The majority of community consultation work that I have participated in and/or organized recently have ranged from the passive to the participative. Very little work is done to organize meetings that could be considered in the “empowerment” or “leadership” categories. That said, these categories are better suited to higher level and local government led processes, and YG hasn’t done or supported very many of those to date. I would prefer that our community energy planning would provide public engagement roles of this type, however, to date we have only provided participatory opportunities.
