CONFERENCE PROGRAM September 19 - 21, 2016 Swift Current, Saskatchewan Special Thanks to the 2016 CONFERENCE COMMITTEE CONFERENCE PROGRAM September 19 - 21, 2016 Swift Current, Saskatchewan Special thanks to the 2016 CONFERENCE COMMITTEE Social Coordinators Sponsorship Coordinators CAROLYN DUNN ERIC BJORGE DOUG RAMAGE BRITTANY SHEWCHUK JENNIFER TAYLOR Program Coordinators Executive Director SARAH KING MARILYN STERANKA CATHERINE KAMBEITZ Membership Services Conference Chairs SARAH TAYLOR MELISSA AUSTIN DANAE BALOGUN Mobile Tour Coordinator MICHAEL RUUS CONFERENCE WELCOME BILL DELAINEY, SPPI PRESIDENT The theme ‘Homegrown’ was chosen for this year’s conference to celebrate all things locally raised, grown or made, and can be interpreted a number of ways depending upon a person’s perspective. As Saskatchewan is a predominantly agricultural and resource based province, one obvious interpretation of the conference theme would be to celebrate our strong ties to our agrarian heritage. Over the past few years, Saskatchewan has experienced unprecedented economic growth with much of the credit for this growth placed on expansion of the energy markets. In the last year, we’ve seen the rate of growth in the provincial economy slow mainly due to the external market challenges facing this same energy sector. Recently published provincial forecasts emphasize the importance of a strong agricultural sector in the province as the principle reason why Saskatchewan has been less impacted by changes in external markets relative to other neighboring resource based provinces. In 2015, agricultural crop exports were estimated at $15.3 billion. As planners we play an important role along with municipalities in supporting the continuation and diversification of agricultural and resource based activities in the province. On a more personal note, the conference theme could be interpreted as a celebration of local planners born and raised in the province who have impacted local, regional, provincial, and national policies. It was not that long ago when it was common to hear people say, “the last person out of Saskatchewan should turn off the lights.” To a certain extent this mentality was the case at the beginning of my career but over the past eight years that I have served on the SPPI Council this trend has reversed itself. The opportunities provided for planners in this province has continued to expand along with provincial economic growth and a growing appreciation of the role of our profession in supporting the creation of healthy and vibrant communities. Many young professionals who had previously sought opportunities outside of the province are staying put and many of those who had left to seek other opportunities elsewhere in the country are moving back. This reversal says a lot about the state of our province and the value of living at home. I would like to welcome all of you to this year’s conference and challenge each and every one of you to continue to advance the strong local legacy of professional planners in this province. Enjoy yourselves!
