This increasing demand for planning services has taken today’s planners into new and exciting directions. The diversification of the services provided by and expected from professional planners in today’s society has provided the profession with increased opportunities to play a pivotal role in shaping communities; but has also provided challenges in clearly defining our scope of practice. The profession at a national scale has endeavored to refine our professional scope of practice over this time. This journal represents the ingenuity and creativity of professional planners and planning organizations; demonstrating the breadth of professional skills being utilized by planners in today’s communities and showcases some of the challenges and successes experienced by these professionals. Message from the Journal Committee A lot has happened in the five short months since our inaugural journal issue was released. SPPI and CIP threw one hell of a conference (and party) in beautiful Saskatoon, the Riders managed to win all of three out of 18 football games, and after some welcome hesitation, the snow on the ground signals that winter has finally arrived in our dear province. We also learned of the exciting news that, starting in 2016, SPPI will be joining the Professional Planners Institutes of Manitoba and Alberta, as well representatives from the Northwest Territories and Nunavut to produce a joint Tri-PTIA Planning Journal! Now sadly this means that the SPPI Journal’s short run will soon come to an end. Despite our awareness of this likely fate, the Journal Committee decided, with SPPI’s support, that we would strive to produce one more issue, this issue, and potentially a final addition in the spring of 2016. A few factors that led us to this decision included: First, we received overwhelmingly positive feedback on the first issue. Second, we were inspired by all the great Saskatchewan-based content at the CIP/SPPI conference, some of which has made its way into this issue (Fix, pg 7). Finally, we genuinely enjoyed reading up on and sharing what great work planners and other professionals are doing across the Province. Like the first, our second issue covers a wide range of topics from grassroots cycling advocacy (Smith & McKnight, pg 3), First Nation planning in Saskatchewan (Urban Systems, pg 10), to some creative fiction that digs deep into the history of Regina’s settlement (Toman, pg 12). We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we did. The Journal Committee is very grateful for the opportunity to work on this short-lived, but ultimately successful publication. We want to thank all authors that submitted their articles. We are looking forward to the Tri-PTIA Planning Journal, where SPPI and its members can continue to showcase, to a larger audience, the advances of our profession and the positive impact it’s having in our communities. About the SPPI Planning Journal Over the past few years, SPPI’s membership expressed their desire for a Saskatchewan-based planning journal similar to those produced by other CIP provincial affiliates. The SPPI Planning Journal now provides the opportunity for the Saskatchewan planning community to publish original articles about urban and rural planning issues, best practices, and emerging trends in various sectors, fields, and geographic locations across Saskatchewan. The Journal Committee is interested in any article that would be of value to the planning community. If you have any questions about how to get your article published or if you have any feedback on this issue, or ideas for future issues, please contact the SPPI Journal Committee at info@sppi.ca. i SPPI PLANNING JOURNAL
