Welcome

RPIC Workshops and COVID-19

Dear RPIC Members,

The Real Property Institute of Canada (RPIC) is committed to the well-being of our community and recognizes its responsibility to protect the safety, health and well-being of our workshop delegates, partners, staff and operational personnel.

Over the past weeks, and amid the uncertainties regarding COVID-19 and changing travel policies, RPIC has received inquiries regarding our upcoming workshops. The RPIC Board of Directors has discussed the situation and released this update for our event registrants and other stakeholders.

We hope that the coming weeks/months will see a reduction in the spread of COVID 19 cases and a return to business as usual. Until then, RPIC has begun making contingency plans to protect our professional community while remaining positioned to normalize operations as soon as circumstances permit.

We especially value the time and effort contributed to our Workshops by the dedicated volunteer committees and 200+ confirmed presenters. To minimize the loss of the tremendous work already done to enable these Workshops, we will postpone rather than cancel upcoming events and we are closely monitoring events as they unfold.

The status of RPIC’s currently scheduled training offerings are as follows:

2020 RPIC Marine Infrastructure National Workshop
April 21-23 in St. John’s, NL - POSTPONED
This Workshop is being postponed to May 3-5, 2021. We are working with the St. John’s Convention Centre to finalize the contract. Additional information will be shared in the coming days with the Workshop presenters and registered delegates.

2020 RPIC Federal Contaminated Sites National Workshop
June 8-10 in Quebec City, QC - POSTPONED
We are monitoring the situation in Quebec very closely. Following the Government of Quebec’s announcement of March 12, the Quebec City Convention Centre has canceled any events over 250 people for the next 30 days. RPIC will re-evaluate options with the Convention Centre by mid-April and determine to decide if Workshop can proceed or will be postponed. Note that we will not be accepting any new registrations for this Workshop until we know if the event will proceed

2020 RPIC Real Property National Workshop
November 24-26 in Ottawa, ON
Planning for this Workshop will continue as scheduled. The Call for Presentations will be launched within the coming weeks with an aim to have the program confirmed by the summer. Again, we are monitoring the situation closely and will follow the directions as announced by the various levels of government and their health authorities.

We recognize that these are uncertain times and it is important to follow the instructions of local authorities and Canadian health professionals. We will continue to monitor this situation and provide updates as necessary.

Thank you for your continued support!

Our vision

A high-performing federal real property community that effectively shares knowledge to modernize and improve its professional practices..
