Meeting communities and stakeholders at public consultations is a vital part of the planning process. It can be hard to engage everyone, but that’s exactly who should be heard. So we’ve launched Community Engage™—a cost-effective solution for delivering public consultations online, that meets legislative requirements and enhances community engagement.
Whether hosted on your website or independently by Stantec, our planning and engagement experts will work with you to make a strategic case for your project and replicate the consultation experience with project display boards, live chat, video clips and orthographic 3D models. Using 360-degree photography we can even create custom environments of real-life venues.
We understand the need to demonstrate the project has been presented to a wide range of stakeholders within the community and complement this offering with a range of digital community outreach options to ensure you reach the right audience. These include highly targeted social media advertising by demographic and location, digital advertising with local media and online engagement with community groups and key influencers. For contentious projects, we can also set up and manage independent social media channels for your consultation to minimize online reputational risk to your organization.
