WSP helps find consensus on major projects – Calgary Economic Development

November 19, 2024

When it comes to major projects in Canada — be it resource or infrastructure — communities take centre stage. Success from regulatory approval all the way to completion often depends on working closely with communities, especially Indigenous ones, to ensure they benefit alongside other stakeholders.

“Engagement is almost the number one requirement for project development now in Canada,” says Doug Ford, senior vice-president of Indigenous engagement and information management, earth and environment at WSP in Canada.

“If you really want to have a successful project, it begins, right from the start, with engagement, and that engagement continues right to the very end.”
