Tracey’s energetic and attentive style has assisted communities locally and internationally to develop supported, realistic solutions and achieve shared goals.

Mary Moreland has been a bilingual trainer for IAP2’s certificate courses since 2005.

To cap off this introduction, an important part of IAP2’s training for Mary is the opportunity to learn from participants as they share their experiences or reflect on how they might improve their engagements from what they are learning from their IAP2 courses and from their peers.

Webinar - Evaluating Risk in Public Participation and Engagement (25 Jun 2026)

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Evaluating Risk in Public Participation and Engagement

Every P2/engagement process carries inherent risks, whether in the planning, implementation, or decision-making phases. From the earliest planning stages to implementation and beyond, risks can arise from people dynamics, change impacts, and engagement processes.

Join us for an insightful session where we’ll explore how to identify, assess, and manage risks for an engagement initiative. We’ll focus on four key risk areas and share practical strategies to ensure your consultations are appropriately scaled to the complexity of the issue at hand.

In this webinar, you’ll gain:

An understanding of change impact risks and how they shape your engagement strategy.
Insights into assessing the readiness of impacted parties, why it matters, and how to support it.
Tools to anticipate and mitigate risks in decision-making and stakeholder interactions.
Examples of how engagement risks can affect planning and implementation.

Whether you're designing a new engagement process or refining an existing one, this session will equip you with tools to build trust, foster understanding, and support stakeholders through change.

01:00 pm - 02:15 pm Eastern
12:00 pm - 01:15 pm Central

Webinar - Beyond ‘Who Came?’: How One Simple Lens Revealed Who We Weren’t Hearing: Using social vulnerability to design engagement that enables—not just invites. (27 Aug 2026)

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Beyond ‘Who Came?’: How One Simple Lens Revealed Who We Weren’t Hearing

Using social vulnerability to design engagement that enables—not just invites.

Across most municipalities, engagement often reflects who can participate—not necessarily those most affected by the decision. Edmonton wanted to deepen its practice by designing proactively for residents whose circumstances may limit their capacity to demand a service, adapt to change, or participate at all. This concept of social vulnerability—the lived conditions that shape a person’s ability to engage—is now reshaping how the City approaches public participation.

This webinar explores how Edmonton is integrating a social vulnerability lens into engagement planning—an approach that moves beyond generic outreach to understand where participation barriers may be higher and why. By adapting a version of the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI)—originally developed for disaster response—the City began using data to anticipate barriers before engagement begins. This aligns with Edmonton’s Public Engagement Policy (C593D), which calls for equity-based, data-driven, proactive, and continuously improving engagement.

Rather than offering a step-by-step formula, the session shares the mindset behind the work: how a simple data lens can illuminate who is most affected, guide decisions about where to show up, and support more intentional, meaningful participation.

Through examples from the Public Washroom Strategy, Community Sandbox Program, and Sidewalk Maintenance Strategy, participants will see how vulnerability mapping revealed patterns that traditional engagement alone could not—and how it strengthens values-based, impact-oriented decision-making across the organization.

This webinar is for practitioners seeking engagement that does more than invite—it enables.

Webinar - Barbershop Banter and Language Links: Increasing Awareness of Public Engagement Among Immigrant and Newcomer Communities (24 Sep 2026)

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Barbershop Banter and Language Links: Increasing Awareness of Public Engagement Among Immigrant and Newcomer Communities

This webinar focuses on what was learned during a project to reduce barriers to participation/engagement with immigrant and new Canadian community members within the City of Edmonton. The project used a number of tactics to gather input from immigrants and new Canadians, such as:

Leveraging relationships and sharing information with community organizations that represent marginalized voices.
Providing translation services at engagement events.
Ensuring communication materials were written at and not above a grade 1 reading level.
Providing compensation to community members who hosted engagement events at their barbershops and salons.
Offering food, often cultural, at each engagement event.
Offering short, take-home document formats for participants with time constraints so they can conveniently provide and submit feedback on their own time.

The input gathered told a story about how immigrants and new Canadians want to provide input to the City. Key learnings that will be shared include:

Utilize existing City resources, build on pre-existing relationships, be honest about your project, outcomes, and approach. Internal surveys and interviews, met with internal partners
Why do you want to engage? Tangible resources, ample time, engagement budget
Meaningful change as a result of engagement. Impact on engaged communities that is meaningful and tangible
Prioritize lived and living experience. Attended community events, have representation within and outside of project
Trauma-informed community conversations. Soft skills, trained professionals, provided food and gifts
Meaningful interactions. Attended community events, warm hand intros, phoned, coffee meetings
Translations. Recruited internally as appropriate, external partners, 1st grade reading level

01:00 pm - 02:15 pm Eastern
