From the Editor

This October, more than 1,000 chemical engineers will gather in Saskatoon at the 60th Canadian Chemical Engineering Conference. In this issue, we focus on Saskatchewan to find out what chemical scientists and engineers are contributing in the central prairies. Writer John Gray examines how the economy of the resource-rich province is embracing the markets. We take the opportunity in our Q and A to check in with the Canadian Light Source, Canada’s only synchrotron facility, to see how it’s living up to expectations since its opening in 2004. Finally, we look at one example of how intelligent engineering is giving canola farmers an edge in the biofuels business.

I hope you enjoy the read!
