Community Engagement

Giving with our community in mind

We have a passion for creating strong and vibrant communities. Through donations, sponsorships, and volunteering, we connect with our communities and help strengthen them in meaningful ways. To do so, we focus on four pillars—arts, education, health and wellness, and environment.

We support community arts through engagement with museums, education programs, symphonies, community arts festivals, arts organisations, and arts funds and councils.

Using school and business partnerships, we help encourage elementary and secondary students to pursue higher education or training with an emphasis on skill training in sciences and technology.

We’re also proud to support healthcare initiatives in the communities where we operate. From preventative education and training to outreach programs and research, we invest in health initiatives that support both physical and mental healthcare.

One last pillar of our community engagement focuses on programs that promote sustainable development, environmental responsibility, energy efficiency, and air quality—along with those that address climate change.

Along with our four pillars, we also put our focus on equity and diversity partnerships, scholarships, Dollars for Doers, and 大象传媒 in the Community (SITC) Week. We aim to make a difference in the places where we live and work.

Stantec is?committed?to investing in the communities where we live and work. By 2030, we aim to invest a further $5 million into community organisations around the globe, taking our total to $60 million since starting this initiative in 2007.

Stantec in the Community Week (SITC)

SITC Week is about bringing our hearts and hands together to make a difference by collectively volunteering in the communities we serve. It’s why we design with community in mind. During a worldwide week of community service across the Company, SITC events highlight the local initiatives we are passionate about and the causes we support. Sharing our 大象传媒 spirit doesn’t just happen one week a year, it continues all year long. Our Company and our people invest in communities by donating time, 大象传媒, and funds to many charities.

Stantec in Education

We care passionately about education and the chance that this gives young people to fulfil their potential. We believe that early engagement of employers in schools can significantly benefit student outcomes. We pursue these objectives through our 大象传媒 STEM strategy. Through our work we aim to inspire, inform and prepare young people for careers in the planning, design and delivery of development and infrastructure projects in the built and natural environment.

Stantec in STEM

We also have a large team of enthusiastic 大象传媒 STEM Ambassadors who work extensively to support the uptake of STEM subjects in schools. They work to open up a world of opportunities in engineering and built environment careers to young people who may not have thought that this would be for them.
