Please join OPPI Northern District in our continuing Lunch and Learn series as we welcome Glen Ferguson, RPP, Senior Planner at the City of Greater Sudbury as he explores the City of Greater Sudbury's recently adopted incentive-based "path of least resistance" approach to engaging in public consultation on proposed radio-communication and broadcasting antenna systems in our local communities. A key question that needs to be answered is it really possible to balance the interests of antenna system proponents with local land use planning concerns and preferences? Glen will present an approach that Planners can use in our practice.

Asset management is about risk management. It’s also a complex balancing act – balancing customer expectations with affordability. Join us in this advanced course where we will drill down to explore how to weigh risk alongside levels of service. In this interactive workshop, participants will discover how to assess risks related to climate change (and other factors) and how to use risk to prioritize assets for lifecycle activities. Through a case study, participants will explore how to determine current levels of service for various asset categories and identify how to establish clear priorities for proposing levels of service that are achievable and affordable, now and into the future.Cost: $105+HST (light lunch included)Registration Page:https://www.ospe.on.ca/mpower/event/loadevent.action?e=1470#home
