Canadian Association of Certified Planning Technicians

The Canadian Association of Certified Planning Technicians (CACPT) is a Canadian professional organization in the urban planning, land use planning, transportation planning, urban design, and geographical information systems field.

In March 1978, a Provincial Charter was issued to the Canadian Association of Certified Planning Technicians with a mandate to create an Association that would bring together Planning Technicians throughout Canada.

The association is a non-profit organization and has approximately 415 full, associate and student members in Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Alberta, and throughout Canada.

The CACPT holds a professional development conference annually in different locations throughout Southern Ontario.

• Centre of Geographic Sciences, Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia
