meet Lindsay
Lindsay Humber (she/her) is passionate about participatory decision-making and community-led processes. She brings 15+ years of expertise in public engagement, group facilitation, strategic communication, and social research to help organizations build trust, deepen relationships, and make informed decisions that reflect the voices of their communities.
Lindsay is on a mission to transform the way we approach meaningful dialogue and public participation. She’s actively working to re-integrate joy, laughter, and authentic connection into her community engagement practice—creating spaces that are both energizing and unifying. Whether she’s communicating complex projects, designing inclusive engagement strategies, or facilitating group conversations, Lindsay embraces the messiness of human experience to co-create relational, people-centered engagement processes
the roots beneath her work
With more than a decade of experience in the utility sector (power, water, and infrastructure), Lindsay knows how to design effective engagement strategies that balance community expectations with organizational goals. She combines a deep understanding of group dynamics, collaborative leadership, and human-centered design with an academic foundation focused on how people relate to each other and to the environments around them—bringing forward innovative ideas and driving tangible outcomes for her clients.
Lindsay holds a Master of Environmental Design (Environmental Science) and a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Environmental Studies. She is an active member of both the International Association of Facilitators (IAF) and the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) Canada, where she currently serves on the IAP2 Canada Research Committee.
A settler of European descent, Lindsay is grateful to live, work, and parent on Treaty Six Territory. Much of what she knows about reciprocity, place-based learning, and relationship-building comes from the generosity this land has shown her.
“I believe community engagement should feel human–joyful, messy and real.”
