Fraser, Canada will need several thoue, and additional qualified planners over the next 10 years, says the. Imperial Oil Review in a Cross- country survey of community planning activittes,sThe article in the December issue places the urg- ent need for enore planners at the head of a list of problems made urgent 'by Canada's rapid growth, Of today's proressional town planners, the magazine reports:. "Many of them feel that we are being 'Carried along willy-nilly by the tide of growth without . ade- quate .planning and , preparation for the future; They 'feel that the community and town .planning. that is 'being done in. Canada .i.e..apotty- and too narrow in scope; that our 'planning should he on a longer term and cover much wider areas.. They say that sonic communities, indelstries and planners are beirig stifled and frustrated by aetiquat- ed zoning regulations and by-laws :that have apt kept, pace with Mod- ern deVelopMents." artieleepoiritee'•ont, that - the trend to the suburbs during tile past 12 years ha's 'brought. with it a host of problems revolving around,' transportation. For ex-. ample, the. new suburbs could' not exist, without the automobile, and unless proper provision is made for it in the form of good roads, proper spaces for ;private parking and adequate service statioie fecili- tieS, the suburb system breaks down.. Modern planners agree that archaic community laws, which are often unduly restrictive to service station building, are fatal to proper town planning, The professional planners feel that part of the general solution lies in the education of more plan- ners. Four Canadian universities' - McGill, • Toronto, Manitoba and British • Columbia—graduate plan- ners, and the 'University of 'Wes- tern Ontario's \geography course is one of the most popular on the continent for future planners.
