SUDBURY — J.L. Richards & Associates Limited (JLR) is pleased to announce the appointment of Jason Ferrigan, RPP, MCIP, MSc.Pl, to Chief Planner.

He will lead JLR’s growing team of professional planners who serve public and private clients on a wide range of projects providing viable and insightful options for innovative and adaptable planning.

With 25 years of experience, Jason is a creative and inspiring leader that empowers and drives innovation and action while creating more sustainable communities. Jason’s skilled approach and commitment provides clients with options that are viable and insightful.

“I’m fortunate to have worked in different sectors and gained extensive experience in Ontario and elsewhere. This experience has taught me a lot about planning and what it can do for residents, businesses, and communities,” says Jason.

“It also taught me how to listen and understand needs, develop tailored solutions that work, and lead people and teams. I’m looking forward to collaborating with my colleagues, clients, and stakeholders to create great outcomes on every project we work on.”

Jason’s efforts have been recognized for excellence and innovation at the provincial and national levels. His experience spans the full spectrum of planning—from idea to implementation—including visions, master plans, design guidelines, planning policies, site studies, development approvals, competitions, and construction.

His challenging and complex assignments have been across Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, the United States, and the Caribbean.

“Jason is very well respected both internally and in the wider planning world as a preeminent leader in his field,” says Saverio Parrotta, JLR CEO and President.
