal is to provide a forum for a diverse group of people all working towards a common goal of housing Manitobans. In partnership with the University of Manitoba Department of City Planning, the Summit will conclude with a Quiz Night, hosted by Quizmasters. The event will provide 6 CPLs for MPPI members. One additional CPL will be received to those who stay for the quiz night!
