AACIP 2009 - Fort McMurray

A Different Kind of Conference

This conference presents one of our greatest opportunities to share and learn from each other as practicing professionals, as well as embrace new ideas and alternative perspectives. Our theme this year of making it work making it last making it home directly addresses the challenges that we face as planners in improving regulatory practices and public education, in sustaining the environment and natural resources, and in molding cities and towns into true communities that people will call home.

A Different Kind of Community

For this reason, it could not be more perfect that Fort McMurray a city experiencing all of these challenges should host this conference for the first time ever. A young town with an average age less than 32, Fort McMurray is the engine that drives the economy for much of the province and the country, and is at the forefront in implementing new planning concepts and development partnerships.

A Great Opportunity

No other community offers the opportunity for professional development like Fort McMurray does. Home to the oil sands, the region has experienced unprecedented growth over the last decade. Visitors will not only see the challenges present in this abundant region, but also the rewards. This is a chance to see, learn, and understand about the massive industrial, residential, recreational, and commercial projects that are being developed in Wood Buffalo.
