COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
What does it mean to design with community in mind?
To Stantec, it means helping the communities where we work
and live become strong, vibrant, and inclusive. We achieve
that by offering our services, volunteering our time, and giving
financial resources.
Our community engagement program is a natural extension
of our purpose and our promise. We focus our giving on four
pillars and have made several commitments that enrich the
quality of life in our communities. Because we believe that
investing in our communities is benefits us all.

ADVANCING EQUITY THROUGH INCLUSION
AND DIVERSITY
We know we must do more to address the very real
consequences of systemic racism that exist in society today.
Building on initiatives we’ve had underway for many years,
our actions will continue to remain focused on outreach in
mentoring, education, sharing knowledge and resources.
At their core, partnerships are about relationships. We
have been building our relationships with organizations
like National Association of Minority Architects (NOMA),
Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), ACE
Mentor Program of America, and American Indian Science
and Engineering Society (AISES). Our work with these
organizations helps develop a strong pipeline of diverse
leaders who can add value in our industry for years to come.
