The Ontario Professional Planners Institute (OPPI) recently celebrated this year’s PlanON award winners and announced the Project of the Year at their annual awards event held in Kitchener, Ontario, on September 18, 2025.

The PlanON Awards are the highest honour OPPI can bestow. This year’s 21 award winners have demonstrated excellence in creating thoughtful, innovative, and well-planned communities across Ontario and showcase a commitment to advancing the planning profession.

“Our members work hard every day to plan great communities that have enough homes, community facilities, parks, transportation connection and other amenities while protecting farmland, natural heritage, and water resources,” said Andria Leigh, chair, OPPI. “As an organization we’re excited to honour this work through the PlanON Awards and are incredibly proud of this year’s winners.”

All submissions underwent a review process including a peer-review by a jury made up of six industry professionals.
