Spatial Engage puts your project on a map people can explore and comment on, online or at your open house.



Aaron Bernard leads our team in Canada · Gold Sponsor, IAP2 North American Conference 2026, and part of the Technology at the Table and Beyond Consultation sessions · 750+ projects since 2014

IAP2 Canada's latest member survey found a return to in-person and place-based engagement and wide use of StoryMapping and visual tools, under pressure from fatigue, mistrust and tight timelines.

A map tour walks people through your project stop by stop, with photos, video and before-and-after sliders right on the map. Show it in 2D or 3D, whichever explains it best.

People can scan a QR code on a poster and comment right where it matters. Put the same map on a touchscreen at your open house, in English and French.


Comments sit on the map where people left them, so you can see which places drew the most. Export them to CSV for your What We Heard report, or get analytics and a CRM (contact database) with Spatial Engage Enterprise.


Spatial Engage Enterprise (formerly Community Analytics) gives large programs a managed content system (CMS) for updates, plus analytics, security and 24/7 support. When a project needs more, our team can make 3D visuals and video, or build a Virtual Engagement Room, an online project room.

We built Metrolinx's Ontario Line portal with HDR. Today we're working with Ontario Northland on the Northlander and with the Toronto Port Authority on the Billy Bishop Airport RESA project.
