Ottawa, October 30th, 2018 – The Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP), the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CSLA), Engineers Canada and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) are pleased to announce the signing of a Letter of Understanding.

Through this Letter of Understanding, they have agreed to continually seek opportunities for cross-over, cross-promotion, the sharing of resources and the transfer of knowledge. These include but are not limited to:

  • Hosting speakers from other associations and inviting staff and Board members to attend conferences held by each of the respective association
  • Inviting members from other associations to participate in certain committees, especially on those committees which exist in each association
  • Collaborating on advocacy initiatives involving the promotion of our professions, such as considering adopting each other’s position papers on briefs when interests align and contributing to research
  • Holding regular meetings between Executive Directors or CEOs and relevant staff to discuss common issues and areas of collaboration as well as considering planning a summit of each association’s Executive Directors or CEOs and senior leaders every two years
  • Ensuring that each association receives each other’s magazine, annual report, bulletin and press releases

For many years, these associations have worked together to mutually benefit the allied professions they serve. This Letter of Understanding will ensure that their relationship continues and strengthens, as they explore more – and enhanced – opportunities for exchange and collaboration particularly in responding to today’s pressing issues. Each association strongly believes that this will no doubt be of benefit to all their members and their respective professions and be of benefit to society.
