Graham Crawford Show - Civic Panel, Series 4 - Public Engagement, Reality or Theatre

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.There are many different types of public engagement in Hamilton. Sometimes, public engagement is part of a legislated requirement related to certain kinds of public projects where residents must be consulted in order for projects to meet provincially legislated requirements. Other kinds of public engagement are driven by a goal to understand what residents would like to see happen. Sometimes that goal is real. Sometimes, it feels more like theatre.On this edition of The Graham Crawford Show, our regular Civic Panel, Maureen Wilson, Peter Graefe and Ryan McGreal, discuss public engagement. What’s working well. What isn’t. And what we could be doing better.Link to the IAP2 Spectrum of Participation model as referenced in this episode.http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/www.iap2.org/resource/resmgr/imported/IAP2%20Spectrum_vertical.pdf_____________________________________________________________________The Graham Crawford Show with your host, Graham CrawfordExecutive Producer: Alex ZaferAll shows are produced and recorded by Dave Beatty at Q.E.D.
