    Abstract
    This paper explores the contemporary practice of social planning in Canada. In the context of a diminishing social welfare state, the momentum for planning around social issues is generated by local voluntary associations. The evolution of the practices of social planning organizations is traced from their rational roots to the participatory, interpretive and critical approaches of today. These practices are organized under three functions: community organizing, knowledge creation, and communicative action. Such local capacities are identified as crucial to the practice of citizenship in a democratic civil society.
     
    Ce texte porte sur une exploration du cadre contemporain et de la pratique de la planification sociale au Canada. Dans un contexte où l'assistance sociale gouvernementale occupe de moins en moins de place, les priorités sociales dans l'aménagement dépendent de plus en plus d'associations bénévoles partout au pays. Les pratiques des organismes de planification sociale (OPS), nées de démarches logiques, doivent composer avec les exigences participatives, interprétatives et critiques d'auiourd'hui. Ces pratiques remplissent trois fonctions principales : organisation sociale, recherche ou acquisition de connaissances et interventions fonctionnelles. Ces habiletés locales sont au coeur de la préservation de la citoyenneté dans une société civile démocratique.
