Meet at the centennial flame on Parliament Hill.
Parliament Hill is undergoing significant changes and the most construction activity since the rebuilding of Centre Block over a century ago. At the same time, planning is underway to establish a Campus Master Plan that will outline the long-term future of this unique place by defining Parliamentary accommodations, security requirements, circulation, material management, and urban design standards, while promoting environmental sustainability and enhancing the visitor experience. The Campus Planning team of the Science and Parliamentary Infrastructure Branch will lead participants on a walking tour of the area around Parliament Hill, to review the history and evolution of the area, note ongoing projects, and discuss current planning challenges.
After the tour, interested attendees will be invited to continue discussion at an informal social at a nearby pub.

Join Martin Arfalk and Manon Otto of Mandaworks, a Stockholm-based design studio, as they take us on an unpredictable journey to explore the Swedish and Canadian city-building processes. Focusing on the comparison of Stockholm with Ottawa, they will expose similarities, differences, weirdnesses and unexpected consequences in the urban landscape on both sides of the Atlantic.
How are both cities rooted in their natural settings, traditions and cultures? How have they adapted to people's routines, been hacked by trends and stretched by ambitions? Which are the shifts we foresee in both settings and how could they affect our lifestyles, our environments and create need for new visions?

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.
