The Canadian Institute of Planners invites Canadians to nominate a local street, neighbourhood or place as part of its Great Places in Canada contest. The Great Places in Canada contest recognizes the contributions of planners by celebrating their lasting impressions on Canadian communities. 
Canadians are invited to nominate and vote on what street, neighbourhood or place should win. Those who nominate a Great Place in Canada are entered to win two draw-prizes that include a $300.00 prepaid credit card and a one-year subscription to Plan Canada, the premier planning magazine in Canada. There is also a prize for the nominator of a Great Place in Canada that receives the most votes (out of all of the nominees from all categories).

All Great Places in Canada nominees are judged by a jury of professional planners.

The municipality home to the Great Place in Canada will receive a plaque which can be displayed at their Great Place. Vote...
