Public Engagement

As Yellowknife continues to grow and evolve, so do the expectations of its residents. People want more than just information; they want a chance to influence decisions that impact their neighborhoods, services, and quality of life.

Adhering to the IAP2 Spectrum of Engagement Model, the City connects with the community through various engagement initiatives to listen and share ideas. Whether it’s planning future transportation, improving public spaces, or updating City services, hearing from residents helps ensure decisions reflect local needs and priorities.

When done effectively, public engagement fosters trust, incorporates a broader range of voices, and results in improved outcomes. It transforms local knowledge and lived experience into valuable input — and helps build a more informed, connected, and responsive Yellowknife.
