Administrative history

The Community Planning Association of Canada was established in Ottawa in 1946. Financed by the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) through the National Housing Act, the association had as its aim the education and involvement of community members in local planning initiatives.

As the central organization grew, provincial divisions were formed. In 1954 the first information session for CPAC Nova Scotia was held in Windsor, and the provincial chapter has since been involved in the national organization through National Council meetings. In Nova Scotia, CPAC is active in community planning, conference planning, consultation to local government, and in bringing together community members over planning issues.

The Nova Scotia Division of CPAC is run by a board of governors with executive and program committees.
