The City of Ottawa offers Planning Primer sessions (free of charge) to help residents become more aware of, and more involved in, the land-use planning process.
The core course describes the legislative and policy basis under which land-use planning decisions are made, the way policy documents are amended and how to make a development application.
The sessions are led by planning staff. Electronic copies of the course materials will be available to participants electronically.
The following sessions will be offered online and are now open for registration:
