Community Outreach Planning with the Pack Wolf Pack that is A Pictorial Essay in Recognition of World Town Planning Day 2003 by Ken R. Johnson
A Wolf Cub Pack may seem like an odd place to find junior planners, however, it is not when your Leader (Akela) is Ken R. Johnson, ACP, MCIP.
Picking a community for the Pack to
work on was a bit of challenge, but in the end, Akela chose the new aboriginal community of Natuashish in Labradour. The first part of the exercise was spent giving an explanation of the process used by professional planners,
and the community
infrastructure important to planning such as roads, buildings, green space. The Wolf Cub junior planners used marker pens to do their planning work. T h e i m a g i n a t i o n s o f t h e Wo l f C u b j u n i o r planners were very creative, and produced very interesting community plans. A f t e r t h e Wo l f C u b j u n i o r p l a n n e r s f i n i s h e d their planning work, they were given the chance to explain what they did to the other members of the Pack.
Ken R. Johnson, ACP, MCIP is a Senor Planner, Senior Engineer and Senior Wolf with Earth Tech Canada in Edmonton.
