Public Engagement & Policy Development

Through Wedler’s diverse project portfolio, we have extensive experience with projects involving governance, public engagement, the creation of local government strategy and legislation with respect to civil infrastructure. We often provide support for public processes including planning and facilitating engagement sessions, attending and participating in public hearings, and acting as expert witness in certain cases.

While projects may have varied public engagement needs, our communication objectives encompass several facts:
