great places to live, work, and play. He emphasizes the need for cooperation among the various professions
involved in planning and building the spaces we live in. John believes that to effect positive change, diligence
and strong vision, along with empowered community groups and local promoters willing to sell those visions,
are the necessary keys to sustainability and community rejuvenation. John enjoys engages his audiences and
challenges them to think differently. He frequently works in small to mid-sized towns and cities across Canada,
as well as rural areas and resort communities.
His position is unapologetically anti-sprawl, and pro-liveability; believing that there are still common planning
practices that raise serious environmental and economic problems. John uses case studies, stories,
anecdotes, and humour to explore these issues. His presentations are full of colourful and descriptive slides
and clear content. Sharing his own insight and reflections from over 20 years of practise in both Canada and
the United States, he delivers customized presentations tailored to a group’s particular interests. Groups
interested in exploring subject matter and themes related to ‘planning and designing healthy liveable
communities’ will find his knowledge and his presentations thought provoking and educational.
He has delivered presentations on topics as diverse as scenic resource assessment, downtown revitalization,
wayfinding, and community branding. He has spoken on the specific challenges facing small towns and rural
areas and; his work in Active Transportation Planning has been published in both Planning and Landscape
Architecture professional journals. John has been an invited speaker at Ontario Parks Association (OPA)
events; and Parks and Recreation Ontario (PRO) events.
