Greetings Real Property Community,

You likely have seen “Coming Soon -, RPIC’s Community Needs Assessment” shared in the July 2024 RPIC Insights Newsletter, and you may be wondering, “What is it?”, “Why should I participate?” Frankly, with the limited time in everyone’s schedule, I might think the same – “Another survey to fill out”, or “Does my response really matter?” 

As President of RPIC, I want to underscore that “YOUR VOICE MATTERS”!!!.  RPIC’s mission is to support you, the federal real property community by providing quality, relevant and timely professional development that fosters leadership, knowledge exchange and lifelong learning.  We do this to support you in your roles as strategic partners and critical enablers to advance broader socio-economic objectives in the delivery of programs and services to Canadians. 

You are at the forefront of our professional development. The Community Needs Assessment will be the tool to ensure you continue to influence RPIC’s professional development offerings.  It won’t take you more than 20 minutes, and as a bonus, if you attend the Real Property National Workshop (RPNW) being held in Ottawa on October 23 and 24th, or the Real Property Greening and Sustainability Workshop being held November 27 and 28th, you will have an opportunity to win a prize if you complete the survey.  

The launch date is set – October 23, 2024. Do take the time to tell us what skills you believe you will need in the future and tell us about your current skills because we are keen to develop professional development offerings that meet your needs.   

Your voice matters. 

I look forward to launching the Community Needs Assessment with you at the RPNW. 

Best Regards, 

Jérémie Emond

RPIC President
Real Property Institute of Canada
