Economic Development
Strategic Planning
We work with communities to develop economic development strategies that are realistic, measurable, and tailored to your local context. Whether it's a 5-year economic roadmap, tourism strategy, or investment attraction plan, we help align your goals with actions and outcomes.
Stakeholder Engagement
We bring together community voices, industry leaders, and public-sector partners to ensure your strategy reflects the needs and potential of those you serve. Our engagement is inclusive, insightful, and built for action.
Helping Communities Build Resilient, Prosperous Futures
At Destinate, we help Canadian communities identify their strengths, unlock new opportunities, and develop strategies that drive long-term economic growth. Whether you're a municipality, regional organization, Indigenous community, or airport authority, we bring practical expertise, local insight, and a results-driven approach to every project.
We specialize in place-based economic development that balances prosperity with people, sustainability, and regional identity. From tourism and transportation to infrastructure and investment readiness — we help you move from vision to action.
Grant Strategy & Funding Support
We help you build fundable strategies, secure government and private-sector investment, and prepare strong business cases that tell your story and show your impact.
Transportation & Infrastructure Support
From airports to downtown cores, we align infrastructure planning with economic goals — helping communities become more connected, more competitive, and better prepared for growth.
Program Development & Management
Need to launch a new initiative? We design and manage custom economic development programs — from concept through delivery — to meet your community's needs. Our team has supported programs in tourism, entrepreneurship, workforce development, and more.
Tourism & Destination Development
Tourism can be a powerful engine of economic development. We help you grow your visitor economy in a way that strengthens your community, supports local business, and builds year-round resilience.
