The University of Toronto Planning Alumni Committee (PAC) and the Department of Geography & Planning are pleased to invite alumni, faculty, and fellow city builders to the 24th Annual Friends of Planning Social.
This year we look forward to hosting our first-ever virtual event, continuing the PAC tradition of providing a platform to highlight a pivotal planning topic. We are delighted to have Jay Pitter provide a keynote address entitled "Safe in the City: Unpacking the complex environmental and social dimensions of urban safety."
Jay Pitter, MES, is an award-winning placemaker and author whose practice mitigates growing divides in urban centres across North America. Recently, Jay consulted on Edmonton’s heritage plan; co-developed the City of Toronto's new shelter design guidelines, delivered a professional development process at UN Women headquarters in New York City; and led (RE)IMAGINING CHEAPSIDE, a Confederate monument placemaking process in Lexington, Kentucky. She is currently teaching an inclusive placemaking and planning course at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Architecture and has been named the John Bousfield Distinguished Visitor in Planning by the University of Toronto for the 2019-2020 academic year. In the upcoming months, Jay’s HER City project will engage women in public space audits and play. Her forthcoming book, Where We Live, will be published by McClelland & Stewart in 2021.
The U of T Planning Alumni Committee is comprised of volunteer members. All proceeds from this event are used to enrich the learning experiences of graduate planning students and foster connections between students and the professional planning community.

If you are comfortable going out and meeting with fellow planners, then join Eastern District for a Fall Social from 12 to 2 p.m. on Friday, October 2 at Tavern on the Hill in Ottawa.
To comply with the governments’ guidelines and regulations for COVID-19, we chose this venue as it is a large outdoor space that is perfect for social distancing but at the same time allows for reconnecting with each other. In addition, the restaurant has its own specific rules to make sure we are all safe.
Remember to bring your facial mask as they are required when social distancing is not possible. Additionally, please complete the self-screening questionnaire before the event and stay home if you feel unwell.
This event is free of charge; however, we ask that you register beforehand so that we know how many planners to expect.
For drinks and food, please check the restaurant’s menu and beverage list.
Sam Lawrence Park is situated at the top of the Niagara Escarpment and is one of Hamilton’s most notable parks. It is best known for its panoramic views of the Lower City, the Dundas Valley and Lake Ontario. Over the last two years the City of Hamilton undertook the development of a Master Plan for the park to act as a ‘blueprint’ for future park improvement projects.
Please join us on a walking tour as we explore the park’s storied history, the issues/challenges currently affecting the site, and how the park may better-serve Hamiltonians in the years to come.
Cost: Suggested donation of $10, collected at the
tour. Proceeds will go to 541 and Hamilton Centre for Civic Inclusion.
