This month we gave our sincere congratulations and well-wishes to SCARP's Spring 2022 graduates. We have been inspired by the wisdom they've given to us and to the community already.
To our graduates:
Despite the special challenges throughout your programs, the innovations necessary during the pandemic, we have been so fortunate to at last celebrate with you in-person.
Now that you've graduated, welcome to alumni life! This isn't goodbye! This is the next stage of your SCARP journey, and your journey in the world of planning! You remain and shall always remain a member of the SCARP community, and we hope to share wisdom, opportunities, and stories in the years to come.
In SCARP, and in life, we can promise this: you're just at the beginning of the adventure! You're going to do something extraordinary.

| Mikaila Lynn Johnson - MCRP Supervisor - Mark Stevens Project: Infill Housing Vision: Growing Creatively with Character (City of Kelowna) My time at SCARP has been a wonderful experience. I've learned so much about the complexities of planning from my colleagues, faculty, and practitioners. The highlight of the program for me was working with a dedicated studio team to develop an Infill Housing Vision for the City of Kelowna. This work challenged my perspective on housing development, and forced me to dive deep into the context of a municipality I wasn't very familiar with. I'm excited to share that I have started a full-time position as a Development Coordinator at Peterson Group, and I am looking forward to continually learning from the industry professionals around me. Thanks! |

| Jasmin Kaur Senghera - MCRP Through her time at SCARP Jasmin has had the opportunity to delve into research focussed on transportation planning and public engagement. This has been through her SSHRC-funded capstone project on the 15-minute city, her greenest city scholar internship on bike lanes in the City of Vancouver, her studio project in collaboration with her peers centred on reducing car dependency in the District of Squamish, and lastly her work with the SFU Centre for Dialogue on public reform. Jasmin is incredibly thankful for these various ventures and looks forward to utilizing these skills and tools in the world of planning. She has recently started working as a planning assistant at the City of Burnaby in the Development and Urban Design Division.
