Public Engagement Guidebook
Summary
This guidebook supports the development of government engagement initiatives that prioritize equity and anti-racism throughout both planning and implementation. It outlines the fundamental steps of the public engagement process and offers additional guidance to help departments (e.g., finance, public works) integrate equity and anti-racism considerations into their approach. The guide incorporates the concepts of two-eyed seeing, sankofa, and ubuntu which emphasize diversity, history, and building meaningful, respectful relationships within communities.
Why is this Useful
