I'm a Social Planner for the City of Vancouver and I'm working on conducting an SIA on the effects of new development on a low-income community. I need mentors, advice, tips and resources! This is the first time we have attempted this and I'm the only one who has researched the topic at this point. Would really appreciate talking to people who have done SIAs...

I am an SIA consultant working in Ontario. Although I have not done SIA on your specific issue, I have done SIA in Canada for my entire career and would be pleased to have a chat. Conducting SIA in a municipal government context has its challenges and I applaud the City for trying. This is good. Contact me via my email tomasz.wlodarczyk@aecom.com
