Build engagement that’s inclusive, measurable, and ready when you are.

​

A Community Panel is a standing group of residents recruited to reflect the true diversity of your community. Built and maintained by The W Group, your panel becomes a ready-made platform to consult on any issue, at any time, with confidence that you’re hearing from the right voices.

Why Your Municipality Needs A Panel

 

Representation: 

Go beyond the loudest voices. Panels are designed to reflect the lived experiences and demographics of your community.

​

Continuity:

​Panels create a reliable audience for recurring surveys, longitudinal research, and ongoing consultation.

​​

Equity:

With intentional recruitment, inclusive design, and multilingual support, panels reach residents; traditional engagement often misses

​

Trust:

Show your residents you’re listening—consistently, transparently, and respectfully.

​

Readiness:

Have a go-to group ready for fast input on emerging issues, planning priorities, and service reviews.
