V3 Companies of Canada Ltd. (V3) has announced the launch of its four-person Planning Group, providing a full range of planning-related and governmental relations consulting services for public and private-sector clients. The addition of the Planning Group augments V3’s existing expertise in surveying, civil engineering design and construction phase services.
The Planning Group is being led by Nick Pryce, RPP, MCIP, who most recently was the Planning Lead for Western Canada for a major multi-national consulting firm. With experience executing complex planning assignments globally and across Canada, Nick brings 25 years of planning experience to V3 in his new role as Planning Group Director.
“We’re thrilled to have someone of Nick’s skill set to launch our planning services,” said Ed Fitch, Vice President of V3. “His passion for client service, communication and quality outcomes is unrivaled. We look forward to him helping our clients achieve their planning-related objectives, and providing V3 with a true ‘one-stop solution’ to address their planning, engineering and construction needs.”
The Planning Group will provide expert consulting on an array of services. The new team has practical project experience carrying out property due diligence studies, development approval consulting, concept plans and GIS mapping, as well as crafting everything from Area Structure Plans, Land Use Bylaws and Municipal Development Plans to urban design projects.
“In addition to providing quality deliverables and documents,” Pryce said, “our team has the insight and knowledge to educate, organize, define and deliver a needed result for our clients.”
Supporting Nick in leadership of the new Group is Jocelyn Mackay, who will serve clients as Strategic Advisor-Governmental Relations. A savvy political veteran who has advised elected officials, municipal staff and private developers, Jocelyn will focus on helping clients evaluate, implement and manage the governmental policy, communication and advocacy efforts and issues that they face daily.
