J Consulting Group led the design and implementation of a community engagement strategy aimed at hearing from a broad range of community stakeholders and residents on the direction of parks, recreation and culture across The Nation.  Engagement activities were conducted in both official languages and included: pop-up events, community workshops, community open houses, a statistically valid telephone survey, on-line survey, stakeholder focus groups and interviews with key staff.

J Consulting Group, in collaboration with PRC Solutions, worked with the Town of Hanover to conduct a robust engagement program to inform the development of a 15 Year Parks, Recreation and Cultural Master Plan.  The consultation program incorporated traditional techniques such as interviews, focus groups, surveys and open houses, as well as more creative techniques such as community visioning boards, and hosting an interactive conversation café using tools such as Feedback Frames. 

As part of the PRC Solutions team, J Consulting Group was the consultation lead in the development of the Clearview Township’s Recreation, Parks and Culture Master Plan.  Our team designed, planed and facilitated a full spectrum of engagement activities including key informant interviews, stakeholder focus groups, community pop-up events at local farmers’ markets, and multi-stakeholder workshops.  Engagement techniques incorporated group brainstorming, storytelling, photovoice, and world café.  Consultation results provided valuable insights in setting the future direction of parks, recreation and culture in the Township.
