The 29th annual Friends of Planning Spring Social is presented by the University of Toronto Planning Alumni Committee and the Department of Geography & Planning. 

It is one of the pre-eminent annual events for the planning and development industry, with 200+ alumni, faculty, and other prominent city builders attending for an evening of networking, music, hors d’oeuvres, and a keynote address on a pivotal planning topic from influential figures in the industry.

In addition to offering a great time for networking, the event also raises money to support a number of initiatives that enrich the student experience. Notably, funds ensure that all students entering the second year of the program have the opportunity to join the cohort field school. This event takes the cohort to a major city in order to explore planning issues and practices outside of the Toronto context.

Other funded initiatives include:

  • student financial support
  • conference funding
  • learning modules
  • student mentorship
  • professional development
  • networking

 We hope you can support our students through sponsorship, tickets, or donations.

Thank you for supporting us, and we look forward to seeing you at the event!
