Community Experiences

"A sober, independent, objective opinion is such an opportune thing that I think every municipality should take advantage of it."
- Richard White, Director of the Community Development Department City of North Vancouver

Since 2008 SPC facilitators and staff have been working with communities of all sizes all over British Columbia on their long-term sustainability challenges. Please visit the links below for a snapshot of some of the work Smart Planning has been doing around the Province.

These community stories and media excerpts provide examples of both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of program delivery and insight into the relationships SPC builds with local and First Nations governments.

This is not a comprehensive overview — for more examples of our work or to find out how your community can connect with SPC please, .
