Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

The Canadian planning profession has an ethical responsibility to work for the public good. Applying an equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) lens to all levels of planning practice is required to confront and address systemic racism and discrimination in the governance systems, practices, and policies that planners implement, create, and influence.

In 2018, CIP identified social equity as one of five policy priorities, and since then, the Institute has taken steps to achieve its aspiration of being a trusted voice in EDI. Following several months of research and consultation, CIP's Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Roadmap was approved in June 2020 to provide a structured, measurable, and systematic approach to embed EDI into the Institute and across the planning profession.
