October 11th Event

The Canadian Insitute of Planners has sent us their student rep, Ms. Amie Baker, who will be visiting Montreal and stopping by on October 11 (next thursday) from 6 to 8 pm, at the Thomson House.

This will be an opportunity to get answers to your questions regarding CIP, its benefits and members, but also to do some networking and mingling with fellow students from other urban planning departments in Montreal. Plus we'll be offering nachos.

We will also be introducing MUPSA, that interuniversity student body made of Montreal Urban Planning department reps, so be sure to show up!
