Planning together, step by step

Use the planner in your browser or add it to your device. Your account and permissions stay the same.

Open Planner

1. Sign in

  1. Open planner.canadamission.org.
  2. Enter your email address and password, then choose Sign in.
  3. If you created a new account, check your email if asked. An administrator may need to activate your account and assign your role and societies.

Use the same account in the browser, browser app and Windows app. Contact your planner administrator if access is pending.

2. Add a society activity

  1. Open Annual Plan and select the year and society.
  2. Choose + Add Activity, select the society and activity, and enter the date, time, mode, venue or Zoom details.
  3. Review the information and save. Use Edit to correct an existing activity.

Editing depends on your assigned society permissions and the year status. Draft and Review years can be edited by authorised members. If Add Activity is disabled, ask an administrator to check your access and the year status.

3. Add a programme for every society

  1. Open Circuit Programmes, then + Add circuit programme.
  2. Choose a programme type, confirm the event title and enter this occurrence’s date.
  3. Enter the start and end time and time zone, or leave the start time blank for an all-day event. Add the venue or meeting link and notes.
  4. Choose Scheduled and save.

Administrators, Superintendents, Circuit Stewards and Lay Chairmen can manage circuit programmes. Scheduled programmes appear for every society in the calendars and Annual Plan. Enter each occurrence once; Easter dates change each year and quarterly meetings need their agreed dates. Cancelling a programme hides it from calendars and the Annual Plan.

4. Add choices to the programme dropdown

  1. As an administrator, expand Administration and open Programme Types.
  2. Choose + Add programme type, enter the name, display order and availability, then Save type.
  3. Return to Circuit Programmes. The active type is now available in its dropdown.

A type is a reusable choice such as Christmas or Quarterly Meeting. Adding a type does not schedule an event. Mark a type Inactive to hide it from new programme choices while keeping existing programmes.

5. Export the Annual Plan

  1. Open Annual Plan.
  2. Select the Year, Society, Mode and Status, and enter a Search if needed.
  3. Check the activities shown, then choose Export PDF or Export CSV.
  4. For PDF, choose Save / Download PDF. If the download does not start, use Secure Download Link and download within 15 minutes.

Both formats use the selected filters. Scheduled circuit programmes are included with a society’s activities when they match Mode, Status and Search. Choose All for Mode and Status and clear Search to include every applicable programme. CSV files begin with the report and filter information, followed by the activity table.

6. Open or install the planner

Simplest: open the website

Open planner.canadamission.org and sign in. No installer is needed.

Optional: install as a browser app

Choose Install as browser app on the planner sign-in screen or header. If a browser prompt appears, choose Install. Otherwise:

Menu wording varies by browser version. If installation is unavailable, use the website. The browser app needs an internet connection for planner data.

Optional: Windows installer

The separate Windows installer is available on Get started → Windows installer. The current installer is unsigned, so Windows may show “Windows protected your PC.” Only for a file downloaded from the official planner website: choose More info → Run anyway, if offered, and follow setup. You do not need to disable Windows security. If Run anyway is unavailable, use the website or browser app.

Already installed? Open Canada Mission Ministry Planner from Start. Normal planner changes arrive from the live website; a new installer is needed only for Windows app updates.
