Anton Germishuizen

You know, I think Sandy really brought this whole issue to bear. I was a resident in Philadelphia at the time, so lived through the storm. When you drive through the communities and see the damage that was caused by a pretty profound natural event, it was a turning point certainly for a lot of the thinking in that region, and I think it's driven a tremendous awareness now.

Brian Larson

My father's house was destroyed through Irene. He lives in Upstate New York in a small town. It basically stripped all its contents: he lost his clothes, his bedding, his books, his albums, his TV, and basically everything.

Bob Seager

We want to create projects that will essentially enhance the natural settings, so we work hard to re-create habitats for wildlife, vegetation that will be resilient, will be able to withstand variations in water flow or temperature, things of that nature.

Lui Mancinelli

I ultimately care about the environments and the communities that we support, that we build, that we live in, and I think resiliency is about making sure that those communities can continue to thrive and those communities are places where my child and my family live and play and work in.

Stanis Smith

We owe a responsibility to future generations that we're designing buildings that are going to have a lasting legacy, and that aren't just going to be a kind of disposable artifact of our culture.

Anton Germishuizen

I think at Stantec we have a phenomenal opportunity to really have an impact on this agenda. We are a systems-design-driven company. We have a very deep bench with incredible resources to bear on these wicked problems that our clients have to solve, and so it's just a phenomenal opportunity to be able to be here at this time dealing with what I believe will be a bigger issue in the future. We’re going to be seeing more of these needs coming up.

Low Level Road: Community resilience through sustainable transportation

As the world’s first transportation project to receive an Envision Platinum award for sustainable infrastructure, there’s quite a bit under the hood. Low Level Road improves community mobility, enhances the availability of active transportation options, improves community safety, and mitigates threats from unstable slopes and seismic risks. The design team also contributed to sustainable infrastructure through economic development and stability in the local community. Read More

We understand that the social, environmental, and economic aspects of a community are all connected

Turtles

We helped our clients win 22% of all funding awarded by HUD in a 2016 resilience-plan competition

Our work has helped to save over 11,000 gallons of water per day

We saved and cared for freshwater turtles after a 843,000 gallon oil spill

We have a stake in making the world a more resilient place and we are focused on working together to help meet the economic, social, and natural challenges that are facing our current and future generations.
