CONSULTATIONS & STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT & OUTREACH
Consultation, stakeholder and public engagement is crucial to the success and effectiveness of the HCD Study. It is expected that there would be a high level of collaboration and involvement from stakeholders and the public. The goal is to partner with the community in the Study. The consultant should consider creative/innovative means for engaging the public and stakeholders, especially given current COVID situations. Communications staff from the City will be involved. In coordination with City of Windsor staff, the consultant is to design a program that meets the following objectives:
-
Provides information about and increases awareness of the project
-
Building interest in the history and character of an area, while receiving information from the community about identification of important elements that define the character of the area or of individual properties/resources
-
Educate on existing heritage oversight/parameters in Walkerville vs potential future options for heritage conservation/planning in the area (including sharing of examples from other communities), and the benefits and drawbacks for each option
-
Provide opportunities for community to ask questions and receive responses on potential concerns and frequently asked questions.
-
Receive community views on desires, vision, and priorities for the area in both public and private realms
-
Integrate and report on community considerations and views on potential HCD Plan and HCD boundary, and views on alternative types of heritage conservation/planning tools
The specific approach and methods to achieve the above objectives are to be outlined by the consultant. The consultant must also provide options in the context of COVID circumstances.
The consultants will report to the Project Working group and communicate/meet regularly with the City’s Heritage Planner and the working group, to report on project updates, and inform on project status at least on a bi-weekly basis.
