Community Relations

Building Trust

More and more, successfully navigating the Environmental Assessment process includes gaining social acceptance from the community in which a project is located.  But this doesn’t happen overnight. Mutually beneficial relationships require trust, which develops over time through positive corporate actions.

PR Associates helps our clients build broad-based support for their project and earn the community’s trust by developing a comprehensive community relations program that includes conducting public opinion research; building influencer campaigns; organizing community outreach in the form of speaking engagements, public meetings and sponsorships; and, creating messaging and collateral such as fact brochures, websites and  Q&A documents. Additionally, our team is skilled at helping companies prepare for public meetings where opposition groups attend and voice their disapproval of a project.

With a strong community outreach program our clients can reaffirm their commitment to responsible mining, build their reputation as a good community citizen and earn the community’s trust.
