Design Of A Public Relations Program And/Or Provision Of Facilitation Services.
Oftentimes, infrastructure projects are poorly understood and not well accepted by the public. Hardy Stevenson and Associates Limited can help municipalities, regions, government agencies, and private sector clients to move ahead with their projects. Our expertise involves designing and implementing public relations programs that help to educate and create awareness among affected members of the public. In addition, our programs allow our clients to better understand the public's needs and concerns. The result is projects that are less controversial and are completed under budget and in less time. Many organizations also rely on our facilitation services to ensure that their public meetings and workshops run smoothly. These services involve organizing and administrating the details of the workshops. Hardy Stevenson and Associates Limited also moderates the workshops and ensures that all parties have equal opportunity to speak and to listen to one another. The presence of an 'objective' and experienced facilitator can often mean the difference between success and failure for meetings and workshops, especially when the project is controversial. As facilitators, we go the 'extra mile' by working with stakeholders prior to workshops or meetings to develop a mutually acceptable agenda.

Socio-economic And Environmental Impact Assessment
In many countries, socio-economic impact assessment (SEIA) has become a required component of development and infrastructure projects. SEIA identifies and analyzes the short and long-term potential impacts of development on people, businesses, institutions, and communities. It is one aspect of Environmental Impact Assessment that is recognized as a tool for understanding effects of work force, project spending, and physical changes to the local and regional characteristics of an area. SEIA allows the prediction of housing, infrastructure, education, health care, security, transportation, and other effects associated with new projects and policies. When used effectively, it can enhance the positive benefits and minimize the negative effects of projects, including effects related to indigenous peoples, safeguarding cultural property, pest management, resettlement, disclosure of information and gender equity. Hardy Stevenson and Associates Limited has provided essential advice about the socio-economic impacts of waste management programs and facilities, hydroelectric and thermal energy projects and policies, aggregate and resource extraction proposals, urban planning and housing developments, forest policies, and transportation modes and facilities. We have completed large strategic policy assessments and assessed the socio-economic impacts of small development projects. Our advice has helped proponents to improve project design, plan for cost effectiveness, and enhance community acceptance.

Design And Implementation Of A Public Consultation Program
More and more organizations are recognizing the value of consulting with the public on issues ranging from site-specific projects to broad nation-wide policies or programs. Members of the public are not only interested in contributing to discussions that affect their lives, their input is often invaluable to the project team. Hardy Stevenson and Associates Limited works with various private and public organizations to develop public consultation programs that meet their specific needs. Consultation tools include surveys, interviews, 1-800 numbers, web sites, information sessions, workshops, open houses, meetings, and charrettes. In addition to 'one-time' consultation programs, Hardy Stevenson and Associates Limited also helps clients to develop long-term relationships with key stakeholders. We can organize and facilitate 'kitchen table meetings' that allow affected parties to become directly involved in the decision-making process. This long-term approach to public consultation helps to build trust between the project proponents and the public.
