What the judges said: 

"... an incredible example of the power of a strength-based approach to working with people and communities."

"... effectively demonstrates culturally appropriate and inclusive process with an indigenous community."

ORGANIZATION OF THE YEAR

City of Victoria, BC – “Foundation for Success”

“Traditional and new approaches were tested to appeal to a wide variety of stakeholders to ensure their participation was well informed and convenient for them.”

“… demonstrates the shift from an organization with zero emphasis on P2 and a low trust rate among its citizens to one that is committed to internal and external integration of P2. One could infer from the requirement to have each project … outlining the P2 strategy that the decision-making has also shifted and improved.”

(Honourable Mention) City of Vancouver – “Engaged City”

“[The task force identified, intuitively and through hard data, that] it’s hard to make friends in Vancouver … this not only impacts enjoyment of place, but also extends to a direct impact on residents engagement with local government.”

“The Task Force’s final report is publicly accessible and it includes all of the recommendations that resulted from task force activity.”


P2 FOR THE GREATER GOOD

Hawkwood Community Association (Calgary) & Forum Stakeholder Relations – “Our Hawkwood”

 “… exceptionally well designed project, with clear results and intention to have ongoing engagement.”

“ … effectively demonstrated ways in which P2 can be designed and implements with limited resourcing and result in positive community building and relations.”


EXTENDING THE PRACTICE THROUGH CREATIVITY, COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION IN THE FIELD

City of Calgary – “Action Plan 2015 – 2018”

… the combination of online engagement, planned face-to-face engagement and going to where people gathered (e.g. community events) to gather input [demonstrated Core Value #4 (seeking out involvement from people affected by a decision)]”

“Results [were] integrated into Council and Administration decision-making processes.”

(Honourable Mention) City of Edmonton – “What the B*ke is Going On?”

“Reached out to pre-existing associations of people who would be affected, leveraging that community infrastructure … met people where they were already spending their time – farmers’ markets and kitchen table meetings with homeowners.”

“… went out to the people instead of relying on people to come to the project.”
