The HEG provides expertise in the design and implementation of stakeholder engagement and public participation programs. We are certified mediators and facilitators who have been involved in programs ranging in size from small groups of 10 – 15 stakeholders to large multi-year programs with several hundred stakeholders. The HEG provides advice and support in all phases of public participation programs, from the development of basic concepts and project design through to the implementation phase, and eventually to communication and feedback.
In particular, partners of the HEG have the proven ability to develop effective working relationships with Indigenous communities. Our unique approach to public participation, communications and technical expertise has facilitated successful consultation with a range of people including community leadership, elders, trappers, farmers, technical teams, resource managers, youth and school groups.
HEG has successfully scoped, managed and facilitated projects throughout Alberta, British Columbia, South and Central America, Central Asia, South Pacific and Africa.
