RPIC Federal Real Property Week
November 23rd – 27th, 2009
The program is almost complete for RPIC’s
Federal Real Property Week (FRPW) happening from November 23rd – 27th.
The Real Property Institute of Canada (RPIC) continuously strives
to increase awareness of the importance of real property in reference
to the federal government’s programs and services. RPIC
has created a schedule of events for FRPW that promises to unite
the real property community and offer progressive solutions and
approaches to move the community forward through these challenging
times.
The highlight of the week will be the Real
Property National Workshop happening at the Palais des congres
in Gatineau on November
24th – 26th. The “Real Property in Real Time” themed
workshop will kick off with a Professional Development Day followed
by a Trade Show and two day Symposium.
The Professional Development
Day will offer keynote presentations and a choice of four training
sessions each providing practical,
timely and substantive opportunities to build your professional
toolkit. For a detailed description of each of the four planned
training sessions, please click
