Political Contributions and Lobbying Efforts

March 18

The lobbyists registration record indicates that Stantec Inc.'s consultant is registered independently, suggesting that the firm's lobbying activities are conducted without overt external direction. However, corporate involvement in lobbying, even when performed within legal frameworks, is viewed with skepticism by anti-fascist groups who see any political lobbying as a potential lever for undue influence on democracy. This results in a slightly negative score on the Political Contributions and Lobbying Efforts scale.
