CA

I co-founded Spur Communication to work with organizations to help build better conversations about issues that matter. Since 2015, we have facilitated multi-day, organizational strategic planning sessions with both staff and board members, resulting in increased cohesion and clear strategic vision. We\'ve designed and led complex public engagement programs, drawing people into conversations about their communities. Finally, we have created bespoke, long-term communication strategies, streamlining clients\' narratives and tone of voice.

ABOUT HILARY FARSON

At heart, I\'m a facilitator. A strategic communication and public engagement enthusiast, I believe that for consultations and campaigns to be impactful, they must include – and genuinely make space for – diverse experiences and perspectives. I\'ve been told I have a knack for designing thought-provoking campaigns and facilitating constructive community dialogue, especially when the stakes are high. I am a multi-award-winning strategist with over a decade of industry experience. I specialize in public sector projects and have worked with all levels of government on diverse and progressive initiatives across the health, education, infrastructure and transportation sectors. I am an avid team player and collaborator. I believe that it doesn\'t matter who gets the credit, as long as the team wins. I am a perpetual learner, moderate perfectionist and photography lover, who has always loved a good story.
