Overview

Stakeholder engagement and community relations in Alberta

reVerb runs stakeholder engagement, sometimes called interested parties engagement, and community relations for organizations facing complex, multi-stakeholder work. We help infrastructure project owners, municipal governments, developers, contractors and engineering firms build community support and hold stakeholder relationships through the life of a project. Our work spans strategic communications and Indigenous consultation.

Engagement shapes whether a project moves smoothly or meets delays and added cost. From LRT construction and municipal infrastructure to community development and long-term operations, we turn stakeholder concerns into support across Alberta and Canada.

The basics

What is stakeholder engagement?

Stakeholder engagement is the work of identifying, understanding and involving the people and organizations affected by or able to influence a project. Done well it is a two-way conversation that runs for the life of the project, not a one-time notice. It manages concerns early, demonstrates responsiveness and builds the relationships that keep a project moving.

Who are stakeholders?

  • Neighbours and residents
  • Local businesses and business associations
  • Indigenous communities
  • Community groups and non-profits
  • Government, councils and regulators
  • Funders, boards and members
  • Media and local networks
  • Project teams, contractors and engineering firms

Common questions

Stakeholder engagement questions we hear

Our stakeholder groups have conflicting interests. Can engagement still work?

Yes. We run dialogue that takes every side's concerns seriously, find common ground where it exists and help you make informed trade-offs, then communicate the decisions openly so people know where things landed.

We are facing organized opposition. What happens next?

We move fast: a quick read of the stakeholders and their concerns, the people who carry influence, and an engagement program that responds directly. Trust comes back through transparency and follow-through.

We do not have internal capacity for sustained engagement.

We embed with your team, from a full-time community liaison to surge support during peak phases, and bring the engagement expertise with us. See our monthly communications packages.

We want consultation that is more than a compliance exercise.

We design engagement where input actually shapes decisions, show people how their feedback was used and keep the conversation going past the first session.

When should stakeholder engagement start?

Early. The sooner you engage, the cheaper concerns are to work through and the more options you keep open.
