About Communica Public Affairs Inc.

Communica is the preeminent stakeholder and Indigenous engagement specialist firm in Western Canada. Since 2002, Communica has supported over 1,500 projects across North America.

Our work is guided by our belief that authentic, open and transparent engagement leads to better decision-making and builds mutual respect and trust with stakeholders and Indigenous communities. We believe that innovation and technology are keys to successful energy development. That is why we have continually invested in solutions to empower our clients.

How Communica Leads with Technology and Innovation

Communica formed Canada’s first dedicated SIM group in 2008, designed specifically to manage stakeholder engagement information in support of major project development and stakeholder outreach initiatives. Since this time, Communica’s SIM group has become the largest, and most experienced and proficient in the country. This centre of excellence combines a professionally managed team of specialized subject matter experts with refined processes and procedures related to thorough engagement tracking. The SIM group has supported over 60 clients on more than 200 projects and has over 100,000 hours of experience establishing thorough protocols and processes, entering detailed engagement information into databases, tracking stakeholders and their contact information, developing analytics and creating powerful engagement reports to help our clients make well-informed operational strategic decisions which can impact project design and planning.

SIM

The SIM Bundle combines services and software to manage project risk.

Our SIM services were built upon further by our merger with the technology company Sunexo Solutions in 2020 to acquire the industry leading software- IRIS. IRIS has been used by over 500 projects across North America and easily captures records of engagement and stores them in a secure and protected environment. Using IRIS, Communica has developed a proprietary machine learning solution to easily capture engagement activities. This solution helps drive buy-in of engagement professionals as it requires no training and allows them to focus on their core competencies. Communica has also combined our SIM services and IRIS software to offer a scalable bundled solution (the SIM Bundle) to our clients which effectively manages their risk of non-compliance and stakeholder concerns.
