The award recipient also receives registration and financial support to attend CIP’s National Conference and awards ceremony. Self-nominations are welcome and encouraged.

College of Fellows

Election as a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Planners is the highest award the Institute can give to a planner. This honour recognizes excellence, identifies prominent role models, promotes advances in planning practice, and draws leaders to the forefront of planning in Canada.

CIP Honorary Members

Honorary membership in the Canadian Institute of Planners is the highest honour the Institute can bestow upon a non-planner.
