The clocks have been turned back one hour, the days are getting shorter, the Halloween candy has been put away for yet another year and planning students everywhere across this land are in the thick of their academic semesters, writing mid-terms or working on literature reviews, or immersing themselves in studio projects.

Andrew Curran, CIP/ICU Student Representative

On behalf of the Canadian Institute of Planners I wish you all well in these heroic efforts. It is time now, though, to take a little breather, make yourself some hot fair-trade cocoa and find some respite from your struggles in this mid-term edition of Plan2Plan, Canada’s student planning e-newsletter.

In this issue we hear an update on the lively discussions happening at the Planners for Tomorrow (P4T) e-dialogue, we find a field correspondence from CIP WorldLink Intern Tom Janzen doing post-conflict planning in Bosnia and Herzegovina, we learn about the cutting-edge student research presented at the this year’s CIP National Conference, and we are shocked-and-awed by the plethora of events and opportunities available to planning students in the coming months.

All the best!

Andrew
