Digital Geosocial Carbon Free Citizen Engagement

PlaceSpeak CEO Colleen Hardwick presented at the Greening Governments Webinar Series co-hosted by Alberta Environment and Parks and the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre.

Conducting public consultation online has obvious benefits for being carbon free: it is accessible 24/7, it is cost efficient; it does not require travel, room rentals and associated costs; it saves on paper, whether for flyers, posters or questionnaires; and now, it can be authenticated to place while protecting individual privacy. In this webinar, Colleen describes the benefits of online citizen engagement for the 21st century: engagement that is online and mobile, that is location-specific, and that protects privacy by design.
