Supporting community and regional planning processes.
Our Values
The Community Social Planning Council is a values-driven organization. Underlying its work is a shared belief:
-
In the attainability of a healthy, sustainable, just, and vibrant community
-
That accurate and accessible information is a tool for positive social change
-
That marginalized voices need to be part of social planning processes
-
In the necessity of a broad-based process of reconciliation with Indigenous communities
-
That meaningful community engagement and respect for diversity and inclusion are critical components of a socially sustainable region

Social policy development needs to acknowledge the critical and increasing points of connection between climate change, energy policy, and infrastructure development.
