<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>To the Shareholders of The Keith Companies, Inc.:</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of the shareholders of The Keith
Companies, Inc. to approve the merger of The Keith Companies, Inc. and Stantec Consulting
California Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stantec Inc. Your board of directors has unanimously
approved a merger agreement that will have the effect of combining the businesses of Keith and
Stantec. Your board of directors believes that the merger will benefit you as a shareholder of
Keith and asks for your support in voting to approve the merger agreement at the special meeting of
Keith&#146;s shareholders to be held at 10:30&nbsp;a.m. Pacific Time, on &#091;<U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>&#093; at 19 Technology Drive,
Irvine, California 92618.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the proposed merger, Keith will be merged with and into Stantec Consulting California Inc.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stantec, with Stantec Consulting California Inc. being the surviving
company. If the merger agreement is approved and the merger is consummated, each share of Keith
common stock will be converted into the right to receive (1)&nbsp;US$11.00 in cash, (2)&nbsp;0.23 common
shares of Stantec and (3)&nbsp;that number of Stantec common shares equal to US$5.50, based on the
trading prices of Stantec shares for 20 trading days prior to the merger and then prevailing
currency exchange rates. You will have the right to select the form of merger consideration you
receive by electing (A)&nbsp;a mix of cash and Stantec common shares, as described above, (B)&nbsp;all
Stantec common shares or (C)&nbsp;all cash, subject to pro rata adjustment in the case of (B)&nbsp;or (C)&nbsp;if
one of these options is oversubscribed. Fractional shares will not be issued, but a cash payment
will be made for those fractional shares. Upon consummation of the merger, Keith&#146;s shareholders
will own approximately 17% of the outstanding Stantec common shares.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the merger does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the United
States Internal Revenue Code, Stantec has the option, at its discretion, to complete the merger by
paying cash merger consideration of US$22.00 per share.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>KEITH&#146;S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS APPROVED THE MERGER AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE
SHAREHOLDERS OF KEITH VOTE &#147;FOR&#148; THE APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND ITS TERMS.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Approval of the merger agreement and adjournment of the special meeting requires the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of Keith&#146;s outstanding common stock.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Attached to this letter is an important document providing detailed information concerning
Stantec, Keith, the merger and a more thorough explanation of Keith&#146;s board of directors&#146; view of
the merger, as well as other matters related to the special meeting.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY, INCLUDING THE SECTION DESCRIBING RISK FACTORS BEGINNING
ON PAGE 15.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>IT IS IMPORTANT TO VOTE YOUR SHARES, IN PERSON OR BY PROXY, BECAUSE THE FAILURE TO VOTE WILL
HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS A VOTE AGAINST THE MERGER. Whether or not you plan to attend the special
meeting, please submit your proxy promptly by internet in accordance with the instructions on the
enclosed proxy card or by completing, dating and returning your proxy card in the enclosed
envelope. Returning the proxy card or otherwise submitting your proxy does not deprive you of your
right to attend the special meeting and vote in person.</B>

approximately US$10.81. The number of shares that Stantec will issue
as merger consideration is partly fixed and partly variable. The

of the Code. The following assumes that the merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Code. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to you will depend on the form of the merger
consideration that you receive. If you exchange your Keith common stock solely for Stantec common shares, you generally
will not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange except to the extent that you receive cash in lieu of fractional
Stantec common shares. If you exchange your Keith common stock for a combination of Stantec common shares and cash and
your adjusted tax basis in the Keith common stock surrendered in the merger is less than the sum of the fair market value
of the Stantec common shares and the cash that you receive, you generally will recognize gain equal to the lesser of (1)
the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of the Stantec common shares that you receive minus the adjusted
tax basis of the Keith common stock surrendered or (2)&nbsp;the amount of cash that you receive. If your adjusted tax basis in
the Keith common stock surrendered in the merger is greater than the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value
of the Stantec common shares received in the merger, you will realize a loss that is not currently allowed or recognized
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If you exchange your Keith
common stock solely for cash, you generally will recognize gain or
loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash
that you receive and your adjusted tax basis in the Keith common
stock surrendered. If the merger does not qualify as a reorganization
under Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Code and Stantec elects to consummate the merger for US$22.00 cash,
you will generally recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of
cash you receive and your adjusted tax basis in the Keith common stock surrendered. For a more detailed description of
the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, please see &#147;The Merger &#151; Material U.S. Federal Income Tax

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>The Merger</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are proposing a merger of Keith and Stantec Consulting, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Stantec. Following completion of the merger, Stantec Consulting will continue as the surviving
corporation of the merger and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stantec.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the merger agreement attached as Appendix&nbsp;A to this proxy statement/prospectus,
each share of Keith common stock will be exchanged for merger consideration equal to: (1)&nbsp;US$11.00
in cash, (2)&nbsp;0.23 common shares of Stantec and (3)&nbsp;that number of Stantec common shares equal to
US$5.50, based on the 20-day average trading price of Stantec common shares prior to the merger.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holders of Keith common stock will have the right to elect to receive their merger
consideration in the form of (A)&nbsp;a mixture of cash and Stantec common shares, as described above,
(B)&nbsp;all Stantec common shares or (C)&nbsp;all cash, subject in the case of (B)&nbsp;and (C)&nbsp;to pro rata
adjustment if the amount of Stantec common shares or cash is oversubscribed.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the merger will not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section
368(a) of the Code, Stantec has the option, at its sole discretion, to complete the merger by
paying cash merger consideration of US$22.00 per share of Keith common stock rather than the merger
consideration described above. In such circumstances, you would receive US$22.00 in cash for each
and every share of Keith common stock you own. If the merger does not qualify as a tax-free
reorganization and Stantec does not exercise its option to pay all cash, Keith will not be
obligated to consummate the merger.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>The Special Meeting</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>When and Where</I>. The special meeting will be held at 10:30&nbsp;a.m. Pacific Time on &#091;&#95;&#95;&#95;&#093;, 2005

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Purpose of the Special Meeting</I>. The purpose of the special meeting is to vote upon approval
of the merger agreement.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Record Date; Voting Power</I>. Only holders of Keith common stock as of the close of business on
<B>&#091;record date&#093;</B>, the record date, are entitled to vote at the special meeting or any adjournment or
postponement of the special meeting. Each share of Keith common stock is entitled to one vote.
The holders of Keith options do not have voting rights and will not be entitled to vote at the
special meeting.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Required Vote</I>. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Keith common stock as of the record date is required to approve the merger agreement. Votes may be

which Stantec agreed to cause Stantec Consulting to make an offer of employment to Mr.&nbsp;Keith and
Mr.&nbsp;Keith agreed, subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions, including the receipt of
US$525,000, to terminate his existing change in control agreement with Keith. See &#147;Other
Agreements&#151;Letter Agreement.&#148;



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Recommendation of Keith&#146;s Board of Directors</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Keith&#146;s board of directors has unanimously determined that the merger agreement and the merger
are fair to, and in the best interests of, Keith&#146;s public shareholders, and approved and declared
advisable the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;KEITH&#146;S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE &#147;FOR&#148; APPROVAL OF THE MERGER
AGREEMENT AND ITS TERMS.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Recommendation of Keith&#146;s Financial Advisor</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In deciding to approve the merger agreement and the merger, Keith&#146;s board of directors
received a written opinion of Bear, Stearns &#038; Co. Inc. delivered to Keith&#146;s board of directors on
April&nbsp;14, 2005 to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion, based upon and subject to various
considerations and assumptions set forth in the opinion, the merger consideration to be received by
Keith&#146;s shareholders pursuant to the merger agreement is fair from a financial point of view. The
full text of Bear Stearns&#146; written opinion is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as
Appendix&nbsp;B. You are encouraged to read this opinion carefully in its entirety for a description of
the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the reviews
undertaken by Bear Stearns.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When you consider the Keith board of directors&#146; recommendation to vote in favor of approval of
the merger agreement, you should be aware that Keith&#146;s executive officers and directors may have
interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of the other
Keith shareholders. Aram H. Keith, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Keith, has granted
a proxy to Stantec to vote the Keith common stock held by a trust in which he is one of the
trustees, in favor of the merger agreement. Mr.&nbsp;Keith has also entered into a letter agreement
with Stantec pursuant to which he will, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
including the receipt of US$525,000, become Vice Chairman of Stantec at the first Stantec board
meeting following consummation of the merger. Mr.&nbsp;Keith as well as Eric C. Nielsen, Keith&#146;s

equal to the merger consideration less the exercise price of such option. Stantec has also agreed
to substitute unvested restricted Stantec common shares for shares of unvested Keith restricted
common stock at the effective time of the merger. Several of Keith&#146;s executive officers and
directors hold unvested options to purchase Keith common stock and unvested Keith restricted common
stock. In the merger agreement, Stantec has agreed to maintain existing indemnification
arrangements for Keith directors and officers against certain liabilities arising before and after

declared advisable the merger agreement and determined that the merger agreement and the merger are
fair to, and in the best interests of, Keith and its shareholders. See &#147;The Merger&#151;Interests of

reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code in which each of Stantec, Keith
and Stantec Consulting will be a party to the reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b)
of the Code. Assuming the merger so qualifies, the exchange of Keith common stock for Stantec
common shares in the merger generally will not result in the recognition of gain by U.S. Holders
(as defined under &#147;Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences&#148;) (except as described under
&#147;Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences&#148; in the case of a 5% transferee shareholder who does
not enter into a &#147;gain recognition agreement&#148; in accordance with applicable Treasury regulations).
It is a condition to the closing that Stantec and Keith shall have each received opinions to such
effect from Shearman &#038; Sterling LLP and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer &#038; Feld LLP, respectively, which
opinions shall not have been withdrawn or modified in any material respect. These opinions rely
upon certain factual representations made by Stantec, Keith and Stantec Consulting as of the date
of this proxy statement/prospectus. The issuance of such opinions is conditioned upon the receipt
by each of Shearman &#038; Sterling LLP and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer &#038; Feld LLP of certain additional
factual representations to be made by Stantec, Keith and Stantec Consulting, which representations
shall be dated on or before the date of such opinions and shall not have been withdrawn or modified
in any material respects.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to a particular U.S. Holder of Keith
common stock will depend on the form of consideration received by the U.S. Holder in exchange for
its Keith common stock. Assuming that the merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section
368(a) of the Code, a U.S. Holder who exchanges Keith common stock solely for Stantec common shares
generally will not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange except to the extent that the U.S.
Holder receives cash in lieu of fractional Stantec common shares. If a U.S. Holder exchanges its
Keith common stock for a combination of Stantec common shares and cash and the U.S. Holder&#146;s
adjusted tax basis in the Keith common stock surrendered in the merger is less than the sum of the
fair market value, as of the date of the merger, of the Stantec common shares and the amount of
cash received by the U.S. Holder, then the U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain equal to the
lesser of (1)&nbsp;the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value, as of the date of the
merger, of the Stantec common shares received by the U.S. Holder minus the adjusted tax basis of
the Keith common stock surrendered therefor or (2)&nbsp;the amount of cash that the U.S. Holder
receives. If a U.S. Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the Keith common stock surrendered in the
merger is greater than the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of the Stantec
common shares received in the merger, the U.S. Holder will realize a loss that is not currently
allowed or recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. Holder who exchanges Keith
common stock solely for cash in the merger generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal
to the difference between the amount of cash received and the U.S. Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in
the Keith common stock surrendered in the merger.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The conversion of Keith common stock into the right to receive Stantec common shares and cash
(including cash instead of fractional common shares) pursuant to the merger will not, in general,
give rise to Canadian tax for holders of Keith common stock who are not and who are not deemed to
be resident in Canada. Dividends paid or credited to holders of Stantec common shares who are not
and who are not deemed to be resident in Canada are subject to a Canadian withholding tax of 25%.
Under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), referred to in this proxy
statement/prospectus as the Convention, the rate of that withholding tax is generally reduced to
15% for holders resident in the United States. Assuming that Stantec common shares are not

merger until each of them notifies and furnishes required information to the Antitrust Division of
the U.S. Department of Justice and to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, and the required waiting
period has expired or been earlier terminated. Each of Stantec and Keith have filed a pre-merger

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As is described above, and as is more fully detailed in the merger agreement attached to this
proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix&nbsp;A, a fixed exchange ratio of 0.23 forms part of the merger
consideration calculation regardless of which form of merger consideration you elect to receive.
Therefore, the dollar value of the merger consideration you receive under any of option (1), (2)&nbsp;or
(3)&nbsp;above is dependent on the trading price of Stantec common shares prior to the time that the
merger is consummated. The market price of Stantec common shares will likely be different, and may
be lower, on the date you receive your Stantec common shares than the market price of Stantec
common shares as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or the date of the special meeting.
Similarly, for those shareholders who elect to receive all or part of their consideration in
Stantec common shares, the number of Stantec common shares that such shareholders will receive will
vary depending on the average trading price of Stantec common shares prior to the merger. The
higher the average trading price, the fewer Stantec common shares you will receive and the lower
the average trading price, the more Stantec common shares you will receive. In addition, part of
the value in U.S. dollars of the merger consideration you receive will vary depending upon changes
in the applicable currency exchange rate. In all cases, the exact amount of cash or number of
shares you will receive is not currently known.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the price of Keith common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the
merger may vary from its price on the date the merger agreement was executed, on the date of this
proxy statement/prospectus and on the date of the special meeting. Variations in the prices of
Keith common stock and of Stantec common shares prior to the effective time of the merger and of
Stantec common shares after the effective time may be the result of various factors, including:

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, in the event that the merger is not completed and the Keith board of directors
determines to seek another merger or business combination, it may not be able to find a
partner willing to pay an equivalent or more attractive price than that which would have been
paid in the merger with Stantec Consulting.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>An election to receive all shares or all cash may not result in a payment in all shares or all
cash.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your ability to receive all shares or all cash will be subject to a pro rata adjustment should
one of these alternatives be oversubscribed. For example, on the one hand if the number of Stantec
common shares that Keith shareholders elect to receive is greater than the total number of Stantec
common shares that Stantec is required to issue, then you will receive a proportionate allocation
of Stantec common shares and cash based on the formula set out in the merger agreement. On the
other hand, if the amount of cash that Keith shareholders elect to receive is greater than the
total amount of cash that Stantec is required to pay, then you will receive a proportionate
allocation of cash and Stantec common shares based on the formula set out in the merger agreement.
Therefore, even if you elect to receive all stock and are required to take some cash as part of
your consideration, you may recognize a gain under U.S. federal income tax laws and thus be exposed
to a tax liability. Similarly, even if you should elect to receive all cash in exchange for your
Keith common stock, you may receive some Stantec common shares as part of your consideration and
the value of your all cash election will depend on the average trading price of Stantec common
shares prior to the merger.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>The fairness opinion provided by Bear Stearns was given as of the date of the merger agreement

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The opinion of Bear Stearns, financial advisor to the Keith board of directors, addresses the
fairness from a financial point of view of the merger consideration to be received by Keith
shareholders based on the financial, economic, market and other conditions as they existed on April
14, 2005 and not at any later time. Significant time has elapsed since the date of the fairness
opinion and changes in conditions, which are beyond the control of Keith, Stantec and Bear Stearns,
and on which the opinion is based, may have altered the value of Keith common stock or Stantec
common shares. In addition, Bear Stearns has the ability to withdraw or modify the fairness
opinion.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>The fairness opinion provided by Bear Stearns is based on various assumptions and is subject
to various limitations.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In its review and analysis and in formulating its opinion, Bear Stearns assumed and relied,
without independent verification, upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other
information provided to it by Keith and Stantec, including the range of projected financial results
provided to it by management of Keith, and assumed that the financial information and range of
projected financial results were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently
available judgments and estimates of Keith management. Bear Stearns did not assume any
responsibility for making or obtaining an independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or
liabilities of Keith or Stantec, and no such independent valuation or appraisal was provided to
Bear Stearns.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Keith&#146;s shareholders may receive a lower return on their investment after the merger.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although Stantec and Keith believe that the merger will create financial, operational and
strategic benefits for the combined company and its shareholders, these benefits may not be
achieved. The combination of Keith&#146;s and Stantec&#146;s businesses, even if conducted in an efficient,
effective and timely manner, may not result in combined financial performance that is better than
what each company would have achieved independently if the merger had not occurred.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Stantec and Keith may experience difficulties in integrating Keith&#146;s business with the
existing operations of Stantec and so may not realize the anticipated benefits of the merger.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stantec&#146;s and Keith&#146;s rationales for the merger are, in part, predicated on our ability to
leverage the combined strengths of the two companies to increase opportunities and grow revenue.
Integrating Keith&#146;s operations and personnel with those of Stantec will be a complex process and
Stantec may not be able to complete the process rapidly or without encountering difficulties. The
successful integration of Keith&#146;s operations with those of Stantec will require, among other
things, integration of Keith&#146;s and Stantec&#146;s professional services, sales and marketing operations,
information and software systems and coordination of employee retention and hiring and training
operations. The diversion of the attention of management to the integration effort and any
difficulties encountered in combining operations could adversely affect the combined company&#146;s
businesses and prevent them from realizing the anticipated improvement in professional service
offerings, market penetration and geographic presence that form the foundation for the merger.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Uncertainties associated with the merger or Stantec as a new owner may cause Keith to lose
customers.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Keith&#146;s customers may, in response to the announcement of the merger, delay or defer decisions
concerning their use of Keith&#146;s services because of uncertainties related to the consummation of
the merger, including that the merger may not be consummated if all of the conditions to the merger
are not fulfilled. This could have an adverse effect on Stantec&#146;s business, results of operations
or financial condition following the merger.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Uncertainties associated with the merger may cause a loss of employees.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The ability to attract and retain trained professionals is one of the key drivers of Stantec&#146;s
business and results. Therefore, the success of the combined company after the merger will depend
in part upon the ability of Stantec and Keith to retain key employees of both companies.
Competition for qualified personnel can be very intense. In addition, key employees may depart
because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of the consummation of the merger, the
integration or a desire not to remain with the combined company. Accordingly, no assurance can be
given that Stantec or Keith will be able to retain key employees to the same extent that they have
been able to do so in the past.

in the Merger.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Stantec is governed by the laws of Canada, and, as a result, it may not be possible for
shareholders to enforce civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stantec is governed by the laws of Canada. A substantial portion of Stantec&#146;s assets are
located outside the United States, and some of Stantec&#146;s directors and all of its officers and some
of the experts named in this proxy statement/prospectus are residents outside of the United States.
As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service within the United States upon
Stantec and those directors, officers and experts, or to realize in the United States upon
judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liability of Stantec and such
directors, officers or experts under the United States federal securities laws. There is
uncertainty as to the enforceability in Canada by a court in original actions, or in actions to
enforce judgments of United States courts, of the civil liabilities predicated upon the United
States federal securities laws.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Stantec expects to maintain its status as a &#147;foreign private issuer&#148; under the rules and
regulations of the SEC and, thus, will be exempt from a number of rules under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and will be permitted to file less information with the SEC than a company
incorporated in the United States.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a &#147;foreign private issuer,&#148; Stantec will be exempt from rules under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, referred to in the proxy statement/prospectus as the Exchange Act, that impose certain
disclosure and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section&nbsp;14 of the Exchange
Act. In addition, Stantec&#146;s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the
reporting and &#147;short-swing&#148; profit recovery provisions of Section&nbsp;16 of the Exchange Act and the
rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of Stantec common shares.
Moreover, Stantec will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the
SEC as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, nor will
it be required to comply with Regulation&nbsp;FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material
information. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning Stantec than
there is for U.S. public companies such as Keith. Moreover, Stantec expects to be eligible to use
the Canada-U.S. multijurisdictional disclosure system, which will permit Stantec to meet most of
its continuous disclosure obligations by filing Canadian disclosure documents with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Such Canadian disclosure documents differ from the disclosure required of
a U.S. company. In addition, Stantec will not be required to have its internal controls audited
pursuant to Section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act until it issues its annual report for the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2006.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Stantec common shares are not currently listed on any U.S. stock exchange or quotation system
and its listing application may not be approved.</I></B>

Stantec common shares on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq National Market is a condition to
Keith&#146;s obligations under the merger agreement. However, Keith has the ability to waive this
requirement and consummate the merger even if Stantec is unable to list its common shares on a U.S.
exchange. If Stantec is unsuccessful in listing its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange
or the Nasdaq National Market, and Keith waives the listing condition, your Stantec common shares
will only be tradable through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>The merger agreement contains provisions that may discourage other companies from trying to
acquire Keith.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The merger agreement contains provisions that may discourage a third party from submitting a
business combination proposal to Keith that might result in greater value to Keith&#146;s shareholders
than the merger. These provision include the prohibition on Keith from soliciting any acquisition
proposals or offers for competing transactions and the requirement that Keith pay a US$3.0&nbsp;million
termination fee plus Stantec&#146;s expenses if the merger agreement is terminated in specified
circumstances.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Risks Related to Stantec&#146;s Business</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>We may be unsuccessful in our goal to increase the size and profitability of our operations.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To help reduce our susceptibility to industry-specific and regional economic cycles and to
take advantage of economies of scale in the highly fragmented professional services industry, we
intend to continue to diversify our business both in terms of geographic presence and service
offerings. Since the beginning of 2002, we have completed 18 acquisitions and we expect to
continue to pursue selective acquisitions of business that will enable us to enhance our market
penetration and increase and diversify our revenue base. However, we may not be able to locate
suitable acquisitions or be able to consummate any such transactions on terms and conditions
acceptable to us. As the professional services industry consolidates, suitable acquisition
candidates are expected to become more difficult to locate and may only be available at prices or
under terms that are less favorable than in the past. In addition, some of our competitors are
much larger than us and have greater financial resources than us and can better afford to pay a
premium for potential acquisition candidates. If we are unable to effectively compete for or
locate suitable acquisitions, our business will not grow in the manner we expect and we will have
difficulty achieving our goals for growth.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>If we are unable to effectively manage our growth, we may experience a decline in our revenue
and profitability.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have grown rapidly in the recent past. For example, our gross revenue has doubled in the
past five years. We intend to pursue further growth through acquisitions and otherwise, as part of
our business strategy, but we may not be able to manage our growth effectively and efficiently.
Our inability to manage our growth could cause us to incur unforeseen costs, time delays or other
negative impacts, any of which could cause a decline in our revenue and profitability. Our rapid
growth has presented and will continue to present, numerous administrative and operational
challenges, including the management of an expanding array of engineering and consulting services,
the assimilation of financial reporting systems, increased pressure on our senior management and
increased demand on our systems and internal controls. Furthermore, as we expand our service
offerings and geographic presence, we may not be able to maintain the current level of quality of
services.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We also may encounter difficulties integrating acquisitions that we do make. For example, we
acquired Beak International Incorporated in October&nbsp;2002, but were not successful in
integrating that firm and have sold the majority of that business back to various employee groups.
Acquired businesses may not be profitable because we may not be successful in generating the same
level of operating performance that an acquired company experienced prior to the acquisition.
Also, we may not be able to maintain our reputation in an acquired entity&#146;s geographic area or
service offerings and as a consequence our ability to attract and retain clients in those or other
areas may be negatively impacted. Any of these integration issues could divert management&#146;s
attention from other business activities. Such a diversion, together with other difficulties we
may encounter in integrating an acquired business, could have a material adverse effect on its
business, financial condition and results of operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>From time to time, we have pursued and may continue to pursue and invest in business
opportunities that are not directly within our core competencies. If these business opportunities
are not profitable, our results of operations may be materially adversely affected.</I></B>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acquisitions may bring us into businesses that we have not previously conducted and expose us
to additional business risks that are different than those we have traditionally experienced. For
example, we acquired GKO Engineering in March of 2002. GKO provided services in the industrial
market segment, an area in which we previously did not have a significant presence. Consequently,
we may depend in part upon the knowledge and expertise of the professional service providers and
management teams that we acquire in order to make these business opportunities profitable. New
business opportunities frequently bring with them a learning curve that may require substantial
management time, which may create a distraction from our day-to-day business operations. If these
business opportunities do not perform as anticipated or are not profitable, our earnings in those
periods may be materially adversely affected and we may experience a partial or complete loss of
our investment.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>We may be unable to secure the additional capital required to fund our acquisition strategy.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to fund future acquisitions we will need access to substantial amounts of capital.
However, we may be unable to obtain the necessary capital to finance a successful acquisition
program while meeting our other cash needs. If we are unable to obtain additional capital on
acceptable terms, we may be required to reduce the scope of our anticipated expansion, which may
negatively affect our future competitiveness and results of operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Currently, we intend to use cash and our common shares as consideration in making future
acquisitions. Using internally generated cash or taking on debt to complete acquisitions could
substantially limit our operational and financial flexibility. The extent to which we will be able
or willing to use our common shares for acquisitions will depend on the market value of our shares
from time to time and the willingness of potential sellers to accept our shares as full or partial
payment. In addition, using our shares for future acquisitions may result in a significant
dilution to existing shareholders.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>The professional consulting services industry is highly competitive.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The markets that we serve are highly competitive and we have numerous competitors for all of
the services we offer. The principal competitive factors in the services we offer are: reputation;
experience; breadth and quality of services; technical proficiency; local offices; competitive
total project fees; and service delivery. The number and identity of competitors varies widely
with the type of service we provide. For small to medium sized projects, we compete with many
engineering, architectural and other professional consulting firms. With larger projects, there
are fewer but still many competitors and many of these competitors have greater financial and other
resources than we do. While we compete with other large private and public companies in certain
geographic locations, our primary competitors are smaller privately held regional firms in the
United States and Canada. Competition places downward pressure on our contract prices and profit
margins. Intense competition is expected to continue in these markets, presenting us with
significant challenges in our ability to maintain strong growth rates and acceptable profit
margins. If we are unable to meet these competitive challenges, we could lose market share to our
competitors and experience an overall reduction in our profits. We may not be able to compete
successfully with such competitors and such competition could cause us to lose customers, increase
expenditures or reduce pricing, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our earnings
and stock price.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Economic downturns could have a negative impact on our businesses.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Demand for the services offered by us has been, and is expected to continue to be, subject to
significant fluctuations due to a variety of factors beyond our control, including economic
conditions. During economic downturns, the ability of both private and governmental entities to
make expenditures may decline significantly. We cannot be certain that economic or political
conditions will be generally favorable or that there will not be significant fluctuations adversely
affecting our industry as a whole or key markets targeted by us.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Our business could suffer if there is a downturn in the real estate market.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the merger as if it had occurred on January&nbsp;1,
2004, we estimate that approximately 43% of our 2004 net revenue would have been derived from
services related to residential and commercial real estate development projects. Consequently,
reduced demand in the real estate market would likely have an adverse impact on our urban land
group. The real estate market and, therefore, our business, may be impacted by a number of
factors, which may include:

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">A significant decrease in the demand for our real estate related services could have a material
adverse effect on our overall business, including our results of operations and liquidity.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>We derive revenue from contracts with government agencies. Any disruption in government
funding or in our relationship with those agencies could adversely affect our business.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The demand for our services is related to the level of government funding that is allocated to
rebuild, improve and expand infrastructure systems. We derive a significant amount of our revenue
from government or government-funded projects and expect to continue to derive a significant amount
of our revenue from such projects in the future. Significant changes in the level of government
funding could have an unfavorable impact on our business, financial position, results of operations
and cash flows.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that the success and further development of our business depends, in part, upon the
continued funding of these government programs and upon our ability to participate in them.
Governments may not have the available resources to fund these programs or may not fund these
programs even if governments have available financial resources. Some of these government
contracts are subject to renewal or extensions annually, so we cannot be assured of our continued
work under these contracts in the future. In addition, government agencies can terminate these
contracts at their convenience. As a result, we may incur costs in connection with the termination
of these contracts and suffer a loss of business. Also, contracts with government agencies are
sometimes subject to substantial regulation and audit of actual costs incurred. Consequently,
there may be a downward adjustment to our revenue if accrued recoverable costs exceed actual
recoverable costs.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>We may have difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified professionals, which may harm our
reputation in the marketplace and restrict our ability to implement our business strategy.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We derive our revenue almost exclusively from services performed by our professionals.
Consequently, one of the key drivers of our business is our ability to attract and retain qualified
professionals. We may not be able to attract and retain the desired number of professionals over
the short or long term. There is significant competition for professionals with the skills
necessary for providing our services from major and boutique consulting, engineering, public
agency, research and other professional service firms. Our inability to attract and retain
qualified professionals could impede our ability to secure and complete engagements, in which event
we may lose market share and our revenue and profit may decline. In addition, if our employees
leave our company and become competitors of ours, we may lose other employees and some of our
existing clients that have formed relationships with such former employees. We may also lose
future clients to a former employee as a new competitor. In either event, we could lose clients
and revenue, and our profitability could decline.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>If we are unable to engage qualified subcontractors, we may lose projects, revenue and
clients.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We often contract with outside companies to perform designated portions of the services we
perform for our clients. In 2004, subcontractor costs accounted for approximately 8.6% of our
gross revenue. If we are unable to engage qualified subcontractors, our ability to perform under
some of our contracts may be impeded and the quality of our service may decline. As a consequence,
we may lose projects, revenue and clients.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>The nature of our business exposes us to potential liability claims and contract disputes,
which may reduce our profits.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our operations are subject to the risk of third-party claims in the normal course of our
business, some of which may be substantial. We have been and may in the future be named as a
defendant in legal proceedings where parties may make a claim for damages or other remedies with
respect to our projects or other matters. For example, one of our subsidiaries is named in a
lawsuit related to design services it provided for a roadway in New York State in connection with a
multi-vehicle accident that occurred on the roadway. See &#147;Description of Stantec&#146;s Business&#151;Legal
Proceedings.&#148; Any litigation resulting from our business operations could distract management
attention from normal business operations, divert financial resources to the defense of such claims
or result in significant attorney

reputation. Any of these circumstances could adversely affect our profitability.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Our insurance may not cover all claims for which we may be liable and expenses related to
insurance coverage may adversely impact our profitability.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We maintain insurance coverage for our operations, including policies covering general
liability, automobile liability, environmental liability, workers&#146; compensation and employers&#146;
liability, directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability and professional liability insurance. The maximum
coverage under our professional liability policy is generally C$35&nbsp;million per claim and per year,
with a per claim deductible of C$500,000 and an aggregate excess deductible of C$2.5&nbsp;million. In
September&nbsp;2003, we established a regulated captive insurance company to insure and fund the payment
of any professional liability self-insured retentions related to claims arising after August&nbsp;1,
2003. We, or our clients, also obtain project-specific insurance for designated projects from
time-to-time. Although we believe that we have made adequate arrangements for insuring against the
above risks, there is no assurance that these arrangements will sufficiently cover any particular
risk. When it is determined that we have liability, we may not be covered by insurance or, if
covered, the dollar amount of these liabilities may exceed our policy limits. Our professional
liability coverage is on a &#147;claims-made&#148; basis covering only claims actually made during the policy
period currently in effect. In addition, even where insurance is maintained for such exposures,
the policies have deductibles resulting in our assuming exposure for a layer of coverage with
respect to any such claims. Any liability not covered by our insurance, in excess of our insurance
limits or, if covered by insurance but subject to a high deductible, could result in a significant
loss for us, which may reduce our profits and cash available for operations. Moreover, we may
become subject to liability that cannot be insured against or against which we may choose not to
insure because of high premium costs or for other reasons. Our expansion into new services or
geographic areas could result in our failure to obtain coverage for these services or areas, or the
coverage being offered may be at a higher cost than our current coverage. Due to the current
insurance environment, we have experienced and may continue to experience an increase in our
insurance premiums. We may not be able to pass these increases on to our clients in increased
billing rates.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>If we experience delays and/or defaults in customer payments, we could suffer liquidity
problems or we could be unable to recover our expenditures.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because of the nature of our contracts, at times we commit resources to projects prior to
receiving payments from the customer in amounts sufficient to cover expenditures on client projects
as they are incurred. Delays in customer payments may require us to make a working capital
investment. If a customer defaults in making its payments on a project in which we have devoted
significant resources, it could have a material negative effect on our liquidity and results of
operations. In addition, clients that withhold payment are more likely to bring claims against us
and they have a higher tendency toward dissatisfaction with the services we provide.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>We bear the risk of cost overruns in a significant number of our contracts. We may experience
reduced profits or, in some cases, losses under these contracts if costs increase above our
estimates.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We conduct our business under various types of contractual arrangements, most of which are fee
for service. However, approximately 67% of the dollar-value of our contracts are based on a fixed
fee or time-and-materials contract with a ceiling on the maximum costs to the client. Under
fixed-fee contracts, we perform services at a stipulated price. Under time-and-materials contracts
with not-to-exceed provisions, we are reimbursed for the number of labor hours expended at an
established hourly rate plus the cost of materials incurred, subject, however, to a stated maximum
dollar amount for the services to be provided under the contract. In both of these types of
contracts, we agree to provide our services based on our estimate of the costs a particular project
will involve. These estimates are established in part on cost and scheduling projections, which
may prove inaccurate, or circumstances may change such as unanticipated technical problems,
weaknesses in project management, difficulties in obtaining permits or approvals, changes in local
laws or delays beyond our ability to control. Underestimation of costs for these types of
contracts may cause us to incur losses or result in a project not being as profitable as we
expected. In addition, projects not completed on schedule further reduce profitability because
personnel must continue to work on the project longer than anticipated, which may prevent them from
pursuing and working on new projects. Projects that are over budget or not on schedule can also
lead to client dissatisfaction.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>We derive revenue from contracts for work performed in countries other than Canada and the
United States, which are subject to a number of risks that could adversely affect the results of

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The work that we currently perform in locations other than Canada and the United States does
not represent a significant part of our business, and during 2004, net revenue generated from work
in such locations, including Asia, South America, the Middle East, the Caribbean and Africa,
represented approximately 1% of our net revenue. We may, however, continue to seek opportunities
abroad in the future which may increase our concentration of net revenue from locations other than
Canada and the United States. Such foreign business is subject to the customary risks associated
with foreign transactions, including political risks, local laws and taxes, difficulty in enforcing
contracts, the potential imposition of trade or currency exchange restrictions, tariff increases
and difficulties or delays in collecting accounts receivables. Weak foreign economies could have
an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an
uncertain indicator of our future earnings.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of December&nbsp;31, 2004, our backlog was approximately C$380.0&nbsp;million. The revenue projected
in our backlog may not be realized or, if realized, may not result in profits. Projects may remain
in our backlog for an extended period of time. In addition, project cancellations or scope
adjustments may occur, from time to time, with respect to contracts reflected in our backlog.
Backlog reductions can adversely affect the revenue and profit we actually receive from contracts
reflected in our backlog. Future project cancellations and scope adjustments could further reduce
the dollar amount of our backlog and the revenue and profits that we actually receive. Finally,
poor project or contract performance could also impact our profits.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>We are exposed to currency exchange risk that could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial condition.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While we report our financial results in Canadian dollars, a substantial portion of our
revenue and expenses are in U.S. dollars. For purposes of financial reporting under Canadian GAAP,
revenue and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the
average exchange rates prevailing during the year. We expect to continue to report our financial
results in Canadian dollars in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Therefore, if the Canadian dollar
were to strengthen relative to the U.S. dollar and other currencies, the amount of net income from
non-Canadian dollar denominated business could decrease which could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We enter into forward contracts to manage risk associated with net operating assets outside of
our U.S. operations denominated in U.S. dollars (other than with respect to net operating assets
that are owned by U.S. subsidiaries). These derivative contracts, which are not accounted for as
hedges, are marked to market, and any changes in the market value are recorded in income or expense
when the changes occur. As a result, we may not benefit from any weakening of the Canadian dollar
relative to the U.S. dollar.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To establish and protect our intellectual property rights, we rely upon a combination of
trademark and trade secret laws, together with licenses, exclusivity agreements and other
contractual covenants. The measures we take to protect our intellectual property rights may prove
inadequate to prevent misappropriation of its intellectual property. Litigation may be necessary
to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the
proprietary rights of others. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and
diversion of resources, may result in counterclaims or other claims against us and could
significantly harm our results of operations.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Field activities are generally performed outdoors and may include surveying, archeology, plant
start-up and testing, and plant operations. Certain weather conditions and natural and other
disasters, such as fire, floods, and similar events, may cause postponements in the initiation
and/or completion of our field activities and may hinder the ability of our office employees to
arrive at work, which may result in a delay or elimination of revenue that otherwise would have
been recognized, while certain costs will continue to be incurred. Adverse weather conditions or
disasters may also delay or eliminate our initiation and/or completion of the various phases of
work relating to our other engineering services that commence concurrent with or subsequent to

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the stock market has experienced volatility that has affected the market prices
of equity securities of many companies, and that has often been unrelated to the operating
performance of such companies. A number of other factors, many of which are beyond our control,
could also cause the market price of our common shares to fluctuate substantially. As a result,
you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the associated value of Keith&#146;s shares on the
date of the merger, if at all.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Our share price could be adversely affected if a large number of our common shares are offered
for sale or sold.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the ability of Keith&#146;s shareholders to elect to receive cash or stock or mixed
consideration in exchange for their Keith shares upon consummation of the merger, some of the Keith
shareholders may subsequently decide to dispose of their Stantec shares following the merger which
could lead to a large supply of our common shares on the market. If the supply of our common
shares is significantly greater than the associated demand, the market price of our common shares
may significantly decline and may not recover.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Significant fluctuation in the market price of our common shares could result in securities
class action claims against us.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the past, following periods of downward volatility in the market price of a company&#146;s
securities, class action litigation has often been pursued against the respective company. If our
common shares were similarly volatile and similar litigation were pursued against us, it could
result in substantial costs and a diversion of management&#146;s attention and resources.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>If we need to sell or issue additional common shares and/or incur additional debt to finance
future acquisitions, your stock ownership could be diluted and our results of operations could be
adversely affected.</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our business strategy is to expand into new markets and enhance our position in existing
markets through the acquisition of complementary businesses. In order to successfully complete
targeted acquisitions or to fund our other activities, we may issue additional equity securities
that could dilute your stock ownership. We may also incur additional debt if we acquire another
company and this could negatively impact our results of operations.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Some of the statements contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including those relating
to Stantec&#146;s strategies and other statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or
refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as &#147;expects,&#148; &#147;anticipates,&#148;
&#147;intends,&#148; &#147;plans,&#148; &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;estimates&#148; or similar expressions, are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the information concerning possible or
assumed future results of operations of Stantec and Keith as set forth under &#147;The Merger &#151; Reasons
for Stantec&#146;s Board Recommendation,&#148; &#147;The Merger &#151; Reasons for Keith&#146;s Board Recommendation,&#148; and
&#147;The Merger &#151; Opinion of the Keith&#146;s Financial Advisor.&#148; These statements are not historical facts
but instead represent only Stantec&#146;s and/or Keith&#146;s expectations, estimates and projections
regarding future events.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Stantec, Keith or
the combined company to be materially different from any future results, performance, or
achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, among
others:

Canadian dollars and has been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, based on the historical
financial statements of Stantec and Keith, as at and for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004, adjusted
to give effect to the acquisition of Keith by Stantec. The pro forma condensed consolidated
statement of income data for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 gives effect to the acquisition as if
the acquisition had occurred as of January&nbsp;1, 2004. The pro forma condensed consolidated balance
sheet data as of December&nbsp;31, 2004 gives effect to the acquisition as if the acquisition had
occurred as of December&nbsp;31, 2004. The pro forma data is based upon available information and
certain assumptions that management of Stantec believes are reasonable and does not purport to
represent Stantec&#146;s results of operations or financial condition for any future period or as of any
date. You should read the selected pro forma consolidated financial data of Stantec set forth

<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Comparative Per Share Data</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table presents, as at and for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004, selected pro
forma per share amounts for the Stantec common shares, pro forma per share equivalent amounts for
shares of Keith common stock and the comparative historical per share data for the Stantec common
shares and Keith common stock. The pro forma amounts included in the table below are presented as
if the merger had been effective for the period presented, have been prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP and are based on the purchase method of accounting. All amounts shown are in Canadian
dollars. Keith per share amounts have been converted from U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars at a
rate of C$1.3075 equals US$1.000. The Keith merger equivalent per share amounts were calculated by
multiplying the Stantec unaudited pro forma per share amounts by an assumed exchange ratio of 0.475
based on the portion of the merger consideration to be paid in Stantec common shares and excluding
the cash portion of the merger consideration. The actual exchange ratio will vary based on the
average price of Stantec common shares for each of the 20 trading days ending on the second trading
day prior to the closing of the merger. The pro forma amounts in the tables below do not include
the potential financial benefits from such items as costs savings and revenue synergies arising
from the merger, nor do these amounts include the portion of restructuring and integration costs to
be incurred by Stantec.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You should read this information in conjunction with, and the information is qualified in its
entirety by, the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Stantec and Keith
included or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus and Stantec&#146;s unaudited
pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in
this proxy statement/prospectus. The pro forma amounts in the table below are presented for
information purposes only. You should not rely on the pro forma amounts as being indicative of the
financial position or results of operations of the combined company that would have actually
occurred had the merger been effective as at or during the period presented or of the future
financial position or future results of operations of the combined company. The combined financial
information as at and for the period presented may have been different had the companies actually
been combined as at and during those periods.

of dividends on Stantec common shares in the future will depend on the need of Stantec to finance

<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Stantec</B>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>The following discussion is based upon, should be read in conjunction with and is qualified by
our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this proxy
statement/prospectus. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian
GAAP, which differ from financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For a further
discussion of these differences, see note 21 to our audited financial statements included
elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The following discussion includes certain
forward-looking statements. For a discussion of important factors, including the continuing
development of our business and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially
from the results referred to in the forward-looking statements, see &#147;Risk Factors&#148; and
&#147;Forward-Looking Statements.&#148;</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Overview</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We provide professional consulting services in planning, engineering, architecture, interior
design, landscape architecture, surveying, environmental sciences project management and project
economics for infrastructure and facilities projects. Our goal is to become a top 10 global design
and consulting services firm with C$1&nbsp;billion in annual revenue by the year 2008. To achieve this
objective, we will continue to deliver fee-for-service professional services in the US$50&nbsp;billion
infrastructure and facilities market through our focused, sustainable business model. Our
three-dimensional model &#151; which is based on diversifying our operations in distinct geographic
regions, specializing in distinct but complementary practice areas, and providing services in all
five phases of the infrastructure and facilities project life cycle &#151; allows us to manage risk
while continuing to increase our revenue and earnings.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Geographic Diversification. </I></B>We currently have operations in five economic regions in Canada
and the United States as well as a project presence in the Caribbean and other selected
international locations. Our strategy for geographic diversification has two components. The
first component is to grow our existing regional operations by expanding our services particularly
in areas where we have not yet reached a mature market presence. We target to achieve a market
penetration of C$10&nbsp;million in revenue per one million population in these regions. The second
component includes expansion outside our existing regions principally in the United States and
Canada. We expect to continue to expand geographically primarily by acquiring firms that meet our
integration criteria and to a lesser extent by growing organically.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Practice Area Specialization. </I></B>Specialization and diversification of services are achieved by
providing services in 17 distinct practice areas that can generally be grouped into five key market
segments &#151; buildings, environment, industrial, transportation, and urban land. Focusing on this
combination of project services helps differentiate us from our competitors, allowing us to enhance
our presence in new geographic regions and markets and to establish and maintain client
relationships. Our strategy for strengthening this dimension of our business model is to increase
the depth of our expertise in our current practice areas and to selectively add complementary
practice areas to our operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Life Cycle Solutions. </I></B>We seek to provide professional services in all five phases of the
project life cycle &#151; planning, design, construction, maintenance, and decommissioning. This
inclusive approach allows us to deliver services during periods of strong new capital project
activity, such as design and construction, as well as periods of lower new capital project
expenditures, such as maintenance and rehabilitation. Beginning with the planning and design
stages, we provide conceptual and detailed design services, conduct feasibility studies, and
prepare plans and specifications. During the construction phase, we generally act as the owners&#146;
representative, providing project management, surveying, and resident engineering services. We
focus principally on fee-for-service type work and generally do not act as the contractor or take
on construction risk. Following project completion, during the maintenance stage, we provide
ongoing professional services for maintenance and rehabilitation in areas such as facilities and
infrastructure management, facilities operations, and performance engineering. Finally, in the
decommissioning phase, we provide solutions and recommendations for taking facilities out of active
service.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Through our &#147;One Team. Infinite Solutions.&#148; approach to our business, we are able to
undertake infrastructure and facilities projects of any size for both public and private sector
clients. Currently, the majority of assignments we pursue are small to midsize projects with a
capital value of less than C$100&nbsp;million and potential project fees for Stantec of less than C$10
million. These types of projects represent the largest share of the infrastructure and facilities
market. Focusing on this project mix continues to ensure that we do not rely on a few large,
single projects for our revenue and that no single client or project accounts for more than 5% of
our overall business.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Key Performance Drivers</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our performance depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified people, make the most
of market opportunities, find, acquire, and integrate firms and/or new employees into our
operations, finance our growth, and achieve top-three market penetration in the geographic areas we
serve. Based on our success with these drivers, we believe that we are well positioned to continue
to be a major provider of professional design and consulting services in our principal geographic
regions.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>People. </I></B>Because we are a professional services firm, the most important driver of our
performance is our people. Our employees create the project solutions we deliver to clients.
Thus, to achieve our goal of becoming a top 10 global design firm, we must grow our workforce
through a combination of internal hiring and acquisitions. We measure our success in this area by
total staff numbers. In 2004 our staff increased to approximately 4,350 from 3,700 in 2003.
Currently, our workforce is made up of about 2,150 professionals, 1,550 technical staff and 650
support personnel. We expect our employee numbers to continue to increase in 2005 and beyond as we
pursue our growth plan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To attract and retain qualified staff, we offer opportunities to be part of a multidiscipline
team working on challenging projects with some of the best people in our industry. We are
continually strengthening our people-oriented culture, and in 2004 we completed a number of
activities, including revising our career development and performance review process to enhance our
focus on career development, and modifying and realigning our benefits programs to provide more
personal choice and emphasize wellness and preventative care. These programs will be implemented
in the first quarter of 2005. In addition, improved and enhanced staff training programs are
slated for introduction in the second quarter.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because of our &#147;diversified portfolio&#148; approach to business &#151; operating in different regions
and practice areas &#151; we are generally able to redeploy a portion of our workforce when faced with
changes in local, regional, or national economies or practice area demand. Currently, we see no
overall shortage of qualified staff for our operations. Although there will always be some areas
where it will be difficult to find appropriate staff during certain periods, as we increase in size
we become better able to address these issues by using staff from other parts of the company either
through temporary relocation or changes in work allocation. We are continually improving our
ability to work on projects from multiple office locations through Web-based technology.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Industry Environment/Market Opportunities. </I></B>Another key driver of our success is our ability
to make the most of opportunities to grow in our marketplace. We believe that growth is necessary
in order to enhance the depth and breadth of our expertise, broaden our services, increase our
shareholder value, provide more opportunities for our employees and lever our information
technology systems. Over the last 11&nbsp;years, we have integrated a total of approximately 3,400
employees into our operations through a combination of direct hiring and acquisitions. We are
confident that we can continue to take advantage of acquisition opportunities because we operate in
an industry sector that includes more than 100,000 firms and is estimated to generate over US$50
billion in revenue in North America every year, of which we currently have less than a 1% market
share. (According to the <I>Engineering News Record</I>, the largest 500 engineering and architecture
companies in the United States alone generated nearly US$50&nbsp;billion in fees in 2003.)


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Acquisition and Integration</I></B><B>. </B>Our strategy for increasing our market share is to combine
internal growth with the acquisition of firms that believe in our vision and want to be part of our
growing company. In 2004 we completed four acquisitions for total consideration of C$20.3&nbsp;million,
one in the United States which established a new region for us in the Northeast, and three in
Canada, adding approximately 530 employees to our operations. In 2003 we completed four
acquisitions for total consideration of C$9.4&nbsp;million in our two Canadian regions, adding
approximately 225 employees to our operations. In 2002 we completed 10 acquisitions for total
consideration of C$38.5&nbsp;million, adding approximately 550 employees to our operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The integration of acquired firms begins immediately following the acquisition closing date
and may take between six months and three years. It involves incorporation into our company-wide
information technology and financial management systems as well as provision of &#147;back office&#148;
support services from our corporate office. This approach allows our new staff to focus on
continuing to serve clients with as little interruption as possible.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our acquisition program is managed by an acquisition team dedicated to supporting our growth
objectives. The team is responsible for identifying and valuing acquisition candidates,
undertaking and coordinating due diligence, negotiating and closing transactions, and assisting
with the integration of employees and systems.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Financing. </I></B>Our success also depends on our continuing ability to finance our growth.
Adequate financing gives us the flexibility to make appropriate investments in our future. Over
the past 11&nbsp;years, we have grown at a compound annual rate of 19%. To fund this growth, we require
cash generated from both internal and external sources. Historically, we have completed
acquisitions using mostly cash and notes, with very little use of our common shares.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have sought additional financing through the public sale of shares to maintain our internal
debt to equity guidelines at times when our growth has outpaced our ability to generate cash from
operations. Our practice is to raise additional equity to replenish our cash reserves, pay down
debt, or strengthen our balance sheet. To date, we have issued additional shares for these
purposes on three occasions&#151;in 1997, 2000 and 2002.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Market Penetration</I></B><I>. </I>Also key to our success is achieving a certain level of market
penetration in the geographic areas we serve. Our goal is to be among the top three service
providers in our geographic regions and practice areas. With this level of market presence, we are
less likely to be affected by downturns in regional economies. Top-three positioning also gives us
increased opportunities to work for the best clients, obtain the best projects, and attract the
best employees in a region, and is important for building or maintaining the critical mass of staff
needed to generate consistent performance and support regional infrastructure.

We reduced our investment in accounts receivable (measured by number of days&#146; revenue) to 101&nbsp;days
at the end of 2004 from 119&nbsp;days at the end of 2003. The implementation of our new enterprise
management system during 2003 had a significant impact on our resources&#151;both in terms of people and
finances. Adjusting to the breadth of the new system created a significant learning curve. One of
the impacts was an initial increase in the time required to prepare invoices to send to clients.
As a result, we experienced an increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings
during the fourth quarter of 2003.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Divestitures</I></B><B>. </B>In 2003 we entered into an agreement in principle to dispose of our 50% share
in Lockerbie Stanley Inc. This agreement was finalized in Q3 04. During Q4 04, we divested of our
interest in Goodfellow EFSOP&#153; technology, which comprised our Technology segment.

four completed in 2003, and the 10 completed in 2002. Each of these acquisitions increased the
gross revenue and net income in the year of acquisition and subsequent years.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the course of providing services, we incur certain direct costs for subconsultants,
equipment, and other expenditures that are recoverable directly from our clients. The revenue
associated with these direct costs is included in our gross revenue. Since such direct costs and
their associated revenue can vary significantly from contract to contract, changes in our gross
revenue may not be indicative of our revenue trends. Accordingly, we also report net revenue,
which is gross revenue less subconsultant and other direct expenses, and analyze our results in
relation to net revenue rather than gross revenue.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table summarizes our key operating results on a percentage of net revenue basis
and the percentage increase in the dollar amount of these results from year to year:

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As indicated in the highlights above, our operating results for 2004 are generally
consistent with the goals we established in 2003. In particular, our administrative and marketing
expenses were within the range we expected to achieve, while our gross margin slightly exceeded
expectations. In addition, our effective tax rate continued to fall and, for 2004, was below the
expected range due to factors discussed below.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross revenue earned in Canada during 2004 increased to C$325.8&nbsp;million from C$290.4&nbsp;million
in 2003 and C$238.8&nbsp;million in 2002. Gross revenue generated in the United States increased to
C$190.4&nbsp;million in 2004 compared to C$161.6&nbsp;million in 2003 and C$180.3&nbsp;million in 2002. Gross
revenue earned outside of Canada and the United States in 2004 was C$4.7&nbsp;million, compared to C$7.9
million in 2003 and C$9.4&nbsp;million in 2002. As indicated above, the increase value of the Canadian
dollar compared to the U.S. dollar adversely impacted gross revenue from our U.S. operations by
C$11.3&nbsp;million. This decrease was offset by the acquisition of The Sear-Brown Group, Inc. in April
of 2004, which resulted in an overall increase in our U.S.-generated revenue. The continuing
strength of the Canadian economy also resulted in growth in revenue generated in Canada in 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Gross Margin. </I></B>Gross margin is calculated as the difference of net revenue minus direct
payroll costs, expressed as a percentage of net revenue. Direct payroll costs include the cost of
salaries and related fringe benefits for labor hours that are directly associated with the
completion of projects. Labor costs and related fringe benefits for labor hours that are not
directly associated with the completion of projects are included in administrative and marketing
expenses. Gross margin increased to 54.2% in 2004 from 53.1% in 2003 and 52.4% in 2002. The
increase in our gross margin is due to the lower proportion of total labor that was charged to
projects during 2004 compared to 2003 and 2002 as well as the mix of projects in progress and being
pursued throughout the year. Total labor costs as a percentage of net revenue are consistent from
2003 to 2004 at approximately 67.4% for both years.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Administrative and Marketing Expenses. </I></B>Administrative and marketing expenses as a percentage
of net revenue for 2004 were 40.9% (within the expected range of 39 to 41% for these expenses),
compared to 39.5% in 2003 and 39.9% in 2002. Administrative and marketing expenses fluctuate as a
result of the amount of staff time charged to marketing and administrative labor, which is
influenced by the mix of projects in progress and being pursued throughout the year. In 2004 a
higher proportion of total labor was charged to administrative and marketing labor compared to 2003
and 2002.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Depreciation of Property and Equipment. </I></B>Depreciation of property and equipment as a percentage
of net revenue increased to 2.7% in 2004, compared to 2.5% for 2003 and 2.6% in 2002. In 2004 we
began depreciating our new enterprise management system as well as our new office building in
Edmonton, Alberta.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Foreign Exchange (Gains) Losses. </I></B>We recorded a foreign exchange gain of C$0.1&nbsp;million in
2004, compared to a foreign exchange loss of C$0.6&nbsp;million in 2003 and C$0.1&nbsp;million in 2002. The
foreign exchange gains and losses reported in 2004, 2003 and 2002 arose on the translation of the
foreign-denominated assets and liabilities held in our Canadian companies and foreign subsidiaries
(excluding our U.S. subsidiaries). While there was periodic weakening in the Canadian dollar in
2002, in 2003 the Canadian dollar rose from US$0.63 at the beginning of the year to US$0.77 at the
end of the year, and the impact of this significant change on our overall exposure to foreign
currency assets resulted in an exchange loss of C$0.6&nbsp;million. In 2004 the Canadian dollar
continued to strengthen to US$0.83. To minimize our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, we
used U.S.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">dollar-denominated debt in 2003 and through most of 2004, and late in 2004, with the
improvement of our cash position, we were able to reduce the amount of this debt. As a result, we
entered into forward contracts to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars to minimize
our exposure to currency fluctuations. At December&nbsp;31, 2004, we had contracted to sell US$10.0
million at forward rates ranging from C$1.2050 to C$1.2386.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Income Taxes. </I></B>The effective income tax rate for Stantec in 2004 was 32.4%, compared to 36.7%
in 2003 and 39.0% in 2002. At the beginning of 2004, we anticipated that our effective tax rate
would be in the range of 36.5 to 37.5%. This rate was estimated based on known statutory rate
reductions as well as estimates of income in each of our taxing jurisdictions. Throughout 2004,
the effective tax rate reported in each quarter was reduced to account for the 0.75% reduction in
provincial statutory rates during the year as well as to reflect increases in earnings in some of
our lower tax rate jurisdictions. During the fourth quarter of 2004, on the basis of an actuarial
report, we reflected additional income in our regulated insurance subsidiary. A portion of that
income of the subsidiary is subject to tax at lower rates, contributing 1.2% to the reduction of
our consolidated tax rate.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Liquidity and Capital Resources</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our cash flow from operating activities was C$77.4&nbsp;million in 2004, compared to C$16.9&nbsp;million
in 2003 and C$36.1&nbsp;million in 2002. The implementation of our new enterprise management system in
the fourth quarter of 2003 contributed to the significant reduction in cash flows from operating
activities for the year. The reduction in our investment in costs and estimated earnings in excess
of billings and in accounts receivable from 119 to 101&nbsp;days during 2004 was the primary reason for
the increased cash flow in 2004. Maintaining and slightly improving
this level of investment should
continue to provide adequate funds to finance our working capital requirements.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In 2004, C$10.2&nbsp;million in cash was used in investing activities, compared to C$33.5&nbsp;million
in 2003 and C$29.2&nbsp;million in 2002. A number of significant investing activities occurred during
2004, including the sale of our Edmonton office building, the sale of our interest in Goodfellow
EFSOPT&#153; technology, the completion of our largest acquisition to date, and our investment in
short-term investments related to self-insured liabilities arising on the implementation of our
regulated insurance company. In 2003 our investment activities included investment in our new
enterprise management system, investment in construction costs associated with an addition to our
Edmonton office building, and investment in four acquisitions. The net impact of these various
investment activities was to decrease the amount of cash used in 2004 from 2003 by C$23.3&nbsp;million.
We completed fewer acquisitions in 2003 than in 2002, resulting in a net decrease in cash expended
on acquisitions of approximately C$11.4&nbsp;million. This difference was offset by an increased
investment in property and equipment of C$11.3&nbsp;million in 2003 compared to 2002. The implementation
of our new business information system, the construction of the Stantec Atrium Tower in Edmonton,
and continued renovations to Stantec Centre in Edmonton accounted for this additional investment.
The remaining difference is the amount of proceeds received in 2002 on the disposition of our
minority interest in Linnet Geomatics International Inc. and on the divestiture of our 50-person
operation in Gatineau, Quebec.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a professional services organization, we are not capital intensive. Our capital
expenditures have historically been primarily for property and equipment that includes such items
as computer equipment and business information systems software, furniture, leasehold improvements
and other office and field equipment. As indicated above, the largest capital expenditures
incurred in 2002 through 2004 relate to the construction of the addition to the Edmonton office
building, the renovations to the original Edmonton office building, the costs associated with the
implementation of our new business information system, and leasehold improvements incurred on new
office space. Other normal capital expenditures accounted for approximately C$10.8&nbsp;million, C$9.2
million and C$7.8&nbsp;million in each of 2002, 2003 and 2004. We expect our capital expenditures in
2005 to be approximately C$16.0&nbsp;million to C$18.0&nbsp;million that includes improvements to our
Winnipeg office building and upgrades to a number of our desktop computers to support updated
versions of certain application and operating system software.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We used C$36.0&nbsp;million in financing activities in 2004, compared to the use of C$4.2&nbsp;million
in 2003 and the generation of C$14.9&nbsp;million in 2002. Additional funds received in 2004 on the
exercise of share options, as well as the net decrease in funds used to repurchase shares under our
Normal Course Issuer Bid, were offset by the use of funds to pay down our bank indebtedness and
long-term borrowings. This bank indebtedness had been incurred in 2003 and early 2004 to finance
the level of investment in accounts receivable and in costs and estimated earnings in excess of
billings that resulted from the implementation of our new enterprise management system.
Improvement in the level of these investments, as well as proceeds received on the sale of our
Edmonton office building, provided the additional funds to repay our long-term debt and bank
indebtedness. We issued 1.2&nbsp;million

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">common shares for net cash proceeds of C$18.3&nbsp;million in 2002 and borrowed C$30.0&nbsp;million on
our existing acquisition credit facility.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During 2004, we renegotiated our credit facility with a major Canadian chartered bank. Our
new credit facility provides for an operating line of credit of C$30&nbsp;million. At December&nbsp;31,
2004, no borrowing had been drawn on this facility (C$8.3&nbsp;million had been drawn at December&nbsp;31,
2003 and none at December&nbsp;31, 2002). We also maintain a US$17.0&nbsp;million acquisition credit
facility, which was unused at December&nbsp;31, 2004, and a four-year reducing U.S. dollar-denominated
term facility, of which C$24.0&nbsp;million was used at December&nbsp;31, 2004 (C$19.2&nbsp;million had been used
at December&nbsp;31, 2003).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our shareholders&#146; equity increased C$28.6&nbsp;million to C$189.1&nbsp;million at the end of 2004 from
C$160.5&nbsp;million at the end of 2003. This increase resulted from net income of C$30.2&nbsp;million in
2004, the recognition of the fair value of share-based compensation of C$0.7&nbsp;million, and the issue
of shares on the exercise of options of C$3.5&nbsp;million, offset by the repurchase of our common
shares of C$0.7&nbsp;million during the year pursuant to our normal course issuer bid and the C$5.1
million change in our cumulative translation account arising on the translation of our U.S.-based
foreign subsidiaries. The C$5.1&nbsp;million change is due to the continued strengthening of the
Canadian dollar &#151; from C$0.77 to C$0.83 &#151; in relation to the U.S. dollar during the year. Our
shareholders&#146; equity increased C$9.1&nbsp;million to C$160.5&nbsp;million at the end of 2004 from C$151.4
million at the end of 2003. This increase resulted from net income of C$25.1&nbsp;million, the
recognition of the fair value of share-based compensation of C$0.6&nbsp;million in 2003, and the issue
of shares on the exercise of options of C$0.6&nbsp;million, offset by the repurchase of our common
shares of C$1.4&nbsp;million during the year and the C$15.8&nbsp;million change in our cumulative translation
account arising on the translation of our U.S.-based foreign subsidiaries in 2003. The C$15.8
million change is due to the significant strengthening of the Canadian dollar&#151;from C$0.63 to
C$0.77&#151;in relation to the U.S. dollar during the year.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our normal course issuer bid was renewed in 2004 and allows us to repurchase up to 554,388
shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange. We continue to believe that, from time to time, the market
price of our common shares does not fully reflect the value of our business or future business
prospects and that, at such times, outstanding common shares are an attractive, appropriate, and
desirable use of our available funds. In 2004 we purchased 29,300 common shares at an average
price of C$24.57 per share for an aggregate price of C$720,000. In 2003 we purchased 74,700 common
shares at an average price of C$18.63 per share for an aggregate price of C$1,392,000. In 2002 we
purchased 54,600 common shares at an average price of C$16.12 per share for an aggregate price of
C$880,000.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Currency. </I></B>Because a significant portion of our revenue and expenses is generated or
incurred in U.S. dollars, we face the challenge of dealing with fluctuations in exchange rates. To
the extent that U.S. dollar revenues are greater than U.S. dollar expenses in a strengthening U.S.
dollar environment, we expect to see a positive impact on our income from operations. Conversely,
to the extent that U.S. dollar revenues are greater than U.S. dollar expenses in a weakening U.S.
dollar environment, we expect to see a negative impact. This exchange rate risk primarily
reflects, on an annual basis, the impact of fluctuating exchange rates on the net difference
between total U.S. dollar professional revenue and U.S. dollar expenses. Other exchange rate risk
arises from the revenue and expenses generated or incurred by subsidiaries located outside of
Canada and the United States. Our income from operations will be impacted by exchange rate
fluctuations used in translating these revenue and expenses. In addition, the impact of exchange
rates on the balance sheet accounts of subsidiaries located outside of Canada and the United States
will affect our operating results. We also continue to be exposed to exchange rate risk for the
U.S. dollar and other foreign currency-denominated balance sheet items carried by our Canadian,
U.S. and international operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Interest Rate. </I></B>Changes in interest rates present a risk to our performance. All of our bank
facilities, which are comprised of operating loans and an acquisition loan, carry a floating rate
of interest. We estimate that, based on our balances at December&nbsp;31, 2004, a 1% change in interest
rates would impact our earnings per share by less than C$0.01. In addition, we are subject to
interest rate risk to the extent that our investments held for self-insured liabilities include
fixed rate government and corporate bonds.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Critical Accounting Estimates</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The notes to our December&nbsp;31, 2004 consolidated financial statements outline our significant
accounting estimates. The accounting estimates discussed below are considered particularly
important since they require the most difficult, subjective, or complex management judgments.
Because of the uncertainties inherent in making assumptions and estimates regarding unknown future
outcomes, future events may result in significant differences between estimates and actual results.
We believe that each of our assumptions and estimates is appropriate to the circumstances and
represents the most likely future outcome.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Revenue Recognition and Cost Estimates on Contracts. </I></B>Revenue from fixed fee and variable fee
with ceiling contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method based on the ratio
of contract costs incurred to total estimated contract costs. We believe that costs incurred are
the best available measure of progress toward completion of these contracts. Estimating total
direct contract costs is subjective and requires the use of our best judgments based upon the
information we have available at that point in time. Our estimate of total direct contract costs
has a direct impact on the revenue we recognize. If our current estimates of total direct contract
costs turn out to be higher or lower than our previous estimates, we would have over- or
under-recognized revenue for the previous period. We also provide for estimated losses on
incomplete contracts in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in our estimates
are reflected in the period in which such changes are made.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Goodwill. </I></B>Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually. This assessment includes a
comparison of the carrying value of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value to ensure that
the fair value is greater than the carrying value. We arrive at the estimated fair value of a
reporting unit using valuation methods such as discounted cash flow analysis. These valuation
methods employ a variety of assumptions, including revenue growth rates, expected operating income,
discount rates, and earnings multiples. Estimating the fair value of a reporting unit is a
subjective process and requires the use of our best estimates. If our estimates or assumptions
change from those used in our current valuation, we may be required to recognize an impairment loss
in future periods.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Provision for Doubtful Accounts. </I></B>We use estimates in determining our allowance for doubtful
accounts related to trade receivables. These estimates are based on our best assessment of the
collectibility of the related receivable balance based, in part, on the age of the specific
receivable balance. Future collections of receivables that differ from our current estimates will
affect the results of our operations in future periods.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Outlook</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The infrastructure and facilities market within North American is diverse and varies
significantly from region to region. The market is made up of many technical disciplines, clients,
and industries, and engages both the private and public sectors. Over the next few years, we
expect the demand for services in this market to be driven by continued population growth,
compliance with new government regulations and the need to maintain and replace an aging North
American infrastructure. The market should also benefit from continued outsourcing of technical
services, especially in the public sector. The state of the infrastructure and facilities market
is also tied to general

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">economic performance. The overall market outlook offers increasing prospects for accelerating
growth, particularly in the non-residential sectors.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Much of the actual growth seen in 2004 and over the past several years has been driven by
residential construction. However, spending on public construction appears to be rising, while
private non-residential construction continues to rebound from an extended downturn. Commercial
and industrial participants should increase capital spending as their earnings prospects improve.
In addition, a variety of public agencies have begun planning for increased investment in
infrastructure projects after several years of below-trend spending. As predicted by many
forecasters, the residential construction market could flatten this year both in Canada and the
United States. However, we anticipate that 2005 will continue to be a high-performance year for
housing, contributing to ongoing strong performance in our urban land market segment. As well, we
expect strength in commercial construction markets, particularly industrial projects, to support
higher project activity.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although much attention has been focused on delays in U.S. government funding for programs
such as the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, a recovery in state tax revenue as
incomes improve is likely to be a more significant factor in driving spending on transportation,
environmental, and other capital projects in the United States. The Canadian market should also
benefit from the promised transfer of federal funding to the provinces for health care and to
municipalities for new infrastructure and the rehabilitation of existing facilities.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Within this overall market outlook, we expect to continue to grow through a combination of
internal hiring and acquisitions. We target to achieve long-term average annual compound growth
rates of 15 to 20%, although we may not see growth in this range every year. We have chosen this
target because we believe that it is an attainable goal that allows us to enhance the depth of our
expertise, broaden our service provision, provide expanded opportunities for our employees, and
lever our information technology systems. Our ability to continue to grow at this rate depends to
a large extent on the availability of acquisition opportunities. Since our industry is made up of
100,000, mostly small firms, there are many acquisition candidates. At any one time, we are
engaged in discussions with up to 20 or more firms ranging from very small firms to firms that are
larger than Keith.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We plan to support our targeted level of growth using a combination of cash flow from
operations and additional financing while maintaining a return on our equity at or above 14% and a
net income at or above 5% of net revenue. Although we believe that a normal debt to equity ratio
at or below 0.5 to 1 is an appropriate target for our Company, opportunities to conclude
transactions may make it necessary for us to increase the amount of debt we carry beyond that
limit. If the need to finance a larger acquisition arises, we may seek to raise cash by issuing
additional shares.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Looking at the results of our current mix of project activity in the United States and Canada, we
anticipate that our gross margin as a percentage of net revenue will remain in the range of 53 to
55% for 2005 and that our administrative expenses will remain in the range of 40 to 42% of net
revenue. In addition, we expect our effective tax rate for 2005 to be between 33 and 35%.

<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Description of Stantec&#146;s Business</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>General</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We provide professional consulting services in planning, engineering, architecture, interior
design, landscape architecture, surveying, environmental sciences project management and project
economics for infrastructure and facilities projects. Our goal is to become a top 10 global design
and consulting services firm with C$1&nbsp;billion in annual revenue by the year 2008. To achieve this
objective, we will continue to deliver fee-for-service professional services in the US$50&nbsp;billion
infrastructure and facilities market through our focused, sustainable business model. For the
fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004, we had gross revenue of approximately C$520.9&nbsp;million and net
income of approximately C$30.2&nbsp;million.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our three-dimensional model &#151; which is based on diversifying our operations in distinct
geographic regions, specializing in distinct but complementary practice areas, and providing
services in all five phases of the infrastructure and facilities project life cycle &#151; allows us to
manage risk while continuing to increase our revenue and earnings.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Geographic Diversification. </I></B>We currently have operations in five economic regions in Canada
and the United States as well as a project presence in the Caribbean and other selected
international locations. Our strategy for geographic diversification has two components. The
first component is to grow our existing regional operations by expanding our services particularly
in areas where we have not yet reached a mature market presence. We target to achieve a market
penetration of C$10&nbsp;million in revenue per one million population in these regions. The second
component includes expansion outside our existing regions principally in the United States and
Canada. We expect to continue to expand geographically primarily by acquiring firms that meet our
integration criteria and to a lesser extent by growing organically.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Practice Area Specialization. </I></B>Specialization and diversification of services are achieved by
providing services in 17 distinct practice areas that can generally be grouped into five key market
segments &#151; buildings, environment, industrial, transportation, and urban land. Focusing on this
combination of project services helps differentiate us from our competitors, allowing us to enhance
our presence in new geographic regions and markets and to establish and maintain client
relationships. Our strategy for strengthening this dimension of our business model is to increase
the depth of our expertise in our current practice areas and to selectively add complementary
practice areas to our operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Life Cycle Solutions. </I></B>We seek to provide professional services in all five phases of the
project life cycle &#151; planning, design, construction, maintenance, and decommissioning. This
inclusive approach allows us to deliver services during periods of strong new capital project
activity, such as design and construction, as well as periods of lower new capital project
expenditures, such as maintenance and rehabilitation. Beginning with the planning and design
stages, we provide conceptual and detailed design services, conduct feasibility studies, and
prepare plans and specifications. During the construction phase, we generally act as the owners&#146;
representative, providing project management, surveying, and resident engineering services. We
focus principally on fee-for-service type work and generally do not act as the contractor or take
on construction risk. Following project completion, during the maintenance stage, we provide
ongoing professional services for maintenance and rehabilitation in areas such as facilities and
infrastructure management, facilities operations, and performance engineering. Finally, in the
decommissioning phase, we provide solutions and recommendations for taking facilities out of active
service.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Through our &#147;One Team. Infinite Solutions.&#148; approach to our business, we are able to
undertake infrastructure and facilities projects of any size for both public and private sector
clients. Currently, the majority of assignments we pursue are small to midsize projects with a
capital value of less than C$100&nbsp;million and potential project fees for Stantec of less than C$10
million. These types of projects represent the largest share of the infrastructure and facilities
market. Focusing on this project mix continues to ensure that we do not rely on a few large,
single projects for our revenue and that no single client or project accounts for more than 5% of
our overall business.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We provide services to clients in both the public and private sectors mainly in North America
through integrated and discipline-specific consulting and project delivery. Our organizational
structure gives us both the strength and diversity of a large organization and a strong regional
presence to deliver our services locally. Our Consulting Services business unit focuses on
providing total infrastructure solutions targeted to five market segments &#151; buildings, environment,
industrial, transportation and urban land.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We were incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on March&nbsp;23, 1984 as 131277
Canada Ltd. Our Articles of Incorporation were amended on several occasions, namely to change our
name, amend share attributes, create and delete classes of shares, reorganize our outstanding share
capital and split our common shares, and change the minimum and maximum number of directors. On
August&nbsp;15, 1984 the name 131277 Canada Ltd. was changed to Stanley Engineering Group Inc. and on
October&nbsp;18, 1989, it was changed to Stanley Technology Group Inc. On March&nbsp;30, 1994, Stanley
Technology Group Inc. amalgamated with 3013901 Canada Limited to continue as Stanley Technology
Group Inc. On October&nbsp;28, 1998, the name Stanley Technology Group Inc. was changed to Stantec Inc.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our corporate headquarters are located at 10160 &#150; 112 Street, Edmonton, Alberta, T5K 2L6.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Consulting Services is our principal focus and we currently operate in five geographic
regions: Canada West, Canada Central, the US Southwest, the US Southeast and the US Northeast.
Affiliated companies, which accounted for less than 1% of our revenue, fall within the
responsibilities of the regional management or within the corporate administration group. We
balance our geographic structure and management by also aligning services and management in five
market segments &#150; buildings, environment, industrial, transportation and urban land.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In 2003, we realigned our organizational units to better reflect its balanced regional focus
and practice area specialization. The two largest and most mature regional operating units &#150;
Canada West and Canada Central, were further divided into smaller sub-regions. At present, our
regions in Canada include British Columbia, Alberta South, Alberta North, Saskatchewan/Manitoba,
Ontario Southwest, Ontario GTA (Greater Toronto Area), and Ontario East. Our three US regions are
US Southwest, US Southeast and US Northeast.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The five market segments consist of 17 distinct specialist practice areas including:

wastewater treatment, environmental protection, transportation and health care sectors, often in
countries with developing economies.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our staff and system capabilities allow us to undertake infrastructure and facilities projects
of any size. Currently, most of our projects have total capital costs of less than C$100&nbsp;million
and our potential fees from these types of projects are generally in the range of 10% of the
capital costs, assuming we provide most of the services required. Joint ventures, associations or
subcontract arrangements are often established to deal with larger projects. As a result, we
mitigate our overall risk by working on several thousand projects each year, none of which would
normally exceed 5% of our revenue.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As mentioned above, our core capabilities in the consulting services area are provided through
17 practice areas, most of which can generally be grouped into five broad market segments:
buildings, environment, industrial, transportation and urban land. Some practice areas such as
project and program management, and strategic management services are offered in all five market
segments.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Buildings Market Segment. </I></B>We provide comprehensive solutions for commercial, industrial and
institutional facilities. Typical projects include hospitals, educational and recreational
facilities, research and technology facilities, office buildings and commercial centers. Services
are delivered through three practice areas: architecture &#038; interior design, buildings engineering
and facilities planning and operations, and include project/program management, facilities
management, strategic planning, architectural design, interior design, and structural, mechanical
and electrical engineering. Our services are provided both in connection with new construction and
for existing buildings and facilities. For existing buildings and facilities, we provide expertise
in building operating systems, performance engineering and ongoing tenant improvements. We also
provide services designed to maximize the efficiency of a building&#146;s existing systems and improve
its operations, including analyzing a building&#146;s exterior envelope and evaluating air quality,
lighting and energy efficiency. The demand for these specialized types of services for existing
buildings and facilities tends to be counter-cyclical and improves our ability to generate fees
during periods of economic downturn and reduced capital spending.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our clients in the buildings market segment include institutional and commercial building
owners and large multinational firms, as well as government agencies that build, administer and
operate public buildings. Our clients also include independent authorities or agencies, such as
airport authorities, transportation commissions and transit systems.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Environment Market Segment. </I></B>We apply our specialized knowledge and experience to develop and
manage sustainable solutions for air, water and soil. Our services are focused in two practice
areas: environmental infrastructure and environmental management. The core services we provide in

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">water treatment. Our environment services provide multidisciplinary teams of qualified and
experienced engineers, scientists, process specialists, occupational hygienists, and specialists in
environmental regulation and policy.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Industrial Market Segment. </I></B>Our comprehensive industrial services are provided in three
practice areas: bio/pharmaceutical, manufacturing/industrial, and power, resources and chemicals.
Services are provided to clients principally in the private sector in the automotive, chemical,
consumer products, forestry, food and beverage, bio/pharmaceutical, power generation, pulp and
paper, utilities, mining and general manufacturing sectors. Our services to these clients include
planning, engineering and project management. We also provide specialty services including
occupational health and safety (industrial hygiene and prestart operator safety reviews), system
integration, instrumentation and control, electrical energy and power management, facility planning
and design, industrial engineering, logistics, material handling and commissioning. Projects range
from the design of pilot versions of new processes to the design, process verification, equipment
and materials procurement and project management for the construction of entire industrial plants.
Our bio/pharmaceutical group provides solutions to companies involved in the discovery, research
and development, and manufacturing of a wide range of pharmaceutical and biotechnology products.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Transportation Market Segment. </I></B>We offer coordinated solutions for the safe and efficient
movement of people, vehicles, aircraft and goods. Our core services include project management,
planning and engineering, which we provide through three practice areas: transportation planning
and traffic engineering, transportation infrastructure and infrastructure management and pavement
engineering. Our services include: transportation master plans for communities and airports;
transportation investment studies; design of new and upgraded airport facilities, such as
terminals, runways and taxiways; transit facilities, such as bus and light rail transit systems;
new and upgraded bridges; urban roadways; freeways; interchanges; rural highways; and rail systems.
Our specialty services include simulation modeling, a comprehensive understanding of
transportation demand and supply management principles, extensive use of a range of life cycle cost
and statistical analysis techniques and public consultation and environmental assessment skills in
developing practical, cost-effective, long-term infrastructure facility plans with broad public
support.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A key feature of our transportation services is our expertise in integrated
infrastructure/asset management systems and decision-support tools. Our infrastructure management
and pavement engineering practice area includes transportation and bridge engineers, roadway and
bridge inspection specialists, infrastructure management specialists, geographic information system
(GIS)&nbsp;specialists and software specialists. This team designs, develops and implements integrated
infrastructure/asset management systems and work management applications for pavement, bridges,
right-of-way features, water, wastewater, storm water, utilities and other assets. These systems
allow governments to prioritize and to optimize the use of available funds through efficient and
cost-effective planning for public works maintenance, rehabilitation and capital projects.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our clients in this market segment are primarily public sector agencies, transportation
authorities and commercial and institutional clients.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Urban Land Market Segment. </I></B>Services in this market segment include planning, engineering,
surveying, project management and landscape architecture services. These services are provided
principally to the land development and real estate industries. Services are delivered through four
practice areas: planning and landscape architecture, urban land engineering, surveys and quality
control/assurance. We assist our urban land clients through the entire land development process
providing services from the initial master plan development to project management of the
construction of the infrastructure. Services include or relate to conceptual plans, zoning
approval of design infrastructure, transportation planning, traffic engineering, landscape
architecture, urban planning, design construction review and surveying.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Acquisitions</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We compete in the professional consulting service industry. This industry, which includes the
engineering, architecture and environmental sciences consulting industries, is highly fragmented.
We believe that industry trends continue to create acquisition opportunities. Our goal is to
continue to increase our size and profitability. This goal will be accomplished partly through the
acquisition of established professional consulting firms in Canada, the United States and
internationally. Our principal acquisition focus is in selected regions in the United States and
Canada. The following list summarizes our acquisitions since the beginning of 2002:

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We expect that the number of acquisitions we complete will fluctuate from time to time because
of the availability of suitable firms on terms acceptable to us. In addition, at any given time we
may be focusing our efforts on integrating previously acquired firms, which will reduce our
acquisition activity.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Generally, we seek to acquire firms with 50 or more employees which will complement one of our
existing practice areas or regions or which add a new practice area or regional presence. We
consider smaller acquisitions in markets in which we have existing operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have experienced internal growth when existing clients of newly acquired firms are offered
the additional services that we provide. Similarly, acquired firms&#146; services are cross-marketed to
our existing clients. We achieve moderate cost savings through the sharing of administrative
overhead, such as payroll services, the sharing of office facilities, if possible, and the
provision of group insurance and centralized financing which can generally be provided at lower
rates than smaller firms can obtain.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Foreign Operations</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We conduct a portion of our business outside of North America. Specifically, foreign
operations included projects undertaken in the Caribbean (primarily in Barbados but also in
Trinidad, Tobago, Antigua, Belize and Puerto Rico), in Asia (China, India and Korea), in South
America (Peru, Brazil, Bolivia and Columbia) and in other locations (Cyprus, UAE, Madagascar, Kenya
and Pakistan). Such operations accounted for 1% of our revenue in 2004. Some of this work
involves political risk, contracts with foreign clients and working under foreign legal systems.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Risk Management</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We mitigate our operating risks through our business strategy and other protective measures.
As mentioned previously, our three-dimensional business model of geographic, practice area and
project life cycle diversification minimizes our dependency on any particular geographic area,
industry or economic sector for our income. We also mitigate risk by entering into a diverse range
of contracts with a wide range of fee amounts.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To address the risk of competition for qualified personnel and to maintain our ability to
attract and retain staff, we offer a number of employment incentives, including training programs,
employee share ownership (for Canadian employees) and opportunities for professional development
and enhancement, along with compensation plans which we believe to be innovative, flexible and
designed to reward top performance.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We maintain insurance coverage for our operations, including policies covering general
liability, automobile liability, environmental liability, workers&#146; compensation and employers&#146;
liability, directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability and professional liability insurance. The maximum
coverage under our professional liability policy is generally C$35&nbsp;million per claim and per annum,
with a per claim deductible of C$500,000 and an aggregate excess deductible of C$2.5&nbsp;million. In
September&nbsp;2003, we established a regulated captive insurance company to insure and fund the payment
of any professional liability self-insured retentions related to claims arising after August&nbsp;1,
2003. We, or our clients, also obtain project-specific insurance for designated projects from
time-to-time. In addition, we invest resources in a risk management team dedicated to providing
company-wide support and guidance on risk avoidance and professional practices and procedures. One
such practice is to carry out select client evaluations, including credit risk appraisals, before
entering into contract agreements in order to reduce the risk of non-payment for our services.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have a comprehensive project manager training program aimed at skill development in risk
mitigation, project planning, quality control and assurance, and financial administration, among
other project management responsibilities. We believe that improved project management across our
operations will increase our ability to deliver projects on schedule and within budget.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As well, we believe our experience and knowledge in conducting business outside North America
help us mitigate the risks of undertaking international projects. This work involves political
uncertainties, contracts with foreign clients and operating under foreign legal systems.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Competition</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We operate in highly competitive markets and have numerous competitors for all of the services
we offer. The number and identity of competitors varies widely with the type of service we
provide. Moreover, for small to medium sized projects, we compete with many engineering,
architectural and other professional consulting firms. With larger projects, there are fewer but
still many competitors, however some of these competitors have greater financial and other
resources than we do. While we compete with other large private and public companies in certain
geographic locations, our primary competitors are smaller privately held regional firms in the
United States and Canada.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that our operating structure, our enterprise systems and the breadth of our
professional services differentiate us from other engineering, architecture and professional
consulting firms. Furthermore, our focus on small to midsize projects distinguishes us from some
larger competitors.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The principal competitive factors in the services we offer are: reputation; experience;
breadth and quality of services; technical proficiency; local offices; competitive total project
fees; and service delivery. Given the expanding demand for the services we provide, it is likely
that additional competitors will emerge. Notwithstanding

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">
<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">this increased competition, we believe that we will retain the ability to compete effectively
with our competition because of our strengths and expertise in engineering, architecture and
related professional services.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We serve many diverse clients in both the private and public sectors. We seek to establish
ongoing relationships with clients that are likely to produce repeat business. We are not
dependent on any one client or group of clients for our business. No single client represents more
than 5% of our total revenue.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We offer a range of pricing structures to our clients but primarily offer our services based
on either a fixed or variable fee contract with a ceiling or a time-and-material contract without a
stated ceiling. We secure our assignments primarily based on our expertise and contacts, and
sometimes on a competitive bidding process.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Backlog</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our gross revenue backlog for fixed fee and variable fee with ceiling contracts as of December
31, 2004 was approximately C$380&nbsp;million compared to C$310&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2003. Our
backlog represents an estimate of the remaining future gross revenue from existing contracts. We
do not believe that backlog is fully indicative of the amount of potential future revenue that we
may achieve due to the short-term nature of the contracts under which we generally provide our
services.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Research and Development</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We generally conduct research and development in the context of our clients&#146; specific project
requirements. Most research and development is conducted in the areas of infrastructure evaluation
and management systems, hydraulic modeling of water and wastewater systems, pavement evaluation and
management systems and wastewater treatment.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Intellectual Property</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We rely primarily upon trade secret laws to protect our proprietary rights in our specialized
technologies. There can be no assurance that the protection provided to our proprietary technology
by the laws of foreign jurisdictions would be substantially similar to the remedies available to us
under the laws of Canada and the United States.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Organizational Structure</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following chart lists, as of May&nbsp;6, 2005, our subsidiaries, their jurisdiction of

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Employees</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of December&nbsp;31, 2004, we had approximately 4,350 staff. This total staff number is
comprised of 2,150 professionals, 1,550 technologists and technicians and 650 support personnel.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a knowledge-based organization and are always seeking talented and skilled
professionals in all of our specialist practice areas. Since the supply of qualified candidates at
times is limited, we use various recruitment strategies to address those needs. Examples of our
recruitment strategies include an employee referral bonus program, website job postings, career
fairs, student programs and the ability to offer geographic mobility.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Properties</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our corporate headquarters is located in Edmonton, Alberta, where we lease approximately
188,550 square feet of space. The lease on our corporate headquarters expires in 2019. In
addition, we lease office space in locations in which we operate on commercially available terms.
As of December&nbsp;31, 2004, we had approximately 50 leased premises in locations throughout North
America in addition to our corporate headquarters. The lease terms range from a minimum of one
year to a maximum of 15&nbsp;years with options, depending on the particular lease, for renewal,
expansions, contraction and termination, sublease rights and allowances for improvements. We
believe that our current facilities are sufficient for the operation of our business and that
suitable additional space in various local markets is available to accommodate any needs that may
arise and that suitable additional or substitute space will be available as needed to accommodate
any expansion of operations. Lease payments for all of our leased premises totaled approximately
C$23.1&nbsp;million in 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Legal Proceedings</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are from time to time involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. As
of March&nbsp;31, 2005, we were named as a defendant in the following action:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sear-Brown, a company we acquired in April&nbsp;2004, has been named in a lawsuit related to design
services it provided for a roadway in New York State in connection with a multi-vehicle accident
that occurred on the roadway in November&nbsp;2001. Valerie Parris advanced a civil claim in New York
State on or about December&nbsp;1, 2003 alleging, among other things, negligence in the design and
construction of the roadway. Ms.&nbsp;Parris alleges that as a result of the accident, Alonzo Raynard
Parris sustained fatal injuries and his son, Raynard Parris, sustained injury and mental distress.
Sear-Brown is one of a number of defendants in the legal proceeding. Damages sought total US$43

Bradshaw (Chairman), Neilson A. Bertholf, Jr., William D. Grace and Susan E. Hartman. Stantec&#146;s
board of directors has determined that each member of the Corporate Governance and Compensation
Committee is &#147;independent&#148; and &#147;unrelated&#148; as such terms are defined under the rules and
regulations of the SEC, the New York Stock Exchange and Canadian securities laws. During the
financial year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004, Robert E. Flynn (an independent director) was a member of
this committee until his retirement on November&nbsp;4, 2004 when Susan E. Hartman was appointed to the
committee to fill that vacancy.

pursuant to an agreement with us. He is not paid any additional amounts for attending board
committee meetings, chairing board meetings, or attending meetings or events in support of the
company. This agreement with Mr.&nbsp;Triffo will end when he ceases to be the Chairman of the Board.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The President and CEO, Mr.&nbsp;Franceschini, is not compensated for acting as a director.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The remaining six directors are paid according to our director compensation program, which is
intended to (1)&nbsp;encourage the directors to hold a continuing equity interest in us; (2)&nbsp;align the
interests of directors with the interests of shareholders; and (3)&nbsp;attract and retain qualified
Canadian and U.S. directors.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The director compensation program includes deferred share units (DSUs), each of which has the
same value as one of our common shares; however, DSUs carry no voting rights and they cannot be
transferred. DSUs cannot be exercised until death or retirement of a director, upon which, the
value of a director&#146;s DSUs are paid in cash. Each DSU will be valued at our common share market
price on the last trading day of the month of the death or retirement of the director. DSUs are
granted on the last day of the previous quarter and once granted, the number of DSUs will not be
adjusted even if the director dies or retires in the quarter to which a grant of DSUs relates. The
number of DSUs held by directors and the number of DSUs to which directors are entitled will be
appropriately adjusted for any change in the number of our outstanding common shares that occurs by
reason of any stock split, consolidation, or other corporate change.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Employee Share Option Plan</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Employee Share Option Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase common shares
to our directors, officers, employees, and consultants. The board of directors believes that
issuing options to key individuals is an effective means of aligning the interests of these
individuals with the interests of our shareholders.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the time of the last amendment to the plan in March of 2002, 1,754,938 shares were reserved
for issuance as options, which, together with certain individual option agreements which existed at
the time, totaled 1,814,938 common shares, representing 10% of our issued and outstanding common
shares at that time.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February&nbsp;24, 2005, the board of directors resolved to reset the number of shares reserved
for issuance as options. Subject to shareholder approval, the Employee Share Option Plan has been
amended to reserve 1,892,718 common shares, being 10% of the current issued and outstanding common
shares as of March&nbsp;21, 2005. We do not issue any securities other than common shares.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Terms of the Plan</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each option granted has a maximum term of 10&nbsp;years and is exercisable on terms determined by
the board of directors, including vesting and restrictions on sale or other disposition of common
shares acquired upon exercise of an option. The board of directors establishes the exercise price
for options when issued, which in all cases cannot be less than (1)&nbsp;the closing price of our common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the
trading day

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">immediately preceding the date of the grant; or (2)&nbsp;such lesser permissible amount
under applicable legislation or the rules and regulations of the Toronto Stock Exchange.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any common shares subject to an option, which is for whatever reason cancelled or terminated
without having been exercised, are again available for grant under the plan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The maximum number of common shares which may be reserved for issuance to insiders under the
plan is 10% of the common shares outstanding at the time of the grant (on a non-diluted basis) less
the aggregate number of common shares reserved for issuance to insiders under any other share
compensation arrangement. In addition, the maximum number of common shares which may be issued to
insiders under the plan within a one-year period is 10% of the common shares outstanding at the
time of the issuance (on a non-diluted basis), excluding common shares issued under the plan or any
other share compensation arrangement over the preceding one year period. The maximum number of
common shares which may be issued to any one insider under the plan within a one year period is 5%
of the common shares outstanding at the time of the issuance (on a non-diluted basis), excluding
common shares issued to the insider in question under the plan or any other share compensation
arrangement over the preceding one year period; however, any entitlement to acquire common shares
granted pursuant to the plan or any other share compensation arrangement prior to the optionholder
becoming an insider shall be excluded for the purposes of the limits set out above.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the maximum number of common shares which may be reserved for issuance to any one
person is 5% of the common shares outstanding at the time of the grant (on a non-diluted basis)
less the aggregate number of common shares reserved for issuance to such person under any other
option to purchase common shares from treasury granted as compensation or incentive mechanism.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Should the number of issued and outstanding common shares change due to a stock dividend,
split, consolidation, or other corporate change, the board would, with the approval of the Toronto
Stock Exchange, make an appropriate adjustment to the terms of previously issued options.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If an optionholder ceases to be eligible for the plan for any reason other than death, each
option held by that person ceases to be exercisable 30&nbsp;days after that person becomes ineligible
and any option or portion of an option not vested by the date of becoming ineligible cannot be
exercised under any circumstances. These provisions apply regardless of whether the person is
dismissed with or without cause.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Options are only assignable when an option holder dies and only by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. Following death of an option holder, his or her legal representative may
exercise the options within six months after the date of death, but only to the extent that the
options were by their terms exercisable on the date of death.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the plan or any portion thereof at any
time in accordance with applicable legislation and subject to any required approval. With the
consent of affected optionholders, the board of directors may amend or modify any outstanding
option in any manner to the extent that the board would have the authority to initially grant such
award, including, without limitation, to change the date or dates as of which an option becomes
exercisable, subject to the prior approval of the relevant stock exchange. The board of directors
also has the authority to adopt, amend and rescind administrative guidelines and other rules and
regulations relating to the plan.

</TABLE>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The purpose of the special meeting is for the shareholders of Keith to consider and vote upon
the approval of the merger agreement and its terms, and other procedural matters incident to the
conduct of the special meeting, including any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Record Date; Voting Power</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Only holders of shares of Keith common stock as of the close of business on &#091;<B>&#95;&#95;&#95;</B>&#093;, 2005,
which is the record date for the special meeting, will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote
at the special meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting. Each share of
Keith common stock is entitled to one vote at the special meeting. At the record date, &#091;<B>&#95;&#95;&#95;</B>&#093;
shares of Keith common stock were issued, outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Keith&#146;s issued and outstanding options do not have voting rights. Accordingly, record holders
of Keith options will not be entitled to vote at the special meeting.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Required Vote; Quorum; How to Vote</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Required Vote. </I>The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Keith common stock as of the record date is required to approve the merger agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Because the required vote of the shareholders with respect to the merger agreement is based
upon the total number of outstanding shares of Keith common stock, the failure to submit a proxy
card (or to submit a proxy by internet or to vote in person at the special meeting) or the
abstention from voting by a shareholder will have the same effect as a vote against approval of the
merger agreement and against the merger. Brokers holding shares of Keith common stock as nominees
will not have discretionary authority to vote those shares in the absence of instructions from the
beneficial owners of those shares, so the failure to provide voting instructions to your broker

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Quorum</I>. The holders of a majority of the shares of Keith common stock outstanding on the
record date must be present, either in person or by proxy, at the special meeting to constitute a
quorum. In general, abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present or represented at the
special meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum for the special meeting.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>How to Vote</I>. A shareholder may vote in person at the special meeting or by proxy without
attending the special meeting. To vote by proxy, a shareholder will have to do one of the
following: (a)&nbsp;submit a proxy over the internet or (b)&nbsp;complete the enclosed proxy card, sign and
date it and return it in the enclosed postage prepaid envelope.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are a registered shareholder (that is you own Keith common stock in your own name and
not through a broker, nominee or in some other &#147;street name&#148; capacity), you may submit a proxy over
the internet by visiting &#091;<U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>&#093; and following the instructions provided (please see the
accompanying proxy card for instructions on how to access the internet voting systems). If you are
a shareholder holding shares as of the record date, you may vote by proxy by using the accompanying
proxy card. When you return a proxy card that is properly signed and completed, the shares of
Keith common stock represented by the proxy will be voted as you specify in the proxy card.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If your shares are held in street name, your broker will vote your shares for you only if you
provide instructions to your broker on how to vote your shares. You should follow the directions
provided by your broker regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. If you do not
give your broker voting instructions, under the rules of the NASD, your broker may not vote your
shares on the merger proposal or the adjournment proposal. If you do not give your broker voting
instructions and the broker does not vote your shares, this is referred to as a &#147;broker non-vote.&#148;
Broker non-votes have the same effect as a vote against the approval of the merger agreement and
against the merger.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If your shares are held in street name and you wish to vote those shares in person at the
special meeting, you must obtain from your broker holding your Keith common stock a properly
executed &#147;legal proxy&#148; identifying you as a Keith shareholder, authorizing you to act on behalf of
the broker at the special meeting and identifying the number of shares with respect to which the
authorization is granted.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All properly submitted proxies that are not revoked will be voted at the special meeting as
instructed on those proxies. Submitted proxies containing no instructions will be voted in favor
of approval of the merger agreement and its terms.

<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>The Merger</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Background of The Merger</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As part of Keith&#146;s long-term strategy to grow its business, diversify its operations and
increase shareholder value, the Keith board of directors and senior management have, from time to
time, considered a variety of potential strategic alternatives, which have included potential
transactions with other companies as well as remaining an independent public company and
consummating acquisitions or mergers with other companies.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Beginning in March of 2003, Keith engaged in periodic discussions with Stantec regarding a
potential acquisition of Keith by Stantec. On April&nbsp;22, 2003, members of the Keith senior
management met with members of Stantec&#146;s senior management at Keith&#146;s principal executive offices
in Irvine, California. Periodic discussions between Keith&#146;s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
Aram Keith, and Stantec&#146;s President and Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Franceschini, continued
intermittently during the period between April&nbsp;2003 and December&nbsp;2003. Although there were general
discussions on valuation approaches, no formal proposals were made with respect to potential
financial terms for a combination. In May&nbsp;2003, Keith contacted Bear Stearns to discuss a possible
engagement to assist Keith in evaluating the suitability of Stantec as an acquiror and to act as
Keith&#146;s financial advisor with respect to a potential sale of Keith. In December&nbsp;2003, discussions
between Stantec and Keith were suspended after the parties were unable to agree on valuation.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Following the suspension of discussions with Stantec, the Keith board of directors and senior
management examined Keith&#146;s strategic direction and positioning in the market. Although the
results of operations of Keith had improved over the three years ended December&nbsp;31, 2003, Keith
common stock had traded as high as $25.63 per share in March&nbsp;2001 and as low as $7.60 in October
2001 and was trading at $13.62 at the end of 2003. Keith continued to be highly reliant on the
residential real estate services sector in California, which made it vulnerable to cyclical changes
in that sector or geographic region. Keith had planned to be able to diversify its business
through the implementation of an acquisition program; however, its last acquisition had occurred in
March&nbsp;2002. Further, the relatively small size of Keith made it difficult to attract an
institutional following in the financial markets. The board of directors and senior management
concluded that it would be unlikely to maximize shareholder value unless it was able to
successfully execute on an aggressive acquisition program that would allow it to materially grow
its business and diversify its operations. An alternative would be to seek an acquiror of the
company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In early 2004, senior management of Keith developed a list of potential acquirors of Keith.
Included on that list was Stantec. During 2004, Mr.&nbsp;Keith contacted the entities on the list of
potential acquirors or their financial advisors to assess their interest in a strategic
transaction. While most of the entities that Keith contacted indicated that they had limited
interest in pursuing a transaction, one such company entered into a confidentiality agreement and
conducted preliminary investigations into effecting a transaction. These preliminary discussions
terminated when the company could not meet Keith&#146;s management&#146;s valuation expectations. Mr.&nbsp;Keith
periodically reported to the Keith board of directors regarding these contacts. No formal proposal
to acquire Keith resulted from these discussions.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Up through the first quarter of 2005, Keith continued to evaluate potential acquisition
targets. As part of this process, in August&nbsp;2003, Keith engaged Houlihan Lokey Howard &#038; Zukin to
assist it in its search for candidates. During this period, Keith was presented with over 100
potential acquisition candidates. Although Keith conducted formal due diligence on the most
promising candidates and, in some instances, negotiation of the terms of a potential transaction,
none of the candidates ultimately met Keith&#146;s acquisition and valuation criteria.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the period from January&nbsp;2004 to January&nbsp;2005, Mr.&nbsp;Keith and Mr.&nbsp;Franceschini maintained
informal contacts with one another, but did not discuss further plans for a combination. In early
January&nbsp;2005, during one of these informal contacts, Mr.&nbsp;Franceschini informed Mr.&nbsp;Keith that
Stantec might be interested in renewing discussions. Mr.&nbsp;Keith informed the Keith board of
directors of this expression of possible interest at its regular meeting on February&nbsp;8, 2005 and
indicated he expected further contacts with Stantec following Keith&#146;s earnings announcement,
scheduled for February&nbsp;10, 2005. The board of directors of Keith authorized management to take
appropriate steps to evaluate the interest level of Stantec, including its expectations regarding
valuation. The board of directors directed management to assess the interest level on a relatively
expedited basis and avoid extended discussions of the type that had occurred in 2003. On February
10, 2005, Mr.&nbsp;Franceschini contacted Mr.&nbsp;Keith and informed him that Stantec was prepared to
propose the terms of a potential transaction, subject to board approval and customary due
diligence. Mr.&nbsp;Keith requested that any proposal be approved by the Stantec board of directors
prior to presentation to Keith.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February&nbsp;18, 2005, Keith and Stantec entered into a confidentiality agreement. On February
25, 2005, Mr.&nbsp;Franceschini informed Mr.&nbsp;Keith in a telephone conversation that the board of
directors of Stantec had authorized him to discuss the financial terms of a proposal to acquire all
of the outstanding shares of Keith. The proposal, which was non-binding, contemplated an all stock
transaction where each share of Keith common stock would be exchanged for the right to receive 0.85
of a Stantec common share. Based on the trading price of Stantec common shares on the Toronto
Stock Exchange and the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on that date, senior management of Keith
estimated that such a transaction would yield a value of approximately US$17.35 per share to the
Keith shareholders. Mr.&nbsp;Franceschini requested a meeting with the senior management of Keith to
review the proposal.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;3, 2005, Mr.&nbsp;Franceschini visited Keith&#146;s principal executive offices in Irvine,
California and met with Mr.&nbsp;Keith, Edward Muller, a member of the Keith board of directors, Eric
Nielsen, President and Chief Operating Officer of Keith, Gary Campanaro, Chief Financial Officer
and a member of the board of directors of Keith and Thomas Braun, Keith&#146;s President, Real Estate
Development Services. During this meeting, Mr.&nbsp;Franceschini made a presentation to the Keith
representatives in which he reviewed the non-binding proposal he had discussed with Mr.&nbsp;Keith on
the telephone and discussed Stantec&#146;s view of the strategic advantages of a combination of the two
companies and the financial rationale for the Stantec proposal.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;4, 2005, at a regularly scheduled meeting of the board of directors of Keith, Mr.
Keith discussed the Stantec proposal with the Keith board of directors. Following this discussion,
the board of directors authorized management to engage Bear Stearns to assist Keith in evaluating
Stantec&#146;s proposal and the potential combination of the two companies.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;10, 2005, the board of directors of Keith held a special meeting at the Los Angeles
offices of its legal counsel, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer &#038; Feld LLP. In addition to the members of
the board, the meeting was attended by Mr.&nbsp;Nielsen and Jules Miller, General Counsel of Keith.
During that meeting, Bear Stearns made a presentation to the board of directors concerning various
valuation metrics. Keith&#146;s management presented the board of directors with an extensive analysis
of the risks and opportunities facing Keith as a stand-alone entity. Thereafter, the board of
directors reviewed and engaged in a lengthy discussion regarding the proposal from Stantec,
concluding that the valuation inherent in the proposal was unsatisfactory and expressing a
preference for a transaction with a fixed value, consisting of a mix of stock and cash. Akin Gump
led a discussion regarding the applicable fiduciary duties of a board considering a sale of a
company. This discussion included consideration of whether an auction of Keith would maximize
shareholder value. The board of directors of Keith determined in its business judgment based on
information provided by Bear Stearns and management concerning the communications with prospective
acquirors that an auction at that time would likely not be the best means to maximize shareholder
value. The board of directors instructed management to continue with negotiations to determine if
a higher value and more favorable terms were achievable with Stantec.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At this meeting, the Keith board of directors, senior management of Keith and the
representatives of Bear Stearns and Akin Gump also discussed other material transactional issues,
such as flexibility for the board to consider superior proposals, break-up fees, representation on
the Stantec board following a merger, due diligence and timing. The Keith board of directors
approved the terms of the engagement of Bear Stearns as Keith&#146;s financial advisor. On March&nbsp;11,
2005, Bear Stearns and Keith executed an engagement letter in which Keith engaged Bear Stearns as
its financial advisor.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;17, 2005, Mr.&nbsp;Franceschini met with representatives of Keith senior management and
Bear Stearns at Keith&#146;s principal executive offices in Irvine, California. Following a
presentation made by representatives of Bear Stearns analyzing the financial impact of the merger
on the two companies, representatives of Keith made a non-binding proposal for a merger with a
fixed value of US$23.00 per share, comprised of US$11.50 in cash and US$11.50 in Stantec common
shares, computed based on the trading value of the Stantec common shares at the closing of the
merger.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;21, 2005, Mr.&nbsp;Franceschini informed Mr.&nbsp;Keith in a telephone conversation that
Stantec was willing to increase the price it was willing to offer and agree to terms consisting of
half cash and half Stantec common stock, but consisting of a fixed number of shares rather than the
fixed value proposed by Keith. Mr.&nbsp;Keith indicated that the revised price and terms were still not
satisfactory. A number of conversations between representatives of Stantec and Keith took place
over the course of the next several days regarding valuation issues and terms.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;24, 2005, Mr.&nbsp;Franceschini informed Mr.&nbsp;Keith that Stantec was willing to increase
the price it was willing to pay to US$22.00 per share but would not consider a change in terms.
The terms proposed were US$11.00 and 0.46 of a Stantec common share. At a special meeting of the
board of directors of Keith held on that date, attended by the members of the board, Mr.&nbsp;Nielsen,
Mr.&nbsp;Miller and representatives of Bear Stearns and Akin Gump, the board directed Mr.&nbsp;Keith to
inform Stantec that the price and terms were still not satisfactory. During the morning of March
28, 2005, Mr.&nbsp;Keith and Mr.&nbsp;Franceschini held a telephone conversation in which Mr.&nbsp;Keith indicated
that he would recommend the Stantec offer to the Keith board of directors if it were modified to
provide for US$11.00 cash and US$11.00 of Stantec common shares, computed by reference to the
average trading price of the Stantec common shares at the time of a closing. On March&nbsp;29, 2005,
Mr.&nbsp;Franceschini countered with US$11.00 cash, US$5.50 of Stantec common shares computed by
reference to the average trading price of the Stantec common stock at the time of the closing of
the merger and 0.23 of a Stantec common share. Mr.&nbsp;Keith agreed to consult with the Keith board of
directors and respond to Mr.&nbsp;Franceschini by the following day.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the period from March&nbsp;25, 2005 to March&nbsp;30, 2005, Akin Gump and Jeff Lloyd, General
Counsel to Stantec, exchanged drafts of a summary of non-binding terms for the acquisition of Keith
by Stantec and held several telephone conversations during which the summary of non-binding terms
were finalized.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the morning of March&nbsp;30, 2005, the Keith board of directors held a telephonic meeting
during which Keith management presented its analysis of the proposal. Akin Gump summarized the
terms of the proposal and discussed the fiduciary duties of the board of directors.
Representatives of Bear Stearns presented their analysis of the proposal and the proposed purchase
price. The Keith board of directors engaged in a lengthy discussion regarding the proposal, which
included consideration of whether any other alternatives were reasonably available that would
provide greater value to the Keith shareholders, including continuation as an independent entity or
sale to another potential buyer. The board of directors also considered whether conducting an
auction would likely result in the maximization of shareholder value. The board of directors
reviewed the efforts by management to generate interest among numerous potential acquirors and the
results of those efforts. The board of directors determined in its business judgment that an
auction was unlikely to result in a superior offer to the Stantec proposal, and that the Stantec
proposal was the best alternative reasonably available to Keith shareholders in the near term. The
board of directors directed management to once again request Stantec to fix the value of the
Stantec common stock to be paid in the merger and the meeting was adjourned until such time as Mr.
Keith could conclude those discussions. Later that afternoon, the special meeting reconvened and
Mr.&nbsp;Keith reported to the Keith board of directors that Stantec was unwilling to modify its
proposal. After a discussion, the board of directors of Keith authorized management of Keith to
proceed to conduct due diligence and negotiate definitive agreements substantially in accord with
the summary of non-binding terms, subject to approval by the board of directors prior to the
execution of a definitive merger agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the weeks of April&nbsp;3, 2005 and April&nbsp;10, 2005, each of Stantec and Keith conducted a
comprehensive due diligence investigation of the other party.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;3, 2005, Shearman &#038; Sterling LLP, legal counsel for Stantec, distributed the first
draft of the definitive merger agreement to Akin Gump. Over the course of the next eleven days,
the parties negotiated the terms of the definitive merger agreement as well as the form of
stockholders support agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;5, 2005, the Keith board of directors held a telephonic meeting attended by
representatives of Akin Gump and Bear Stearns to discuss the initial draft of the merger agreement.
Prior to the meeting, copies of the draft merger agreement and a summary of the terms of the
merger agreement and other supporting materials prepared by Akin Gump were distributed to the board
of directors. During the meeting, the board expressed the view that the shareholders of Keith
should be able to elect to receive cash or stock as merger consideration, with any excess elections
to be prorated. With respect to the merger agreement, Akin Gump indicated that it had concerns
regarding several terms of the proposed merger agreement, including, among others:

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the conclusion of the meeting, the board of directors directed Akin Gump to submit its
proposed changes to the merger agreement, including the request that the Keith shareholders have a
right to elect between the forms of merger consideration, to Shearman &#038; Sterling LLP.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Between April&nbsp;5, 2005 and April&nbsp;11, 2005, Akin Gump and Shearman &#038; Sterling LLP continued to
negotiate the terms and conditions of the definitive transaction documents. On April&nbsp;11, 2005, the
Keith board of directors convened a telephonic board meeting to discuss the status of the
negotiations. Also present at this meeting were representatives of Akin Gump, Bear Stearns, Mr.
Nielsen and Mr.&nbsp;Miller. Prior to the meeting there had been distributed to each of the members of
the board revised drafts of the transaction documents and a summary of the status of the
negotiations prepared by Akin Gump. Akin Gump reported that during the course of its discussions
with Shearman &#038; Sterling LLP between April&nbsp;7, 2005 and April&nbsp;10, 2005, Akin Gump, in consultation
with senior management of Keith, had managed to resolve a substantial number of issues that had
been of concern to the board of directors at its last meeting. Although the Keith board of
directors was pleased with the progress made during the prior days with respect to closing
conditions and merger consideration, they remained concerned that the merger agreement still
included conditions to Stantec&#146;s obligations at closing tied to Keith having a minimum cash balance
of US$48&nbsp;million at closing and the execution of employment agreements by key members of Keith
management; the merger agreement did not provide the Keith board of directors the right to
terminate the merger agreement in the event that Keith received a superior offer from a third
party; and the merger agreement continued to provide for the payment of Stantec&#146;s expenses in
addition to a break up fee. After consultation with Akin Gump, the Keith board of directors
determined that it needed to continue to press for the elimination of the execution of employment
agreements by the managers as a condition, the elimination of the payment of expenses and the
inclusion of a right to terminate the merger agreement in the event of receipt of a superior offer
from a third party. The Keith board of directors considered the latter term particularly important
so as to afford it the opportunity to continue to exercise its fiduciary duties following a signing
of a merger agreement. With respect to the condition that Keith have a minimum cash balance of $48
million at closing, Bear Stearns advised the board that such a condition was reasonable in light of
the context of the earlier negotiations on the amount of the merger consideration, but that the
level should be set at an amount that management was comfortable could be achieved. At this
meeting, representatives of Bear Stearns, Akin Gump and the Keith management also presented the
Keith board of directors with a report on their due diligence investigation.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Discussions
between Akin Gump and Shearman &#038; Sterling LLP continued during the period from
April&nbsp;11, 2005 to April&nbsp;13, 2005 in an effort to resolve remaining open issues in the merger
agreement. During this period, Keith and Stantec substantially finalized the merger agreement and
the other transaction documents and completed their respective due diligence investigations. On
the evening of April&nbsp;13, 2005, the Keith board of directors held a special telephonic meeting.
Also participating in this telephonic meeting were Mr.&nbsp;Nielsen and Mr.&nbsp;Miller of Keith and
representatives of Akin Gump and Bear Stearns. Prior to that meeting, there had been distributed
to the Keith board of directors copies of the merger agreement and other transaction documents in
substantially the form they were subsequently executed. Akin Gump also distributed to the Keith
board of directors a legal memorandum. At the meeting, Akin Gump summarized the resolution of
issues that had previously been considered by the Keith board of directors. Akin Gump reported
that Stantec had agreed to Keith&#146;s request for a right of termination in the event of a superior
third party offer if Keith agreed to pay Stantec&#146;s expenses in addition to a break-up fee. Stantec
also agreed to eliminate the execution of the employment agreements as a condition to closing.
After discussion with senior management of Keith, Stantec agreed to fix Keith&#146;s minimum cash
balance at closing at US$40&nbsp;million. The Keith board of directors expressed concern that the
merger agreement continued to obligate Keith to pay Stantec&#146;s expenses in addition to a break-up
fee in the event of termination in certain circumstances. Akin Gump informed the board that
Stantec was insistent on this provision but the aggregate of the

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">break up fee and expenses reasonably likely in this circumstance were within the range of
break-up fees allowed by the courts in the exercise of a board&#146;s fiduciary duties. At the meeting,
Bear Stearns reported that it was prepared to issue its fairness opinion, if requested.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the morning of April&nbsp;14, 2005, the board of directors of Keith convened a special
meeting at the principal executive offices of Keith in Irvine, California. The meeting was
attended by all members of Keith&#146;s board of directors, Mr.&nbsp;Nielsen, Mr.&nbsp;Miller and representatives
of Akin Gump and Bear Stearns. Prior to the meeting, copies of the draft merger agreement, draft
stockholders support agreement and letter between Stantec and Mr.&nbsp;Keith (each in substantially the
form subsequently executed), and legal memoranda were distributed to the board of directors. During
the meeting, Akin Gump presented the board of directors with a detailed analysis of the terms of
the transaction and reviewed the board of directors&#146; fiduciary duties. Members of management
provided its recommendations to the board of directors. Bear Stearns then orally presented the
opinion of Bear Stearns, confirmed in writing by Bear Stearns in a letter delivered to Keith&#146;s
board of directors at the meeting, that as of April&nbsp;14, 2005, based on the qualifications,
assumptions, limitations and other matters set forth in the letter, the consideration per share to
be received by Keith&#146;s public shareholders in the merger of (i)&nbsp;US$11.00 per share, (ii)&nbsp;0.23 of a
Stantec common share and (iii)&nbsp;an amount of Stantec common shares equal to US$5.50 divided by the
20&nbsp;day simple average of the daily weighted average trading
price of Stantec common shares, was fair
to the Keith public shareholders from a financial point of view. Following a further discussion,
the Keith board of directors unanimously approved the merger and the merger agreement and the other
transaction documents and unanimously resolved to recommend that Keith&#146;s shareholders vote their
shares in favor of the merger agreement and its terms.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At approximately 1:45 pm California time on April&nbsp;14, 2005, Keith and Stantec executed and
delivered the merger agreement and shortly afterwards issued a joint press release announcing the
execution of the merger agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Recommendation of the Keith Board of Directors</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;KEITH&#146;S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS DETERMINED THAT THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE MERGER ARE FAIR
TO, AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF, THE KEITH PUBLIC SHAREHOLDERS AND HAS APPROVED AND DECLARED
ADVISABLE THE MERGER AGREEMENT, THE MERGER AND THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE MERGER
AGREEMENT, AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE IN FAVOR OF APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT
AND ITS TERMS.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In considering the recommendation of the Keith board of directors with respect to the merger,
you should be aware that certain directors and officers of Keith have interests in the merger that
are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of Keith shareholders generally. See &#147;&#151;
Interests of Keith and Stantec Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Reasons for Keith&#146;s Board Recommendation</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following discussion of the information and factors considered by the Keith board of
directors is not, and is not intended to be, exhaustive. In light of the variety of factors
considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger and the complexity of these matters, the
Keith board of directors did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise attempt
to assign relative weights to the various factors considered in reaching its determination. In
addition, the Keith board of directors did not undertake to make any specific determination as to
whether any particular factor, or any aspect of any particular factor, was favorable or unfavorable
to the ultimate determination of the Keith board of directors, but rather, the Keith board of
directors conducted an overall analysis of the factors described below, including discussions with
and questioning of members of the Keith senior management and legal and financial advisors. The
Keith board of directors viewed its position and recommendation as being based on the totality of
the information presented. In the course of reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement
and the merger, the Keith board of directors consulted with members of the Keith senior management,
legal counsel and its financial advisor, reviewed a significant amount of information and
considered a number of factors, including, among others, the following factors:

completeness of the information supplied or otherwise made available to it by Keith and Stantec for
the purposes of its opinion. Bear Stearns did not make any independent valuation or appraisal of
the assets or liabilities of Keith or Stantec and was not furnished with any such appraisals. Bear
Stearns did not solicit, nor was it asked to solicit, third party acquisition interest in Keith.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With respect to the range of projected financial results discussed with the senior management
of Keith, Bear Stearns assumed that they had been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best
currently available estimates and judgments of senior management of Keith as to the expected future
financial performance of Keith. Bear Stearns did not assume any responsibility for the independent
verification of any information provided to it or the range of projected financial results Keith&#146;s
management discussed with it. Bear Stearns relied on the assurances of senior executives of Keith
and Stantec that they were unaware of any facts that would make the information provided to Bear
Stearns or the range of projected financial results furnished to it incomplete or misleading. In
rendering its opinion, Bear Stearns assumed that the merger would be consummated in a timely manner
on the terms described in the merger agreement, including, among other things, that the merger will
qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. In addition, Bear
Stearns assumed that obtaining the necessary regulatory and third party approvals for the merger
will not have material effect on Keith or Stantec.

consummation of the merger. The opinion of Bear Stearns did not address the relative merits of the
merger as compared to other transactions or business

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bear Stearns chose these acquisition transactions based on a review of completed acquisition
transactions involving target companies that possessed general business, operating and financial
characteristics representative of companies in the industry in which Keith operates. Bear Stearns
noted that none of these acquisition transactions or subject target companies reviewed is identical
to the merger or to Keith and that, accordingly, the analysis of such acquisition transactions
necessarily involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in the business,
operating and financial characteristics of each subject target company and each acquisition
transaction and other factors that affect the values implied in such acquisition transactions.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Discounted Cash Flow Sensitivity Analysis</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bear Stearns performed a discounted cash flow sensitivity analysis of Keith for the purpose of
estimating the equity values per share of Keith common stock based on the free cash flow for the
period consisting of fiscal years 2006, 2007 and 2008, with a terminal value based on an assumed
perpetual growth rate of Keith&#146;s free cash flow thereafter. Insofar as Keith does not provide
forecasted financial information, Bear Stearns applied the discounted cash flow sensitivity
analysis across this period using a variety of assumed revenue growth rates and operating margins
based on Keith&#146;s historic and budgeted revenue growth rates and operating margins and
industry-average revenue growth rates and operating margins. Bear Stearns also used a range of
discount rates corresponding to Keith&#146;s estimated weighted average cost of capital during the
period. This estimated weighted average cost of capital was calculated utilizing an unlevered beta
of 0.91, the average unlevered beta of the Public E&#038;C Companies Peer Group.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based on the foregoing, the equity values per share of Keith common stock were estimated to be
as follows:

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bear Stearns calculated the implied equity splits based on the relative contributions of Keith
and Stantec to certain income statement categories of the pro forma combined company, including
2004 net income, analyst estimates for 2005 net income and equity value at market, in each case
before the effect of any synergies resulting from the merger. Bear Stearns then compared these
implied equity splits to the proportion of the implied equity value that Keith&#146;s shareholders would
receive based on the merger consideration of US$21.87 per share. For purposes of this analysis and
calculating Keith&#146;s pro forma ownership percentage, Bear Stearns treated the cash portion of the
merger consideration as if it were Stantec common shares and observed that Keith&#146;s ownership
percentage of the pro forma combined equity value (based on the total merger consideration and the
treatment of the cash portion of the merger consideration as if it were common stock of Stantec)
would be 29.0%. Bear Stearns noted that Keith&#146;s pro forma ownership percentage would be greater
than Keith&#146;s implied equity split based on each of 2004 net income, analyst estimates for 2005 net
income and equity value at market of 25.9%, 24.1% and 23.9%, respectively.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bear Stearns also calculated the implied enterprise value splits based on the relative
contributions of Keith and Stantec to certain income statement and balance sheet categories of the
pro forma combined company, including net revenues, gross profit, EBITDA, operating income, total
assets, total assets excluding cash and enterprise value at market, in each case before the effect
of any synergies resulting from the merger. Bear Stearns then compared these implied enterprise
value splits to the proportion of the implied enterprise value that Keith&#146;s shareholders would
receive based on the merger consideration of US$21.87 per share. For purposes of this analysis and
calculating Keith&#146;s pro forma ownership percentage, Bear Stearns treated the cash portion of the
merger consideration as if it were Stantec common shares and observed that Keith&#146;s ownership
percentage of the pro forma combined enterprise value (based on the total merger consideration and
the treatment of the cash portion of the merger consideration as if it were common stock of
Stantec) would be 23.4%. Bear Stearns noted Keith&#146;s pro forma ownership percentage would be
greater than Keith&#146;s implied enterprise value split based on each of net revenues, gross profit,
total assets excluding cash and enterprise value at market of 21.1%, 15.6%, 17.6% and 18.3%,
respectively, and that Keith&#146;s implied enterprise value split based on each of EBITDA, operating
income and total assets of 24.1%, 26.1% and 25.1%, respectively, would be greater than Keith&#146;s pro
forma ownership percentage.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Pro Forma Transaction Analysis</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bear Stearns performed a pro forma transaction analysis to determine the accretive/dilutive
effect of the merger on the earnings per share of Stantec common stock based on merger
consideration of US$21.87 per share. This pro forma transaction analysis was performed on a cash
basis, without taking into account the amortization of intangibles resulting from the merger, and
was designed to illustrate the financial impact of the merger on Keith shareholders and Stantec
shareholders alike by calculating the percentage change in the anticipated earnings per share of
Stantec common shares following the issuance of Stantec common shares pursuant to the
merger. Bear Stearns conducted this analysis both under the assumption that no synergies would
result from the merger and under the assumption that approximately US$4.9&nbsp;million in potential pre-tax synergies
estimated by Keith&#146;s management could result from the merger.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based on its analysis, Bear Stearns determined that the merger would result in immediate
accretion to the earnings per Stantec common share regardless of whether the potential
pre-tax synergies estimated by Keith&#146;s management were included in the analysis. For instance,
assuming that no synergies result from the merger, the pro forma earnings per Stantec
common share will reflect accretion of 5.9% or $0.09 per share. Likewise, assuming that the approximately US$4.9
million in potential pre-tax synergies estimated by Keith&#146;s management result

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">from the merger, the pro
forma earnings per Stantec common share will reflect
accretion of 15.5% or $0.22 per Stantec common share.


<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt">*&nbsp; *&nbsp; *



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with rendering its opinion to Keith&#146;s board of directors, Bear Stearns performed
a variety of financial and comparative valuation analyses, and did not rely on any single analysis
or factor described above, assign relative weights to the analyses or factors considered by it, or
make any conclusion as to how the results of any given analysis, taken alone, supported its
opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process that involves various
determinations as to the most relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of these
methods to the particular circumstances and is not susceptible to a partial analysis or summary
description. Bear Stearns believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that
selection of portions of its analyses and of the factors considered by it, without considering all
the factors and analyses in the aggregate, could create a different view of the processes
underlying its opinion. In addition, Bear Stearns may have deemed various assumptions more or less
probable than other assumptions, so that the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular
analysis described above should not be taken to be its view of the actual value of Keith.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The results of any analyses performed by Bear Stearns are not necessarily indicative of future
results or actual values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by
these analyses. Analyses relating to the value of companies do not purport to be appraisals or
valuations or to necessarily reflect the price at which companies may actually be sold. No company
or transaction used in any analysis for purposes of comparison is identical to Keith or the merger.
Accordingly, an analysis of the results of the comparisons is not mathematical; rather it involves
complex considerations and judgments about differences in the companies and transactions to which
Keith and the merger were compared and other factors that could affect the public trading values of
the companies involved. The analyses summarized above were prepared solely as a part of Bear
Stearns&#146; analysis of the fairness of the merger consideration from a financial point of view to the
holders of shares of Keith&#146;s common stock and were provided to Keith&#146;s board of directors in
connection with the delivery of Bear Stearns&#146; opinion. The analyses do not purport to be appraisals
of value or to reflect the prices at which Keith&#146;s common stock or Stantec&#146;s common shares might
actually trade. In addition, as described above, Bear Stearns&#146; opinion was one of the many factors
taken into consideration by Keith&#146;s board of directors in making its determination to approve the
merger agreement. The merger consideration was determined through negotiations between Keith&#146;s
board of directors and Stantec and was approved by and recommended by Keith&#146;s board of directors.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Keith has agreed to pay Bear Stearns customary fees for its financial advisory services in
connection with the merger, a substantial portion of which is contingent on successful completion
of the merger. Keith also has agreed to reimburse Bear Stearns for its reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, including reasonable fees and out-of pocket expenses of legal counsel, and to indemnify
Bear Stearns and related parties against liabilities, including liabilities under the federal
securities laws, arising out of its engagement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bear Stearns is an internationally recognized investment banking and advisory firm and, as a
customary part of its investment banking business, is continuously engaged in the valuation of
businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, split-offs
and other corporate restructurings, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary
distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements, leveraged buyouts and
valuations for corporate, estate and other purposes. In the ordinary course of its business, Bear
Stearns and its affiliates may actively trade the equity and debt securities and/or bank debt of
Keith or Stantec for its own account or for the account of its customers and, accordingly, may at
any time hold a long or short position in such securities or bank debt.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Reasons for Stantec&#146;s Board Recommendation</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Stantec board of directors believes that the merger is in the best interests of Stantec
and its shareholders. In approving the merger and the merger agreement, the Stantec board of
directors considered a number of material factors, including the factors described below. In view
of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger, the Stantec
board did not find it practicable to, and did not quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to
the specific factors considered in reaching its determination and recommendation. In addition,
individual directors may have given differing weights to different factors:

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the Stantec board of directors is not
intended to be exhaustive, but includes the material factors considered by the Stantec board.
After weighing all of the different factors, the Stantec board of directors unanimously approved
the merger agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Interests of Keith&#146;s and Stantec&#146;s Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When you consider the Keith board of directors&#146; recommendation to vote in favor of approval of
the merger, you should be aware that Keith&#146;s executive officers and directors may have interests in
the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of the other Keith
shareholders. Keith&#146;s board of directors was aware that these interests existed when it approved
and declared advisable the merger agreement and determined that the merger agreement and the merger
are fair to, and in the best interests of, Keith&#146;s public shareholders.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Stockholders Support Agreement</I>. Aram H. Keith, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Keith and Keith&#146;s largest beneficial shareholder, has granted a proxy to Stantec to vote his Keith
common stock in favor of the merger. See &#147;Other Agreements&#151;Stockholders Support Agreement.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Letter Agreement</I>. Mr.&nbsp;Keith has also entered into a letter agreement with Stantec pursuant to
which, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, he will become Vice Chairman of Stantec
following the consummation of the merger. In addition, upon satisfaction of certain conditions,
which includes the payment to Mr.&nbsp;Keith of US$525,000, Mr.&nbsp;Keith&#146;s change in control agreement with
Keith will terminate at the effective time of the merger. See &#147;Other Agreements&#151;Letter Agreement.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Change in Control Agreements. </I>Mr.&nbsp;Keith as well as Eric C. Nielsen, Keith&#146;s President and
Chief Operating Officer, and Gary C. Campanaro, Keith&#146;s Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and a
director of Keith are each a party to a change in control agreement with Keith, which provide for
severance payments to these executive officers in certain circumstances following a change in
control of Keith. The change in control agreements provide certain benefits to the named officers
if the executive officer&#146;s employment with Keith terminates as a result of an involuntary or
constructive termination (as these terms are defined in the agreements) at any time within two
years following a change in control. The merger will constitute a &#147;change in control&#148; under the
change in control agreements. Pursuant to the agreements, each executive officer will receive a
one-time payment, equal to two times his highest annual level of total cash compensation (including
any and all bonus amounts) paid by Keith to him during any one of the three consecutive calendar
years (inclusive of the year of termination) immediately prior to termination. The level of annual
cash compensation for the year in which a termination occurs will include any bonus amounts that
the executive officer is eligible to receive during the year of termination, whether or not the
bonus was earned by him. In addition, any unvested options previously granted to the executive
officer will immediately vest and become exercisable as of the date of exercise until their
respective expiration date. Furthermore, if the executive officer&#146;s employment with Keith
terminates as a result of an involuntary or

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">constructive termination at any time within two years following a change in control, any
unvested restricted shares granted to these executive officers become immediately vested. Under
these change in control agreements, for a two-year period following the termination, the executive
officer is also entitled to receive continuing health coverage at a level commensurate to the
coverage provided by Keith to the executive officer immediately prior to the change in control; all
other benefits under welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided or offered by
Keith, including medical, dental, prescription, disability, employee life, group life, accidental
death and travel accident insurance plans and programs; fringe benefits, including, without
limitation, tax and financial planning services, payment of club dues and an automobile allowance;
and a reasonable level of outplacement services selected by the executive officer. Under the change
in control agreements, the executive officer also is entitled to receive a payment by Keith to
offset any excise tax under the excess parachute payment provisions of Section&nbsp;4999 of the Code
that has been levied against the executive officer for payments that Keith has made to, or for the
benefit of, that executive officer (whether or not those payments are made pursuant to the
executive officer&#146;s change in control agreement). The payment by Keith will be grossed up so that
after the executive officer pays all taxes (including any interest or penalties with respect to
those taxes) on the payment, the executive officer will receive an additional payment equal to the
excise tax imposed.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Vested Stock Options. </I>Upon closing of the merger, each vested option to acquire shares of
Keith common stock pursuant to Keith&#146;s Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, including
those held by an executive officer or director, will be cancelled with no further rights. Prior to
closing, holders of vested options to acquire Keith common stock, including executive officers and
directors, may exercise their options by paying the exercise price in cash or surrendering a
portion of their options in lieu of cash.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Unvested Stock Options. </I>Upon closing of the merger, each unvested option to acquire shares of
Keith common stock pursuant to Keith&#146;s Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, including
those held by an executive officer or director, will be cancelled with no further rights. Prior to
closing, Keith will offer to purchase all unvested options to acquire Keith common stock, including
those held by an executive officer or director, subject to the closing of the merger, at a price
equal to US$16.50 in cash plus the cash value of 0.23 Stantec common shares, based on the 20-day
average trading price prior to the merger, less the exercise price of such option.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Unvested Restricted Stock. </I>Upon closing of the merger, each share of unvested Keith
restricted common stock that remains subject to forfeiture and other restrictions under Keith&#146;s
Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, including shares held by an executive officer or
director, will be substituted with 0.23 Stantec common shares per share of Keith common stock plus
a variable amount of Stantec common shares equal to US$16.50 per share of Keith common stock, based
on the 20-day average trading price of Stantec common shares. The Stantec common shares

merger to U.S. Holders, as defined below, of Keith common stock who will exchange their Keith

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>EACH HOLDER OF KEITH COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE
PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO SUCH HOLDER.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>The Merger</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the merger has been structured to qualify as a
reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code in which each of Stantec, Keith,
and Stantec Consulting will be a party to the reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b)
of the Code. Assuming the merger so qualifies, the exchange of Keith common stock for Stantec
common shares in the merger generally will not result in the recognition of gain by U.S. Holders
(except as described below in the case of a 5% transferee shareholder who does not enter into a
&#147;gain recognition agreement&#148; in accordance with applicable Treasury regulations). It is a
condition to the closing that Stantec and Keith shall have each received opinions to such effect
from Shearman &#038; Sterling LLP and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer &#038; Feld LLP, respectively, which opinions
shall not have been withdrawn or modified in any material respect. These opinions rely upon
certain factual representations made by Stantec, Keith and Stantec Consulting as of the date of
this registration statement. The issuance of such opinions is conditioned upon the receipt by each
of Shearman &#038; Sterling LLP and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer &#038; Feld LLP of certain additional factual
representations to be made by Stantec, Keith, and Stantec Consulting, which representations shall
be dated on or before the date of such opinions and shall not have been withdrawn or modified in
any material respects. Such opinions will neither bind the IRS nor preclude the IRS from adopting
a contrary position. We have been advised by counsel that whether the reorganization qualifies as
a tax-free reorganization, and whether counsel is able to provide the above referenced opinion,
depends, in part, upon the market price of Stantec common shares. If the market price of Stantec
common shares drops significantly, it is possible that the reorganization may not qualify as a
tax-free reorganization, and counsel may not be able to render such opinions.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the merger agreement, if Stantec or Keith receives written notice from its counsel
to the effect that such counsel is unlikely to be able to deliver the tax opinion described in the
preceding paragraph, Stantec shall have the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to effect a
reverse-subsidiary merger so that Stantec Consulting will merge with and into Keith, such that the
separate corporate existence of Stantec Consulting will cease and Keith shall continue as a
subsidiary of Stantec, which is referred to as the reverse-subsidiary merger. The
reverse-subsidiary merger would not be intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning
of Section 368(a) of the Code, and its potential tax consequences are described separately below
under &#147;&#151;The Reverse-Subsidiary Merger.&#148; If the merger does not qualify as a tax-free
reorganization and Stantec does not exercise its option to effect a reverse-subsidiary merger,
Keith will not be obligated to consummate the merger.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to a particular U.S. Holder of Keith
common stock will depend on the form of consideration received by the U.S. Holder in exchange for
its Keith common stock. In general, provided that the merger qualifies as a reorganization under
the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code,

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, the U.S. federal income
tax consequences of the merger are summarized below.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Exchange of Keith Common Stock Solely for Stantec Common Shares</I>. A U.S. Holder who exchanges
Keith common stock solely for Stantec common shares will not recognize any gain or loss on the
exchange except to the extent the U.S. Holder receives cash in lieu of fractional Stantec common
shares (as discussed below). In the case of a 5% transferee shareholder who exchanges Keith common
stock solely for Stantec common shares, this treatment will apply provided that the 5% transferee
shareholder enters into a gain recognition agreement in accordance with applicable Treasury
regulations. In addition, such 5% transferee shareholders will be required to file certain annual
information statements with their income tax returns for each of the first five full taxable years
following the taxable year of the merger. Such 5% transferee shareholders should consult their tax
advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to them. The aggregate
adjusted tax basis of the Stantec common shares received by a U.S. Holder of Keith common stock
(including fractional Stantec common shares deemed received and redeemed as described below) will
equal the U.S. Holder&#146;s aggregate adjusted tax basis in the Keith common stock surrendered in the
merger. The holding period of the Stantec common shares received pursuant to the merger (including
fractional Stantec common shares deemed received and redeemed as described below) will include the
holding period of the Keith common stock surrendered in the merger.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Exchange of Keith Common Stock for Cash and Stantec Common Shares</I>. If a U.S. Holder exchanges
Keith common stock for a combination of Stantec common shares and cash and the U.S. Holder&#146;s
adjusted tax basis in the Keith common stock surrendered in the merger is less than the sum of the
fair market value, as of the date of the merger, of the Stantec common shares and the amount of
cash received by the U.S. Holder, the U.S. Holder will recognize gain equal to the lesser of:

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the case of a 5% transferee shareholder who exchanges Keith common stock for a combination of
Stantec common shares and cash, this treatment will apply provided that the 5% transferee
shareholder enters into a gain recognition agreement in accordance with applicable Treasury
regulations. In addition, such 5% transferee shareholders will be required to file certain annual
information statements with their income tax returns for each of the first five full taxable years
following the taxable year of the merger. Such 5% transferee shareholders should consult their tax
advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to them. If a U.S. Holder&#146;s
adjusted tax basis in the Keith common stock surrendered in the merger is greater than the sum of
the amount of cash and the fair market value of the Stantec common shares received in the merger,
the U.S. Holder will realize a loss that is not currently allowed or recognized for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. U.S. Holders of Keith common stock who bought shares of Keith common stock at
different prices, or otherwise own shares with unequal bases, must make the above calculations
separately for each share of Keith common stock surrendered in the merger, taking into account the
U.S. Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in each share and a pro rata portion of the aggregate
consideration received by the U.S. Holder. A loss realized on one share of Keith common stock may
not be used to offset a gain realized on another share of Keith common stock.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any gain that a U.S. Holder recognizes will generally be long-term capital gain if the U.S.
Holder&#146;s holding period with respect to the Keith common stock surrendered is more than one year as
of the date of the merger. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders, including
individuals, generally are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. If, however, the cash received
has the effect of the distribution of a dividend, the gain will be treated as dividend to the
extent of the U.S. Holder&#146;s ratable share of earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. For purposes of determining whether the receipt of cash by the U.S. Holder
has the effect of a distribution of a dividend, a U.S. Holder of Keith common stock will be treated
as if the U.S. Holder first exchanged all of its Keith common stock solely for Stantec common
shares and then had a portion of such stock immediately redeemed by Stantec for the cash that such
U.S. Holder actually received pursuant to the merger. The IRS has indicated in rulings that any
reduction in the interest of a minority shareholder that owns a small number of shares in a
publicly and widely held corporation and that exercises no control over corporate affairs would
receive capital gain rather than dividend treatment. In determining the amount of reduction in
interest, certain constructive ownership rules are taken into account. Because the determination
of whether a payment will be treated as having the effect of a distribution of a dividend generally
will depend on the facts and circumstances specific to each U.S.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Holder of Keith common stock, U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the
tax treatment of cash received in the merger.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the case of a U.S. Holder of Keith common stock who receives cash and Stantec common shares
in the merger, such U.S. Holder&#146;s aggregate basis in the Stantec common shares received (including
fractional Stantec common shares deemed received and redeemed as described below) will equal the
exchanging U.S. Holder&#146;s aggregate adjusted tax basis in the Keith common stock surrendered in the
merger, increased by any gain recognized as a result of the merger (including any portion of the
gain that is treated as a dividend as described above but excluding any gain or loss from the
deemed receipt and redemption of fractional shares) and reduced by the amount of cash received in
the merger (excluding any cash received with respect to a fractional share of Stantec common shares
deemed received and redeemed). The holding period of the Stantec common shares received (including
fractional Stantec common shares deemed received and redeemed as described below) will include the
holding period of the Keith common stock surrendered in the merger.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Exchange of Keith Common Stock Solely for Cash</I>. A U.S. Holder of Keith common stock who
exchanges Keith common stock solely for cash in the merger will recognize gain or loss in an amount
equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in the merger and the U.S. Holder&#146;s
adjusted tax basis in the Keith common stock surrendered in the merger. The gain or loss
recognized by the U.S. Holder will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder&#146;s holding
period for the Keith common stock surrendered is more than one year as of the date of the merger.
Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, generally are
eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to
limitations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Vested Stock Options. </I>Upon closing of the merger, each vested option to acquire shares of
Keith common stock under Keith&#146;s Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Incentive Plan will be cancelled
with no further rights. Prior to closing, holders of vested options to acquire Keith common stock
may exercise their options by paying the exercise price in cash. Keith anticipates that it also
may offer optionholders the opportunity to exercise their options by surrendering a portion of
their stock options in lieu of cash. Neither the Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Incentive Plan or
the forms of Option Agreements used for awards under the Plan specifically permit the exercise of
options by surrendering a portion of the options in lieu of cash. The addition of this exercise
alternative in connection with the merger transaction may be considered a modification of the
outstanding nonqualified stock options and, to the extent any such offer is accepted, incentive
stock options.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under new U.S. tax rules governing nonqualified deferred compensation (Section&nbsp;409A of the
Code, effective January&nbsp;1, 2005), the modification of an outstanding stock option may be treated as
the grant of a new option. Preliminary IRS guidance interpreting Section&nbsp;409A provides that the
grant of a stock option at less than fair market value may be treated as nonqualified deferred
compensation subject to the requirements of Section&nbsp;409A. Section&nbsp;409A provides certain
requirements governing the timing of distributions that the modified options may not satisfy.
Failure to satisfy the Section&nbsp;409A distribution requirements with respect to nonqualified deferred
compensation will result in immediate taxation, the potential imposition of interest on any late
payment of tax and the imposition of an additional 20% tax over and above the regular ordinary
income tax amount. However, the preliminary IRS guidance interpreting Section&nbsp;409A provides that
short-term deferrals, where the amount is received by the service provider by the later of 2-1/2
months after the end of either the optionee&#146;s or Keith&#146;s first taxable year in which the amount is
no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, will not be considered nonqualified deferred
compensation. Although the proposed modification will occur at a time when the exercise price of
the option is less than the fair market value of the underlying Keith common stock, the
modification should not cause the options to be treated as nonqualified deferred compensation where
the merger consideration is paid within 2-1/2&nbsp;months of the end of the taxable year in which the
option is modified, although this conclusion is not entirely clear. Incentive stock options that
are modified at a time when the exercise price is less than the fair market value of the underlying
Keith stock will be treated as nonqualified stock options.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;U.S. optionholders will recognize ordinary income on exercise of nonqualified stock options in
an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of Keith common stock received upon exercise
over the exercise price paid, referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the spread. To the
extent nonqualified options are exercised by surrendering a portion of the options in lieu of cash,
the surrendered options will be taxed as if they were exercised for cash. U.S. optionholders who
hold incentive stock options will not recognize ordinary income on exercise, but the option spread
is an adjustment item for alternative minimum tax purposes. To the extent incentive stock option
shares are disposed of within two years of the initial option grant date or one year of option
exercise, referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as statutory holding periods, the optionee
generally will have a &#147;disqualifying disposition.&#148; Upon a disqualifying disposition, the optionee
will recognize ordinary income equal to the lesser of (1)&nbsp;the spread on the date of exercise of the
disposed shares, and (2)&nbsp;the gain realized on the

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">disqualifying disposition (reflecting basis adjustments as a result of the merger). For these
purposes, the receipt of merger consideration, including any cash in lieu of Stantec common stock,
should not constitute a disqualifying disposition, although this conclusion is not entirely clear.
With respect to shares previously acquired upon option exercise, including incentive stock option
shares, the general tax consequences of the merger discussed herein should apply. Thus, (1)&nbsp;any
cash merger consideration should be taxed as either short-term or long-term capital gain, depending
on the holding period of the shares acquired by the exercise of options; and (2)&nbsp;any subsequent
disposition of Stantec common stock received as merger consideration in connection with incentive
stock option shares will be taxed as a disqualifying disposition if such shares are disposed of
prior to the end of the statutory holding periods.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Unvested Stock Options. </I>Upon closing of the merger, each unvested option to acquire shares of
Keith common stock under Keith&#146;s Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Incentive Plan will be cancelled
with no further rights. Prior to closing, Keith will offer to purchase all unvested options to
acquire Keith common stock, subject to the closing of the merger, at a price equal to US$16.50 plus
the cash value of 0.23 Stantec common shares, based on the 20-day average trading price prior to
the merger, less the exercise price of such option. For U.S. tax purposes, an optionee recognizes
as ordinary income the amount paid by Keith to purchase the optionee&#146;s unvested options to acquire
Keith common stock.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Unvested Restricted Stock. </I>Upon closing of the merger, each share of unvested Keith
restricted common stock that remains subject to forfeiture and other restrictions under Keith&#146;s
Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Incentive Plan will be substituted with 0.23 Stantec common shares
per share of Keith common stock plus a variable amount of Stantec common shares equal to US$16.50
per share of Keith common stock, based on the 20-day average trading price of Stantec common
shares. The Stantec common shares substituted for the unvested Keith restricted stock will be
subject to similar restrictions to that which the unvested Keith restricted stock are currently
subject. If the holder of Keith restricted common stock filed a valid Section 83(b) election with
the U.S. Internal Revenue Service within thirty days of purchasing the shares, the tax consequences
to the holder generally will be the same as that of Keith shareholders as discussed below. If the
holder did not file a valid Section 83(b) election, the merger is of no consequence and the U.S.
tax implications are unchanged. This means that the holder will recognize ordinary income on each
vesting day equal to the fair market value of the Stantec common shares that vest, and any
subsequent gain on later disposition will be short-term or long-term capital gain, depending upon
the period of time the shares are held after they vest.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Cash Received in Lieu of Fractional Shares</I>. A U.S. Holder of Keith common stock who receives
cash in lieu of a fractional share of Stantec common shares will be treated as if the U.S. Holder
first received such fractional share in the merger and then as having received cash in redemption
of the fractional share. Thus, such a U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss in an
amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share
and the portion of the U.S. Holder&#146;s aggregate adjusted tax basis in its Keith common stock
surrendered that is allocable to the fractional share.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Cash Received Pursuant to the Exercise of Dissenters&#146; Rights</I>. A U.S. Holder of Keith common
stock who receives cash for all of its Keith common stock pursuant to the exercise of dissenters&#146;
rights in connection with the merger generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference
between the tax basis of the Keith common stock surrendered and the amount of cash received. Gain
or loss will be capital gain or loss and any such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital
gain or loss if the U.S. Holder&#146;s holding period for the Keith common stock surrendered is more
than one year as of the date of the disposition.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding. </I>Each U.S. Holder of Keith common stock that
receives Stantec common shares in the merger will be required to file a statement with its U.S.
federal income tax return providing its basis in the Keith common stock surrendered and the fair
market value of the Stantec common shares and any cash received in the merger, and to retain
permanent records of this information relating to the merger. Five percent transferee shareholders
who intend to enter into gain recognition agreements in accordance with applicable Treasury
regulations must file such agreements with their U.S. federal income tax returns for the year of
the merger, and will be required to file certain annual information statements with their income
tax returns for each of the first five full taxable years following the taxable year of the merger.
Such 5% transferee shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the requirements
applicable to them.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In general, backup withholding may apply to the amount of cash, if any, received by a U.S.
Holder of Keith common stock in the merger, including cash received in lieu of fractional shares,
unless the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient, such as a corporation. Backup withholding at a rate
of 28% will apply to those payments if a U.S. Holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification
number and fails to comply with certain certification procedures or

the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against a U.S. Holder&#146;s U.S.
federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely
manner.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;6043A of the Code, Stantec, Stantec Consulting or Keith may be required, under
regulations and forms to be promulgated by the U.S. Treasury and the IRS to report certain
information to the IRS and to Keith shareholders regarding the merger, the consideration and the
shareholders receiving non-stock consideration. Under Section&nbsp;1.368-3 of the Treasury regulations,
Stantec, Stantec Consulting, and Keith will be required to report certain information about the
merger with their U.S. federal income tax returns for the taxable year of the merger.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that Stantec exercises its right to effect the reverse-subsidiary merger, the
merger would not be intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of
the Code. As such, a U.S. Holder of Keith common stock that exchanges Keith common stock solely
for cash in the reverse-subsidiary merger generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal
to the difference between the amount of cash received and the U.S. Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in
the Keith common stock surrendered in the reverse-subsidiary merger. The gain or loss recognized
by a U.S. Holder will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder&#146;s holding period for the
Keith common stock surrendered is more than one year as of the date of the reverse-subsidiary
merger. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers, including individuals, generally are
eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to
limitations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Ownership of Stantec Common Shares</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Distributions on Stantec Common Shares. </I>Subject to the passive foreign investment company
(&#147;PFIC&#148;) rules discussed below, distributions with respect to Stantec common shares (before
reduction for Canadian withholding taxes) paid out of Stantec&#146;s current or accumulated earnings and
profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be dividends and will be
includable in the U.S. Holder&#146;s income when received. Subject to certain limitations, dividends
paid to non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, may be eligible for a reduced rate of
taxation if Stantec is deemed to be a &#147;qualified foreign corporation&#148; for U.S. federal income tax
purposes and certain holding requirements are met. A qualified foreign corporation includes a
foreign corporation that is eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty with the United
States and that includes an exchange of information provision that the U.S. Treasury Department has
determined to be satisfactory for purposes of the qualified dividend provisions of the Code, but
does not include an otherwise qualified foreign corporation that is a PFIC. The U.S. Treasury
Department issued a notice determining that the Convention is satisfactory for such purposes. In
addition, a foreign corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to
dividends received from that corporation on shares that are readily tradable on an established
securities market in the United States. In general, there are substantial requirements that must
be met for dividends paid to non-corporate U.S. Holders to be taxed at the reduced rate, including
additional requirements applicable to foreign corporations. Non-corporate U.S. Holders of Stantec
common shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these requirements
given their particular circumstances. Stantec believes that it is eligible for the benefits of the
Convention, and that Stantec will continue to be a qualified foreign corporation for so long as it
is not a PFIC and it continues to be eligible for benefits of the Convention. Dividends on Stantec
common shares will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to U.S.
corporations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The amount of any dividend paid in Canadian dollars will equal the U.S. dollar value of the
Canadian dollars received calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the
dividend is received by a U.S. Holder regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are converted into
U.S. dollars. If the Canadian dollars received as a dividend are not converted into U.S. dollars
at the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a basis in the Canadian dollars equal to the U.S.
dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion or other
disposition of the Canadian dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will
be income or loss from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A U.S. Holder may be entitled to claim a U.S. foreign tax credit for, or deduct, Canadian
taxes that are withheld on dividends received by the U.S. Holder, subject to applicable limitations
in the Code. Dividends will be income from sources outside the United States, and for tax years
beginning before January&nbsp;1, 2007, generally will be &#147;passive income&#148; or &#147;financial services
income,&#148; and for tax years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2006, generally will be &#147;passive category
income&#148; or &#147;general category income&#148; for purposes of computing the U.S. foreign tax credit
allowable to a U.S. Holder. The rules governing the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex, and U.S.

under their particular circumstances.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds Stantec&#146;s current or accumulated
earnings and profits for a taxable year, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free
return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder&#146;s basis, and any excess will be treated as capital
gain. Such an excess distribution would not give rise to income from sources outside the United
States.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Disposition of Stantec Common Shares. </I>For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder
will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale or other disposition of Stantec common shares in an
amount equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized for the Stantec
common shares and the U.S. Holder&#146;s tax basis (determined in U.S. dollars) in the Stantec common
shares. Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or
loss if the U.S. Holder&#146;s holding period for the Stantec common shares is more than one year as of
the date of disposition. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers, including
individuals, are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is
subject to limitations. Such gain or loss will be income or loss from sources within the United
States for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules</I>. Stantec does not believe that it was, for its most
recently ended taxable year, or will be classified as for its current taxable year, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, a PFIC, but this conclusion is a factual determination that is made
annually and thus may be subject to change. If Stantec were to be treated as a PFIC for any
taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held Stantec common shares, unless the U.S. Holder elected
to be taxed annually on a mark-to-market basis with respect to the Stantec common shares, gain
realized on the sale or other disposition of the Stantec common shares would in general not be
treated as capital gain. Instead, a U.S. Holder would be treated as if the shareholder had
realized such gain and certain &#147;excess distributions&#148; ratably over the U.S. Holder&#146;s holding period
for the common shares and would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year to
which the gain was allocated, together with a special interest charge in respect of the tax
attributable to each such year. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to
how the PFIC rules could affect their tax situation.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Information Reporting and Backup Withholding</I>. In general, backup withholding will apply to
dividends on Stantec common shares and the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of Stantec
common shares unless a U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient, such as a corporation. Backup
withholding at a rate of 28% will apply to those payments if a U.S. Holder fails to provide a
taxpayer identification number and fails to comply with certain certification procedures or
otherwise fails to establish an exemption from backup withholding. Any amount withheld under the
backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against a shareholder&#146;s U.S. federal
income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following discussion is a summary of the material Canadian federal income tax
considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as
the Canadian Tax Act) of the conversion of Keith common stock into Stantec common shares (and cash
in lieu of a fractional Stantec common share) in the merger and the ownership of Stantec common
shares received pursuant to the merger, generally applicable to holders of Keith common stock who,
for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and at all relevant times, are not and are not deemed to be
resident in Canada, hold Keith common stock and will hold Stantec common shares as capital
property, deal at arm&#146;s length with Stantec and Keith and who do not use or hold and are not deemed
to use or hold the Keith common stock or the Stantec common shares in connection with carrying on
business in Canada and for whom neither the Keith common stock nor the Stantec common shares are
&#147;designated insurance property&#148; (referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as non-resident
holders). This discussion does not apply to a non-resident insurer that carries on business in
Canada and elsewhere.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act, the regulations
under the Canadian Tax Act, all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act and the
regulations publicly announced by the Minister of Finance prior to the date of this proxy
statement/prospectus and the current published administrative and assessing practices of the Canada
Revenue Agency. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any change in law,
whether by legislative, governmental or judicial action, nor does it take into account or consider
any provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed
to be, legal or tax advice to holders of Keith common stock. Accordingly, holders of Keith common
stock should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Conversion of Keith Common Stock</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The conversion of the Keith common stock into Stantec common shares (and cash in lieu of a
fractional common share of Stantec) pursuant to the merger will not give rise to tax for a
non-resident holder under the Canadian Tax Act.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Dividends on Stantec Common Shares</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dividends paid or credited (or deemed to have been paid or credited) on the Stantec common
shares to a non-resident holder will be subject to non-resident withholding tax under the Canadian
Tax Act of 25% of the gross amount of those dividends (subject to reduction in accordance with an
applicable international tax treaty between Canada and the Non-resident holder&#146;s country of
residence). Where the non-resident holder is a resident of the United States for purposes of the
Convention, the rate of this withholding tax is generally reduced to 15%. Under the Convention,
dividends paid to certain religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organizations
and certain pension organizations that are resident in, and generally exempt from taxation by, the
United States, are generally exempt from Canadian non-resident withholding tax. Provided that
certain administrative procedures are observed by such an organization, Stantec would not be
required to withhold tax from dividends paid or credited to the organization.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Disposition of Stantec Common Shares</I></B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A non-resident holder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act in respect of any
capital gain realized by that non-resident holder on a disposition of a Stantec common share,
unless the Stantec common share constitutes &#147;taxable Canadian property&#148; of the non-resident holder
for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and the non-resident holder is not entitled to relief under an
applicable tax treaty. Provided that, at the time of disposition, the Stantec common shares are
listed on a prescribed stock exchange (which includes the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York
Stock Exchange), the Stantec common shares will generally not constitute taxable Canadian property
to a non-resident holder unless, at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the
disposition of the Stantec common shares, the holder, persons with whom the holder does not deal at
arm&#146;s length or the holder together with those persons, owns not less than 25% of the issued shares
of any class or any series of shares of Stantec.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Even if the Stantec common shares are taxable Canadian property to a non-resident holder, the
Convention will generally exempt a non-resident holder who is a resident of the United States for
purposes of the Convention from tax under the Canadian Tax Act on any capital gain arising on the
disposition of a Stantec common share unless the value of the shares of Stantec at the time of
disposition is derived principally from real property situated in Canada.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Anticipated Accounting Treatment</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is expected that the merger will be accounted for as a purchase by Stantec of Keith under
Canadian and U.S. GAAP. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of the
acquired company are, as of completion of the merger, recorded at their respective fair values and
added to those of the reporting public issuer, including an amount for goodwill representing the
difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable net assets. Financial
statements of Stantec issued after consummation of the merger will only reflect the operations of
Keith after the merger and will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial
position or results of operations of Keith.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information contained in this proxy
statement/prospectus has been prepared using the purchase method to account for the merger. The
allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the merger is completed and after
completion of an analysis to determine the assigned fair values of Keith&#146;s tangible and
identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. In addition, estimates related to restructuring
and merger-related charges are subject to final decisions related to combining Stantec and Keith.
Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments and restructuring and merger-related charges
may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments and changes presented in this
proxy statement/prospectus. Any decrease in the net fair value of the assets and liabilities of
Keith as compared to the

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">unaudited pro forma information included in this proxy statement/prospectus will have the
effect of increasing the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Regulatory Matters Related to the Merger</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the HSR Act, acquisitions of a sufficient size may not be consummated unless
notification has been given and information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the
U.S. Department of Justice and to the Federal Trade Commission and applicable waiting period
requirements have been satisfied or early termination of the waiting period has been granted. The
consummation of the merger is subject to the expiration or early termination of the waiting period
under the HSR Act.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, appropriate authorities of any U.S. state or appropriate U.S. federal authorities
could take actions under state or U.S. federal antitrust laws seeking to stop completion of the
merger, if found appropriate, and in certain circumstances, third parties could seek relief under
U.S. or state antitrust laws.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other than the filings described above, neither Stantec nor Keith is aware of any government
or regulatory approvals to be obtained, or waiting periods to expire, to complete the merger. If
the parties discover that other approvals or waiting periods are necessary, they will seek to
obtain or comply with them. If any additional approval or action is needed, however, there is no
assurance that Stantec and Keith will be able to obtain it or any of the other necessary approvals.
Even if Stantec or Keith could obtain an approval and the merger agreement is adopted by the Keith
shareholders, conditions may be placed on it that could cause Stantec to abandon the merger if
permitted by the terms of the merger agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Merger Fees, Costs and Expenses</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All expenses incurred in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions
contemplated by the merger agreement will be paid by the party incurring those expenses, except
that Stantec and Keith have agreed to share equally the fees, costs and expenses related to
preparing, printing and mailing Stantec&#146;s registration statement on Form F-4 and this proxy
statement/prospectus and the filing fees incurred pursuant to the requirements of the HSR Act. The
parties have also agreed that Keith will pay certain other specified costs. See &#147;The Merger
Agreement &#151; Covenants and Agreements &#151; Fees and Expenses.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Dissenters&#146; Rights</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dissenters&#146; rights may be available to the shareholders of Keith. Shareholders of Keith who
dissent from the merger in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter&nbsp;13 of the CCC may be
entitled to receive an amount equal to the fair market value of their shares as of April&nbsp;14, 2005,
the last day before the public announcement of the merger.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To perfect their statutory dissenters&#146; rights, Keith shareholders must vote against the merger
and must follow the required procedures set forth in Chapter&nbsp;13 of the CCC, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Appendix&nbsp;D to this proxy statement/prospectus.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following summary is not a complete statement of the law pertaining to dissenters&#146; rights
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Chapter&nbsp;13 of the CCC. Any Keith shareholder
contemplating the exercise of dissenters&#146; rights should carefully review the provisions of Chapter
13 of the CCC, particularly those setting out the specific procedural steps required to perfect
dissenters&#146; rights. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS OF CHAPTER 13 WILL RESULT
IN A WAIVER OF A KEITH SHAREHOLDER&#146;S DISSENTERS&#146; RIGHTS.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to be entitled to exercise dissenters&#146; rights, Keith shareholders must vote &#147;AGAINST&#148;
the approval of the merger proposal. Thus, if Keith shareholders wish to dissent and they submit
the proxy, they must specify that their shares are to be voted &#147;AGAINST&#148; the approval of the merger
proposal. If a Keith shareholder submits a proxy without voting instructions or with instructions
to vote &#147;FOR&#148; the approval of the merger proposal, their shares will automatically be voted in
favor of the merger proposal and they will lose any dissenters&#146; rights. If a Keith shareholder
does not submit a proxy and he or she attends the special meeting, he or she must vote &#147;AGAINST&#148;
the approval of the merger proposal at the meeting to preserve their dissenters&#146; rights. Further,
if a Keith shareholder abstains from voting his or her shares, the shareholder will lose his or her
dissenters&#146; rights.

shareholder wishing to dissent must submit his or her share certificates to Keith or its transfer
agent to be endorsed as dissenting shares. The certificates will be stamped or endorsed with a
statement that they are dissenting shares. IF A KEITH SHAREHOLDER WISHING TO DISSENT TRANSFERS HIS

shareholder will lose their status as dissenting shares.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In a dissenters&#146; rights action, the court must first determine if the shares qualify as
dissenting shares. If the court determines that the shares qualify as dissenting shares, it will
either determine the fair market value or appoint one or more impartial appraisers to do so. The
court will assess and apportion the costs of the action as it considers equitable. However, if the
appraised value of the shares exceeds the price offered by the corporation by more than 25%, the
corporation must pay the costs of the suit, which may include (at the court&#146;s discretion),
attorneys&#146; fees, expert witness fees, and prejudgment interest.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Stock Exchange Listing</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stantec is obligated under the merger agreement to use its best efforts to cause the Stantec
common shares, including those issued in connection with the merger, to be approved for listing on
either the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market and the Toronto Stock Exchange.
In addition, it is a condition to the closing of the merger that these shares be approved for
listing on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market and the Toronto Stock
Exchange, in each case subject to customary conditions and official notice of issuance. Keith, at
its option, may waive the condition that the Stantec common shares be listed on either the New York
Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market and consummate the merger even if Stantec is unable to
list its common shares in the United States. If Stantec is unsuccessful in its listing application
with the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market and Keith waives the listing
condition, the Stantec common shares will only be tradable through the facilities of the Toronto
Stock Exchange.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stantec has filed an original listing application with the New York Stock Exchange and a
supplemental listing application with the Toronto Stock Exchange. A listing remains subject,
however, to Stantec fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and
the Toronto Stock Exchange. The Keith common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq National
Market following consummation of the merger.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>U.S. Resale Requirements</I>. The Stantec common shares issued in the merger will not be subject
to any restrictions on transfer arising under the Securities Act, except for shares issued to any
Keith shareholder who may be deemed to be an &#147;affiliate&#148; of Stantec or Keith for purposes of Rule
144 or Rule&nbsp;145 under the Securities Act. Each affiliate has entered into an agreement with Keith
providing that the affiliate will not transfer any Stantec common shares received in the merger
except in compliance with the Securities Act.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This document does not constitute a registration statement covering resales of shares by

disclosure obligations under applicable Canadian securities legislation and the rules of the
Toronto Stock Exchange, and except in the case of &#147;control persons,&#148; &#147;insiders&#148; (as those terms are
defined in the <I>Securities Act </I>(Ontario) and equivalent legislation in other Canadian jurisdictions)
and persons possessing material undisclosed information relating to Stantec or its securities, the
Stantec common shares issued pursuant to the merger agreement will not be subject to any
substantial restrictions on transfer under applicable Canadian securities legislation.

Keith common stock, approve the merger agreement and all other conditions to the merger are
satisfied or waived, Keith will be merged with and into Stantec Consulting. After the merger,
Stantec Consulting will be the surviving corporation.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The merger will become effective when the merger agreement and the certificate of merger are

agree, for the purpose of confirming the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions set forth
in the merger agreement.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Surviving Corporation Governing Documents</I>. The articles of incorporation of Stantec

merger, will be the bylaws of the surviving corporation until amended.

Keith will offer to purchase all unvested stock options and will deposit with the exchange agent,
for the benefit of holders of unvested options, cash equal to the cash payment less the exercise
price of the unvested options. Keith&#146;s offer to purchase will be conditioned upon the approval of

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Keith has also agreed that neither Keith&#146;s board of directors nor any committee will withdraw
or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Stantec or Stantec Consulting,
its approval or recommendation of the merger agreement and the merger unless the board of directors
determines in its good faith judgment and after consultation with independent legal counsel that
the failure to so withdraw or modify its approval and recommendation of the merger agreement and
the merger would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to Keith and its shareholders.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The parties have further agreed that at (1)&nbsp;the time the registration statement is declared

Keith, however, is not required to encourage the adoption of the merger agreement or secure the
vote of shareholders if the board of directors of Keith withdraws its recommendation. See
&#147;Termination, Amendment and Waiver&#151;Termination&#148; below.

corporation and its subsidiaries to honor all agreements of Keith and its subsidiaries that are
applicable to any current or former employees or directors of Keith or any subsidiary. Stantec
will use reasonable best efforts to provide that employees of Keith or any subsidiary receive
credit under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by the
surviving corporation or any of its subsidiaries for service accrued or deemed accrued prior to the
effective time; provided, however, that such crediting of service will not duplicate any benefit or
the funding of any such benefit. In addition, Stantec will use reasonable best efforts to waive
any limitations on benefits relating to any pre-existing conditions to the same extent such
limitations are waived under any comparable plan of Stantec or its subsidiaries and recognize, for
purposes of annual deductible and out-of-pocket limits under its medical and dental plans,
deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by employees of Keith and its subsidiaries in the
calendar year in which the effective time occurs.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Indemnification and Directors&#146; and Officers&#146; Insurance</I>. The merger agreement provides that
the bylaws of the surviving corporation will contain provisions no less favorable than the current
provisions in Keith&#146;s bylaws with respect to the indemnification of present and former officers and
directors of Keith. The merger agreement also provides that Stantec will maintain in effect for
six years the directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance maintained by Keith at the effective
time of the merger (provided that Stantec may substitute policies that are materially no less
favorable) with respect to matters that occurred prior to the effective time of the merger and that
Stantec will not be required to expend more than an amount per year equal to 175% of current annual
premiums paid by Keith for such insurance.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Obligations of Stantec Consulting. </I>Stantec has agreed to take all action necessary to cause
Stantec Consulting to perform its obligations under the merger agreement and to consummate the
merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Consents of Accountants. </I>Keith and Stantec have agreed to use all reasonable efforts to
deliver to each other consents from their respective independent auditors with respect to the
inclusion of reports by such auditors in the registration statement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Listing</I>. Stantec has agreed to promptly prepare and submit to the New York Stock Exchange or
the Nasdaq National Market, referred to together as the U.S. exchange, and the Toronto Stock
Exchange, listing applications covering the Stantec common shares to be issued in the merger and
will use its reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to the effective time, approval for the listing or
quotation of such Stantec common shares by the U.S. Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Stantec&#146;s Board of Directors</I>. Stantec has agreed to take all such action as may be necessary
to cause the chief executive officer of Keith to be appointed to the board of directors of Stantec.

authorize its and its subsidiaries&#146; representatives, to (1)&nbsp;facilitate any inquiries or the making
of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any competing

of Keith may furnish information to, and enter into discussions with, a person who has made an
unsolicited, written, bona fide proposal or offer regarding a competing transaction, referred to as
a superior proposal, if the board of directors of Keith has determined, in its good faith judgment,
after having received the advice of a financial advisor and after having consulted with independent
legal counsel, that the furnishing of such information or entering into discussions is required to
comply with its fiduciary obligations to Keith and its shareholders. If Keith receives a superior
proposal that Keith&#146;s board of directors has decided to recommend or pursue by terminating the
merger agreement, Keith will provide Stantec with three days to match the superior proposal.

which is attached as Appendix&nbsp;B to this proxy statement/prospectus.</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the stockholders support agreement, Aram H. Keith and Margie R. Keith Revocable Trust, Aram
H. Keith and Margie R. Keith granted an irrevocable proxy to Stantec to vote at any meeting of the
shareholders of Keith all of such stockholders&#146; shares of Keith: (1)&nbsp;in favor of the approval and
adoption of the merger agreement and approval of the merger; (2)&nbsp;against any action, agreement or
transaction or proposal that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty
or any other obligation or agreement of Keith under the merger agreement or that could result in

(3)&nbsp;in favor of any other matter necessary to the consummation of the merger.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each stockholder further agreed not to sell, dispose or otherwise encumber its shares of Keith
or take any action that would make any representation or warranty in the stockholders support
agreement untrue or incorrect.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the fulfillment of fiduciary obligations, each stockholder also agreed not to
solicit, discuss or otherwise facilitate any competing transaction or unsolicited proposal that
constitutes, or could lead to, a superior proposal; however, nothing in the agreement prohibits
Aram H. Keith, in his capacity as director and executive officer of Keith, from engaging in any
activity permitted pursuant to the merger agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The stockholders&#146; obligations under the stockholders support agreement will terminate when the
merger becomes effective or the merger agreement is terminated, whichever is earlier.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of March&nbsp;31, 2005, the stockholders owned (either beneficially or of record) 1,374,217 shares of Keith common stock, constituting approximately 17.2% of the outstanding shares of Keith
common stock (or approximately 16.8% of the outstanding shares of Keith common stock on a fully
diluted basis).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Letter Agreement</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;14, 2005, Stantec and Aram H. Keith entered into a letter agreement. Pursuant to the
terms of the letter agreement, Stantec agreed to cause Stantec Consulting to extend to Mr.&nbsp;Keith a
formal employment offer, which would supercede all of Mr.&nbsp;Keith&#146;s existing employment agreements,
including the change in control letter agreement, dated as of March&nbsp;22, 2001. Upon the close of
the merger, the delivery of the formal employment offer and the payment of US$525,000 by Stantec to
Mr.&nbsp;Keith, the existing change in control letter agreement will terminate.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Confidentiality Agreement</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following is a summary of certain provisions of the confidentiality agreement, dated as of
February&nbsp;18, 2005, between Keith and Stantec. Pursuant to the confidentiality agreement, each of
Keith and Stantec agreed, except as required by law, to keep confidential and not to disclose or
reveal any confidential information of the other party to any person other than certain of its
representatives, and not to use such confidential information for any purpose other than in
connection with the evaluation or consummation of the merger. Confidential information does not
include, however, information which (1)&nbsp;is or becomes generally available to the public (other than
as a result of a wrongful disclosure), (2)&nbsp;was already available to the party receiving such
information on a non-confidential basis, (3)&nbsp;becomes available to a party on a non-confidential
basis from a person who is not prohibited from disclosing such information to such Party or (4)&nbsp;was
independently acquired by the party receiving such information without violating its obligations
under the confidentiality agreement. If a party is required by law to disclose any confidential
information, such party must notify the party that provided the information and, if the receiving
party is unable to obtain a protective order or waive compliance with the terms of the
confidentiality agreement, such receiving party may disclose confidential information without
liability provided that it seeks to obtain confidential treatment of the confidential information.

<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Beneficial Ownership of Securities</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of Stantec
common shares, as of March&nbsp;21, 2005, by each director, each executive officer and all directors and
executive officers as a group.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Beneficial ownership is determined under rules issued by the SEC. Under these rules,
beneficial ownership includes any Stantec common shares as to which the individual or entity has
sole or shared voting power or investment power and includes any shares as to which the individual
or entity has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60&nbsp;days through the exercise of any
warrant, option or other right. The inclusion in this proxy statement/prospectus of such Stantec
common shares, however, does not constitute an admission that the named individual is a direct or
indirect beneficial owner of such Stantec common shares. Stantec common shares that a person has
the right to acquire within 60&nbsp;days of March&nbsp;21, 2005 are deemed outstanding for the purpose of
calculating the percentage ownership of such person, but are not deemed outstanding for the purpose
of calculating the percentage owned by any other person listed. The applicable percentage of
&#147;beneficial ownership&#148; after the merger is based upon 18,937,019 Stantec common shares outstanding
before the merger as of April&nbsp;13, 2005, as adjusted to reflect
approximately 3,898,193 Stantec
common shares to be issued pursuant to the merger.

<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Description Of Stantec Share Capital</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following is a summary description of the share capital of Stantec, which does not purport
to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Stantec.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The authorized share capital of Stantec consists of an unlimited number of preferred shares,
issuable in series, and an unlimited number of common shares of which, as at April&nbsp;13, 2005, no
preferred shares and 18,937,019 common shares have been issued and are outstanding. The material
rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the preferred shares and the common
shares are summarized below.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Preferred Shares</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The preferred shares may be issued in one or more series, each series to consist of such
number of shares and to have such rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions as may, before
the issue thereof, be determined by the board of directors of Stantec. The holders of the
preferred shares as a class are not entitled to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of the
shareholders of Stantec and are not entitled to vote at any such meeting, except to approve
amendments to the terms of the preferred shares as a class or as required by law. Each series of
preferred shares will rank <I>pari passu </I>with each other series of preferred shares with respect to
the entitlement to dividends or distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up of Stantec. The preferred shares as a class rank ahead of the common shares with
respect to entitlement to dividends and distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of Stantec.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The holders of common shares are entitled to receive, as and when declared by the board of
directors of Stantec, dividends in such amount and in such form as the board of directors of
Stantec may from time to time determine. The holders of the common shares are entitled to receive
notice of and to attend all meetings of shareholders of Stantec and have one vote for each common
share held at all such meetings, except for meetings at which only holders of another specified
class or series of shares of Stantec are entitled to vote separately as a class or series. The
common shares rank behind the preferred shares with respect to entitlement to dividends and
distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Stantec.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While the rights and privileges of shareholders of a corporation amalgamated under the CBCA
such as Stantec are, in many instances, comparable to those of shareholders of a California
corporation such as Keith, there are material differences. The following is a summary of the
material differences between the rights of holders of Keith common stock and the rights of holders
of Stantec common shares as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. These differences
arise principally from differences between the CCC and the CBCA and between Keith&#146;s charter and
bylaws and Stantec&#146;s charter and bylaws.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the CCC and the CBCA and the charter and bylaws of Keith and the charter and bylaws of Stantec.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Keith</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Keith&#146;s charter, Keith may issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000
shares of preferred stock. As of April&nbsp;2, 2005, 7,985,085 shares of Keith common stock were
outstanding and no shares of Keith preferred stock were outstanding.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Stantec</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Stantec&#146;s charter, Stantec is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares
and an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series. As
of April&nbsp;13, 2005, 18,937,019
common shares were outstanding and no preferred shares were issued and outstanding. For a
description of the different classes of shares Stantec may issue, see &#147;Description of Stantec Share

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CCC, if a corporation fails to hold an annual meeting for the election of directors
for a period of 60&nbsp;days after the date designated in the corporation&#146;s bylaws or, if no date has
been designated, for a period of 15&nbsp;months after the organization of the corporation or after its
last annual meeting, the superior court of the proper county may order a meeting to be held upon
the application of any shareholder after notice to the corporation giving it an opportunity to be
heard. The shares represented at a meeting called by the superior court either in person or by
proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting constitute a quorum for the purposes of the meeting, even
if the corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation or bylaws provide for a different quorum
requirement. Keith&#146;s bylaws provide that the annual meeting will be held on such date and at such
time as may be fixed by the board of directors.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CBCA, the directors of Stantec must call an annual meeting of shareholders not later
than 15&nbsp;months after the last preceding annual meeting and not later than six months after the end
of Stantec&#146;s preceding financial year. Subject to certain provisions of the CBCA, the holders of
not less than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Stantec that carry the right to vote at
the meeting sought to be held may request that the directors call an annual meeting. If the
directors do not call the meeting within 21&nbsp;days after receiving the requisition, any shareholder
who signed such requisition may call the meeting. The CBCA gives holders a similar right to call a
special meeting of shareholders, as described under the caption &#147;Special Meetings of Shareholders&#148;
below. If for any reason it is impracticable to call a meeting or to conduct a meeting in the
manner in which it is otherwise to be called or as prescribed by Stantec&#146;s bylaws or the CBCA, any
director or shareholder entitled to vote at that meeting may apply to a court for an order calling
the meeting and setting forth the manner to hold and conduct the meeting. The CBCA requires
meetings of shareholders to be held in Canada unless the charter specifies a place outside of
Canada where such meetings may be held. Stantec&#146;s charter does not permit shareholders meetings to
be held outside Canada.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Special Meetings of Shareholders</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Keith</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CCC, special meetings of shareholders may be called by the board of directors, the
chairman of the board, the president or the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than 10% of
the votes at the meeting or such additional persons as may be provided in the articles of
incorporation or bylaws. Neither Keith&#146;s charter nor bylaws permit any additional persons to call
a special meeting.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Stantec</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CBCA, special meetings of shareholders may be called at any time by the board of
directors. Stantec&#146;s bylaws provide that meetings of shareholders may be called by any two
directors upon not less than 21&nbsp;days&#146; notice. In addition, subject to certain provisions of the
CBCA, the holders of not less than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Stantec that carry
the right to vote at the meeting sought to be held may request that the directors call a meeting of
shareholders for any purpose. If the directors do not call the meeting within 21&nbsp;days after
receiving such a requisition, any shareholder who signed the requisition requesting the directors
to call the meeting may call the meeting. The CBCA also requires meetings of shareholders to be
held in Canada, unless the charter specifies a place outside of Canada where such meeting may be
held. Stantec&#146;s charter does not permit shareholders meetings to be held outside Canada.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Quorum of Shareholders</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Keith</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CCC, a quorum consists of a majority of the shares entitled to vote present in
person or represented by proxy, unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, but in no
event will a quorum consist of less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting or
of more than a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. Keith&#146;s charter does not
specify any requirements for a quorum of shareholders and Keith&#146;s bylaws are consistent with the
CCC.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Stantec</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CBCA, unless the corporation&#146;s bylaws otherwise provide, a quorum of shareholders is
present at a meeting of shareholders, irrespective of the number of persons actually present at the
meeting, if the holders of a majority of the shares who are entitled to vote are represented in
person or by proxy at the meeting. Stantec&#146;s bylaws provide that a quorum for a meeting of
shareholders will be at least 2 persons each holding or representing by valid proxy outstanding
fully voting preferred shares or common shares.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CCC, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, any action that may
be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting and
without prior notice if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the
holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be
necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote
thereon were present and voted. However, directors may be elected without a meeting only by
unanimous written consent of all shares entitled to vote for the election of directors; provided
that the shareholders may elect a director to fill a vacancy, other than a vacancy created by
removal, by the written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Stantec</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CBCA, shareholder action may be taken without a meeting of shareholders by written
resolution signed by all shareholders who would be entitled to vote on the matter at a meeting of
shareholders except with respect to a meeting called for the purpose of (1)&nbsp;removing a director or
the auditor from office or (2)&nbsp;electing or appointing a director or auditor following the
resignation, removal or expiry of term of office of the director or auditor where, in either case,
the director or auditor has submitted a written statement giving the reasons why he opposes the
proposed action or resolution. Stantec&#146;s bylaws provide that, except where a written statement is
submitted by a director or auditor under the CBCA, a resolution in writing signed by all
shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution at a shareholders meeting is as valid as if it had
been passed at a shareholders meeting.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Shareholder Nominations and Proposals</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Keith</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Neither the CCC nor Keith&#146;s articles or bylaws contain provisions governing shareholder
nominations of persons for election as directors or shareholder proposals to be considered at an
annual or special meeting. However, pursuant to Rule&nbsp;14a-8 under the Exchange Act, a shareholder
can have its proposal disclosed in a company&#146;s proxy materials and presented to shareholders for a
vote, provided the shareholder follows the procedures and is not substantively excludable under the
SEC&#146;s shareholder proposal rule.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Stantec</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CBCA, shareholder proposals may be submitted only at annual meetings of
shareholders. A shareholder entitled to vote at an annual meeting of shareholders and who holds
(1)&nbsp;at least 1% of the total number of outstanding voting shares of Stantec or (2)&nbsp;shares having a
fair market value of at least C$2,000, may submit to Stantec notice of any matter that the
shareholder proposes to raise at the meeting and discuss at the meeting any matter in respect of
which the person would have been entitled to submit a proposal. Stantec is not required to set out
the proposal in its management proxy circular if, among other things, the proposal is not submitted
to Stantec at least 90&nbsp;days before the anniversary date of the notice sent to shareholders in
connection with Stantec&#146;s previous annual meeting of shareholders. A shareholder proposal may
include nominations for the election of directors if the proposal is signed by the holders of not
less than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares that carry the right to vote at the meeting to
which the proposal is to be presented, but this requirement does not preclude nominations made at a
meeting of shareholders. As a foreign private issuer, Rule&nbsp;14a-8 will not apply to Stantec.

outstanding voting shares of a corporation or who holds at least 1% of those voting shares and has

addresses of the shareholders who are entitled to vote for the election of directors and their
shareholdings. The list shall be made available on or before the later of five business days after
the demand is received or the date specified therein as the date as of which the list is to be
compiled. Any delay by the corporation or the transfer agent in complying with such a shareholder
demand beyond the time limits specified therein will give the shareholder a right to obtain from
the superior court an order postponing any shareholders&#146; meeting previously noticed for a period
equal to the period of such delay. In addition, the record of shareholders shall be open to

shareholders or creditors and their personal representatives may also access Stantec&#146;s securities

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CBCA, any amendment to a corporation&#146;s charter generally requires approval by
special resolution. Generally speaking, such special resolution must be passed by a vote of not
less than two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution or
signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution. In addition, if an amendment
affects certain rights of holders of a particular class or series of shares, the approval of
two-thirds of the outstanding shares of that class or series is required.

provided, however, that after the issuance of shares, a bylaw specifying or changing a fixed number

directors may, by resolution, make, amend or repeal any bylaws that regulate the business or
affairs of the corporation. Where the directors make, amend or repeal a bylaw, they are required
under the CBCA to submit the bylaw, amendment or repeal to the shareholders at the next meeting of
shareholders, and the shareholders may confirm, reject or amend the bylaw, amendment or repeal by
an ordinary resolution. An ordinary resolution is a resolution passed by a majority of the votes
cast by shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution. A bylaw, or an amendment or a repeal
of a bylaw, is effective from the date of the resolution of the directors until it is confirmed,
amended or rejected by the shareholders or until the next meeting of shareholders if the bylaw,
amendment or repeal is not submitted to the shareholders at that time.

votes cast by shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution, each share carrying the right to
vote whether or not it otherwise carries the right to vote. The holders of each class or series of
shares that is affected differently by the transaction from the shares of any other class or series

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Keith</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CCC, a reorganization, which includes a merger, an exchange reorganization and a
sale-of-assets reorganization, must be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to
vote of each class of each corporation the approval of whose board of directors is required.
However, unless provided in the articles or bylaws, no approval of any class of outstanding
preferred shares is required if the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or
imposed upon that class of shares remain unchanged.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Approval of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is not required in the case of any
corporation if that corporation, its shareholders immediately before the reorganization, or both
will own, immediately after the reorganization, equity securities of the surviving or acquiring
corporation possessing more than five-sixths of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring
corporation. A merger must be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote of
the surviving corporation if any amendment is made to its articles of incorporation which would
otherwise require such approval. Furthermore, a merger or sale-of-assets reorganization must be
approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote of any class of a corporation if
holders of shares of that class receive shares of the surviving or acquiring corporation having
different rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions than those surrendered. Finally, if the
terms of a merger or sale-of-assets reorganization provide that a class or series of preferred
shares is to have distributed to it a lesser amount than would be required by the articles of
incorporation, then the reorganization must be approved by the same percentage of outstanding
shares of that class or series which would be required to approve an amendment of the articles of
incorporation to provide for the distribution of that lesser amount.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing, a reorganization must be approved by all shareholders of any
class or series if, as a result of the reorganization, the holders of that class or series become
personally liable for any obligations of a party to the reorganization, unless all holders of that
class or series have dissenters&#146; rights. Moreover, a merger

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CBCA, certain extraordinary corporate actions, such as certain amalgamations,
continuances, and sales, leases or exchanges of all or substantially all the property of a
corporation other than in the ordinary course of business, and other extraordinary corporate
actions such as liquidations, dissolutions and (if not ordered by a court) arrangements, are
required to be approved by special resolution. A special resolution is a resolution passed at a
meeting by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders who voted in respect of
the resolution. In certain cases, a special resolution to approve an extraordinary corporate
action is also required to be approved separately by the holders of a class or series of shares,
including in certain cases a class or series of shares not otherwise carrying voting rights.
Dissent rights, described further below, are applicable to such transactions.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CBCA, a shareholder may, in addition to exercising dissent rights, seek an

oppressive, unfairly prejudicial to or that unfairly disregards a shareholder&#146;s interests.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Keith</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CCC, a corporation may redeem any or all shares which are redeemable at its option
by giving notice of redemption and by payment or deposit of the redemption price. When a
corporation reacquires its own shares, those shares are restored to the status of authorized but
unissued shares, unless the articles of incorporation prohibit them from being reissued. Keith&#146;s
charter does not contain any such prohibition on reissuance.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Stantec</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CBCA, except in certain specified circumstances, a corporation may acquire its own
shares unless there are reasonable grounds for believing that the corporation is or would be, after
payment for such shares, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or if the realizable
value of the corporation&#146;s assets would, as a result of the payment for such shares, be less than
the aggregate of its liabilities and stated capital. Under the CBCA, a corporation that acquires
its own shares must cancel such shares and must deduct from its stated capital account an amount
equal to the stated capital attributable to the repurchased shares.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Number and Qualification of Directors</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Keith</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The CCC provides that the minimum number of directors shall be three, provided that as long as
there is only one shareholder, the minimum number of directors is one. The bylaws shall set forth
the number of directors of the corporation; or that the number of directors shall be not less than
a stated minimum nor more than a stated maximum (unless such provision is contained in the
articles, in which case it may only be changed by an amendment of the articles). Under the CCC, a
corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation may provide for the election of one or more directors by
the holders of the shares of any class or series. Keith&#146;s bylaws provide that the number of
directors will be authorized by resolution of the board of directors or the shareholders, provided
that such number will not be less than five or greater than nine.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Stantec</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The CBCA requires that a corporation whose securities are publicly traded have at least three
directors, at least two of whom are not officers or employees of such corporation or any of its
affiliates. In addition, the CBCA requires that at least 25% of the directors of a corporation be
resident Canadians. Stantec&#146;s bylaws require that at least 50% of the directors be resident
Canadians, provided that if the corporation has less than four directors, at least two must be
resident Canadians.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Stantec&#146;s charter, the minimum number of directors is three and the maximum number of
directors is twenty. Stantec&#146;s bylaws provide that a director&#146;s term of office is from the date of
the meeting at which he is elected until the next annual meeting following the election, provided
that if an election of directors is not held at that meeting, the incumbent directors continue in
office until their successors are elected.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The CCC provides that, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws
and except for a vacancy created by the removal of a director, vacancies on the board of directors
may be filled by approval of the board of directors or, if the number of directors then in office
is less than a quorum, by (1)&nbsp;the unanimous written consent of the directors then in office, (2)
the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office at a meeting, or (3)&nbsp;the sole
remaining director. Unless the articles or a bylaw adopted by the shareholders provide that the
board may fill vacancies occurring in the board by reason of the removal of directors, such
vacancies may be filled only by approval of the shareholders. In addition, shareholders may elect
a director at any time to fill any vacancy not filled by directors. Any such election by written
consent, other than to fill a vacancy created by removal (which requires the unanimous consent of
all shares entitled to vote), requires the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled
to vote. If, after filling any vacancy, the directors then in office constitute less than a
majority of the entire board, then (1)&nbsp;any holders of 5% or more of the outstanding shares having
the right to vote for those directors may call a special meeting of shareholders, or (2)&nbsp;the
superior court may, upon application of shareholders holding at least 5% of the outstanding shares
having the right to vote for these directors, order a special meeting for the election of the
entire board of directors.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Keith&#146;s bylaws provide that vacancies, except those existing as a result of a removal of a
director, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, even though less than a quorum,
or by a sole remaining director, and each director so elected will hold office until the next
annual meeting and until such director&#146;s successor has been elected and qualified. In addition,
shareholders may elect a director at any time to fill any vacancy not filled by directors. Any
such election by written consent, other than to fill a vacancy created by removal, requires the
consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CBCA, a quorum of directors may appoint one or more directors to fill a vacancy
among the directors (except a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number or the minimum or
maximum number of directors or a failure to elect the number or minimum number of directors
provided for in the articles) and any director so appointed will hold office for the unexpired term
of the director&#146;s predecessor in office. Under Stantec&#146;s bylaws, the shareholders may, by ordinary
resolution, fill any vacancy on the board of directors. In the case of a vacancy resulting
otherwise than from an increase in the number or minimum number of directors or from a failure to
elect the number or minimum number of directors required by the articles of incorporation, a quorum
of directors may fill a vacancy by resolution.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CBCA and Stantec&#146;s bylaws, the shareholders of Stantec may by ordinary resolution at

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Keith</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The CCC allows a corporation to include a provision in its articles limiting or eliminating
the liability of directors for monetary damages in an action brought by or in the right of the
corporation for breach of a director&#146;s fiduciary duties to the corporation and its shareholders,
except where such breaches include, but are not limited to, (1)&nbsp;acts or omissions that involve
intentional misconduct or knowing violations of the law, (2)&nbsp;the receipt by the director of an
improper personal benefit, (3)&nbsp;the payment of unlawful dividends, the making of unlawful asset
distributions or the unlawful creation or guarantee of financial obligations and (4)&nbsp;for acts or
omissions that a director believes or should reasonably believe to be contrary to the best
interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the
part of the director. Keith&#146;s charter eliminates the liability of directors for monetary damages to
the fullest extent permitted under the CCC. Keith&#146;s charter permits indemnification of directors
and officers.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The CCC allows a corporation to indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents. Under
the CCC, a corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines,
settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the proceeding
if that person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe the conduct of the person was unlawful. In the context of a derivative action in the name
of or by the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, the corporation may provide
indemnification of expenses only.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CBCA, a corporation may not, by contract, resolution, bylaw or its charter, limit
the liability of its directors for breaches of their fiduciary duties or their duty to act in
accordance with the CBCA. However, the corporation may indemnify a director or officer, a former
director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the corporation&#146;s request as a director or
officer of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to
settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her because of any civil,
criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of
that association with the corporation or the other entity, if:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;that person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of
the corporation; and



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by
a monetary penalty, that person had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct
was lawful.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These individuals are entitled to indemnity from the corporation if the individual was not
judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do
anything that the individual ought to have done and fulfilled the conditions set out in (1)&nbsp;and (2)
above. A corporation, an individual or another entity referred to above may apply to a court for
an order approving an indemnity made pursuant to the CBCA and the court may so order and make any
further order that it sees fit if the individual fulfills the conditions set out in (1)&nbsp;and (2)
above.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stantec&#146;s bylaws provide for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent
authorized by the CBCA. In addition, Stantec&#146;s bylaws permit the indemnification of employees and
agents and give employees and agents who achieve success as a defendant in an action an entitlement
to indemnification. Finally, Stantec&#146;s bylaws provide that the corporation may purchase and
maintain insurance for directors and officers.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The CBCA does not expressly provide for advance payment of an indemnified person&#146;s expenses.
However, such advance payment is permitted provided that the individual must repay the money
received if it does not fulfill the conditions set out in (1)&nbsp;and (2)&nbsp;above.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
the registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is
therefore unenforceable.

contrary to the legal right of a complainant will normally trigger the court&#146;s jurisdiction under
the oppression remedy, the exercise of that jurisdiction does not depend on a finding of a breach
of such legal and equitable rights. Furthermore, the court may order a company to pay the interim
expenses of a complainant seeking an oppression remedy, but the complainant may be held accountable
for such interim costs on final disposition of the complaint, as in the case of a derivative

<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Enforceability of Civil Liabilities</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stantec is a corporation governed by the Canada Business Corporation Act. A substantial
portion of Stantec&#146;s assets and operations are located outside the United States, and some of
Stantec&#146;s directors and officers and the experts named in this proxy statement/prospectus are
residents outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect
service within the United States upon Stantec and those directors, officers and experts, or to
realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil
liability of Stantec and such directors, officers or experts under the United States federal
securities laws. There is uncertainty as to the enforceability in Canada by a court in original
actions, or in actions to enforce judgments of United States courts, of the civil liabilities
predicated upon the United States federal securities laws.

statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an
audit of the Company&#146;s internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of the Company as at December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December&nbsp;31, 2004

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). The effects of differences between the
application of Canadian and United States GAAP on the financial
statements of the Company are described in note&nbsp;21. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant
estimates used in the preparation of these consolidated
financial statements include the percentage of completion of
fixed fee and variable fee with ceiling contracts, provisions
for losses on incomplete contracts, allowances for doubtful
accounts receivable, provision for legal claims, provision for
self-insured liabilities, the fair value of stock-based awards,
the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in
business acquisitions, and future cash flows used to estimate
the fair value of reporting units for goodwill impairment
purposes. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These
financial statements have, in management&#146;s opinion, been
properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and
within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below.
</DIV>

On January&nbsp;1, 2004, the Company adopted the recommendations
of Section&nbsp;1100 of the CICA Handbook, Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. This section establishes standards for
financial reporting in accordance with GAAP. It describes what
constitutes GAAP and its sources and states that an entity
should apply every primary source of GAAP that deals with the
accounting and reporting in financial statements of transactions
or events it encounters. The initial adoption of these
recommendations on a prospective basis on January&nbsp;1, 2004,
did not have an impact on the Company&#146;s financial
statements.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiary companies, all of which are
wholly owned. The results of the operations of subsidiaries

Joint ventures and partnerships are accounted for on the
proportionate consolidation basis, which results in the Company
recording its pro rata share of the assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses of each of these entities.

Investments in associated companies over which the Company is
able to exercise significant influence, but not control, are
accounted for using the equity method, which reflects the
Company&#146;s investment at original cost plus its share of
earnings (losses) net of dividends received. These include
Teshmont Consultants Inc. (50%), SSBV Consultants Inc. (33.3%)
and Planning&nbsp;&#38; Stantec Limited (50%).

Leases that transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits
of ownership of assets to the Company are accounted for as
capital leases. Assets under capital leases are recorded at the
inception of the lease together with the related long-term
obligation to reflect the purchase and financing thereof. Rental
payments under operating leases are expensed as incurred.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
From time to time, the Company enters into or renegotiates
premises operating leases that result in the receipt of lease
inducement benefits. These benefits are accounted for as a
reduction of rental expense over the terms of the associated
leases.
</DIV>

The cost of intangible assets with finite lives is amortized
over the period in which the benefits of such assets are
expected to be realized, principally on a straight-line basis.
The Company&#146;s policy is to amortize client relationships
with determinable lives over periods ranging from 10 to
15&nbsp;years. Contract backlog is amortized over estimated
contractual lives of generally less than one year. Other
intangible assets include technology and non-compete agreements,
which are amortized over estimated lives of one to three years.
Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated annually for
impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit,
determined on a discounted after-tax cash flow basis, to the
carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized if the
carrying value of the goodwill were to exceed its fair value.

The Company monitors the recoverability of long-lived assets,
including property and equipment and intangible assets with
finite lives, using factors such as expected future asset
utilization, business climate and future undiscounted cash flows
expected to result from the use of the related assets. An
impairment loss would be recognized if the carrying value of the
long-lived asset were to exceed its fair value.

The Company self-insures certain risks related to professional
liability. The accrual for self-insured liabilities includes
estimates of the costs of reported claims and is based on
estimates of loss using assumptions made by management,
including consideration of actuarial projections.

The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts to
manage risk associated with net operating assets denominated in
US dollars. The Company&#146;s policy is to not utilize
derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative
purposes. These derivative contracts, which are not accounted
for as hedges, are marked to market, and any changes in the
market value are recorded in income or expense when the changes
occur. The fair value of these instruments is recorded as
accounts receivable or payable.

Non-interest bearing debt is carried at its present value using
discount rates based on the bank prime rate prevailing at the
time the debt was issued. The discount is applied over the term

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings,
bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and
billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings approximate
their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these
instruments. The carrying amount of bank indebtedness
approximates fair value because the applicable interest rate is
based on variable reference rates or is fixed for a short term.
The carrying values of other financial assets and financial
liabilities approximate fair values except as otherwise
disclosed in the financial statements.

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk
consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments held
for self-insured liabilities, accounts receivable, and costs and
estimated earnings in excess of billings. The Company maintains
an allowance for estimated credit losses and mitigates the risk
of its investment in bonds through the overall quality and mix
of its bond portfolio. The Company provides services to diverse
clients in various industries and sectors of the economy, and
its credit risk is not concentrated in any particular client,
industry, economic or geographic sector.

The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that
its credit facilities are based on floating rates of interest.
In addition, the Company is subject to interest rate pricing
risk to the extent that the Company&#146;s investments held for
self-insured liabilities contain fixed rate government and
corporate bonds. The Company has not entered into any derivative
agreements to mitigate these risks.

In the course of providing its services, the Company incurs
certain direct costs for subconsultants and other expenditures
that are recoverable directly from clients. These direct costs
are included in the Company&#146;s gross revenue. Since such
direct costs can vary significantly from contract to contract,
changes in gross revenue may not be indicative of the
Company&#146;s revenue trends. Accordingly, the Company also
reports net revenue, which is gross revenue less subconsultant
and other direct expenses.

Revenue from fixed fee and variable fee with ceiling contracts
is recognized using the percentage of completion method.
Contract revenue is recognized on the ratio of contract costs
incurred to total estimated costs. Provisions for estimated
losses on incomplete contracts are made in the period in which
the losses are determined. Revenue from time and material
contracts without stated ceilings and from short-term projects
is recognized as costs are incurred. Revenue is calculated based
on billing rates for the services performed. Costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings represents work in progress that
has been recognized as revenue but not yet invoiced to clients.
Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings represents
amounts that have been invoiced to clients but not yet
recognized as revenue.

Transactions denominated in a foreign currency and the financial
statements of foreign subsidiaries (excluding US-based
subsidiaries) included in the consolidated financial statements
are translated as follows: monetary items at the rate of
exchange in effect at the balance sheet date; non-monetary items
at historical exchange rates; and revenue and expense items
(except depreciation and amortization, which are translated at
historical exchange rates) at the average exchange rate for the

The Company&#146;s US-based subsidiaries are designated as

The Company has one share option plan, which is described in
note&nbsp;12, and accounts for grants under this plan in
accordance with the fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based compensation. Compensation expense for stock options
awarded under the plan is measured at the fair value at the
grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model and is
recognized over the vesting period of the options granted. In
years prior to January&nbsp;1, 2002, the Company recognized no
compensation expense when shares or stock options were issued.

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the treasury stock
method, which assumes that the cash that would be received on
the exercise of options is applied to purchase shares at the
average price during the year and that the difference between
the shares issued upon the exercise of options and the number of
shares obtainable under this computation, on a weighted average
basis, is added to the number of shares outstanding.
Antidilutive options are not considered in computing diluted
earnings per share.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for
estimated losses resulting from the inability to collect on its
contracts and receivables. The Company uses estimates in
arriving at its allowance for doubtful accounts that are based,
primarily, on the age of the receivable outstanding.

Acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting, and the results of earnings since the respective
dates of acquisition are included in the consolidated statements
of income. The purchase prices of acquisitions are generally
subject to price adjustment clauses included in the purchase
agreements. From time to time, as a result of the timing of
acquisitions in relation to the Company&#146;s reporting
schedule, certain of the purchase price allocations may not be
finalized at the initial time of reporting. In the case of some
acquisitions, additional consideration may be payable based on
future performance parameters. As at December&nbsp;31, 2004, the
maximum contingent consideration that may be payable in 2005 and
future years is approximately $712,000. Such additional
consideration is recorded as additional goodwill in the period
in which confirmation of the consideration to be paid is known.

During 2004, the Company acquired the shares and businesses of
The Sear-Brown Group (April&nbsp;2, 2004), GBR Architects
Limited (May&nbsp;31, 2004), and Dunlop Architects Inc.
(October&nbsp;8, 2004) and the assets and business of Shaflik

the purchase price on the Cosburn Patterson Mather Limited

Mandalian Enterprises Limited (2003), Graeme&nbsp;&#38; Murray
Consultants Ltd. (2002), Ecological Services Group Inc. (2003),
and The RPA Group (2002)&nbsp;acquisitions pursuant to price
adjustment clauses included in the purchase agreements. The
purchase price allocations for the Dunlop Architects Inc. and
GBR Architects Limited acquisitions have not yet been finalized.
Purchase price allocations are completed after the vendors&#146;
final financial statements and income tax returns have been
prepared and accepted by the Company. We expect to finalize
these purchase price allocations during the second quarter of
2005.

The investments held for self-insured liabilities consist of
government and corporate bonds of $8,740,000 and equity
securities of $822,000. The bonds bear interest at rates ranging
from 3.5 to 8.6%&nbsp;per annum. The estimated fair value of the
bonds at December&nbsp;31, 2004, is $8,761,000 and of the
equities is $839,000. The term to maturity of the bond portfolio
is $1,580,000 due within one year and $7,160,000 due from one to
five years. Under US GAAP, these investments would be classified
as investments available for sale and recorded at fair value.

The Company has a revolving credit facility in the amount of
$30&nbsp;million to support general business operations. The
facility matures on July&nbsp;30, 2005, subject to extension by
the parties for a 364-day period. Depending on the form under
which the credit facility is accessed, rates of interest will
vary between Canadian prime, US base rate, LIBOR rate plus

75&nbsp;basis points. At December&nbsp;31, 2004, none of this

construction of the Edmonton office building. Interest,
calculated daily at Canadian prime plus 0.25% (2003&nbsp;&#150;
4.75%), was payable monthly. The loan was supported by a general
security agreement and a second mortgage. It was repaid during

The non-interest bearing note payable is due November&nbsp;1,
2027 in the amount of $933,000. The note&#146;s carrying value
of $111,000 is determined using a discount rate of 9.75%. If the
non-interest bearing note payable were discounted at interest rates in effect at December&nbsp;31,
2004, the fair value of the note would be $124,000
(2003&nbsp;&#150; $124,000).

The carrying values of the other non-interest bearing notes
payable have been calculated using a weighted average rate of
interest of 5.80% and are supported by promissory notes. The
notes are due at various times from 2005 to 2007. The aggregate
maturity value of the notes is $8,336,000 (2003&nbsp;&#150;
$15,132,000). $47,000 (2003&nbsp;&#150; $206,000) of the
notes&#146; carrying value is payable in US&nbsp;funds
(US&nbsp;$39,000; 2003&nbsp;&#150; US&nbsp;$158,000). The
carrying value of these notes approximates their fair value

The bank loan is due in equal quarterly principal payments of
US$1,562,000 (or Canadian-dollar equivalent) plus accrued
interest to October&nbsp;1, 2008, and bears interest at LIBOR or
bankers acceptance rates plus 125 to 165&nbsp;basis points. The
actual rate is dependent upon certain ratio calculations
determined on a quarterly basis. The interest rate applicable at
December&nbsp;31, 2004, was 3.47% (2003&nbsp;&#150; 3.71%).
$21,997,000 (2003&nbsp;&#150; $5,186,000) of the bank loan is
denominated in US dollars (US&nbsp;$18,300,000; 2003&nbsp;&#150;
US&nbsp;$4,000,000). Collateral and restrictive covenants for
the bank loan are described in note&nbsp;7. The Company also
maintains a $17&nbsp;million US dollar denominated acquisition
credit facility, which was unutilized at December&nbsp;31, 2004
and 2003.

Effective August&nbsp;1, 2003, the Company began self-insuring a
portion of its estimated liabilities which may arise in

</I>This provision is based on the results of an actuarial review performed in 2004 with the current and long-term portion
determined based on the actuarial estimate provided. At
December&nbsp;31, 2004, the long-term portion was $4,731,000.

Accrued charges of $0.9&nbsp;million for lease liabilities
arising from downsizing or closing offices in existing
operations were incurred in 2004 with an additional
$3.5&nbsp;million assumed in respect of acquisitions made during
the year. Payments of $1.4&nbsp;million were made in 2004. The
impact of foreign currency changes on this accrual was a
reduction of $0.2&nbsp;million.

In the normal conduct of operations, various legal claims are
pending against the Company alleging, among other things,
breaches of contract or negligence in connection with the
performance of consulting services. The Company carries
professional liability insurance, subject to certain deductibles
and policy limits, and has a captive insurance company that
provides insurance protection against such claims. In some
cases, parties are seeking damages that substantially exceed the
Company&#146;s insurance coverage. Based on advice and
information provided by legal counsel, and the Company&#146;s
previous experience with the settlement of similar claims,
management believes that the Company has recognized adequate
provisions for probable and reasonably estimable liabilities
associated with these claims and that their ultimate resolutions
will not materially exceed insurance coverages or have a
material adverse effect on the Company&#146;s consolidated
financial position or annual results of operations.

During 2004, 29,300 common shares (2003&nbsp;&#150; 74,700) were
repurchased for cancellation pursuant to an ongoing normal
course issuer bid at a cost of $720,000 (2003&nbsp;&#150;
$1,392,000). Of this amount, $134,000 (2003&nbsp;&#150;
$343,000) and $4,000 (2003&nbsp;&#150; $5,000) reduced the share
capital and contributed surplus accounts respectively, with
$582,000 (2003&nbsp;&#150; $1,044,000) being charged to retained
earnings.

During 2004, the Company recognized a stock-based compensation
expense of $1,014,000 (2003&nbsp;&#150; $706,000) in
administrative and marketing expenses. The amount relating to
the fair value of options granted ($725,000; 2003&nbsp;&#150;
$600,000) was reflected through contributed surplus, and the
amount relating to deferred share unit compensation ($289,000;
2003&nbsp;&#150; $106,000) was reflected through accrued
liabilities, $120,000 of which was paid during 2004. Upon the
exercise of share options for which a stock-based compensation
expense has been recognized, the cash paid together with the
related portion of contributed surplus is credited to share
capital.

and have contractual lives that range from five to
10&nbsp;years. The aggregate number of common shares reserved
for issuance that may be purchased upon the exercise of options
granted pursuant to the plan shall not exceed 1,116,073 common
shares. At December&nbsp;31, 2004, 44,740 options are available
for issue.

The fair value of options granted subsequent to January&nbsp;1,
2002, is determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model
was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded
options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock
price volatility. Because the Company&#146;s employee stock
options have characteristics that are significantly different
from those of traded options, and because changes in subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate,
in management&#146;s opinion the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value
of the Company&#146;s employee stock options.

The estimated fair value of options granted, both at the share
market price on the grant date and in excess of the share market
price on the grant date, was determined using the following
weighted average assumptions:

The foreign currency cumulative translation account represents
the unrealized gain or loss on the Company&#146;s net investment
in self-sustaining US based operations. The change in the
cumulative translation account during the year relates to the
fluctuation in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the
US dollar. Balance sheet accounts denominated in US dollars have
been translated to Canadian dollars at the rate of 1.2020
(2003&nbsp;&#150; 1.2965; 2002&nbsp;&#150; 1.5776).

The Company provides comprehensive professional services in the
area of infrastructure and facilities throughout North America
and internationally. The Company considers the basis on which it
is organized, including geographic areas and service offerings,
in identifying its reportable segments. Operating segments of
the Company are defined as components of the Company for which
separate financial information is available that is evaluated
regularly by the chief operating decision maker in allocating
resources and assessing performance. The chief operating
decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)&nbsp;of the
Company.

During 2003, the Company had seven operating segments, of which
five were aggregated into the Consulting Services reportable
segment. The two remaining operating segments (Design Build and
Technology), which were below the quantitative thresholds in the
recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered
Accountants, were disclosed in the Other reportable segment. In
addition to the above-noted operating segments, corporate
administration groups reported to the CEO and were included in
the Other reportable segment. In the second quarter of 2004, an
additional operating segment was added upon the acquisition of
The Sear-Brown Group, Inc. This new segment has been aggregated
into the Consulting Services reportable segment.

The Design Build operating segment consisted of the operations
of the Company&#146;s 50% share of Lockerbie Stanley Inc. that,
at December&nbsp;31, 2003, was reflected as assets held for sale
pending the finalization of an agreement to sell the
Company&#146;s interest. The sale was completed in 2004. In
addition, during 2004, the Company sold the operations related
to its Technology segment. Operations sold during the year have
not been presented as discontinued operations, because the
amounts are not material.

Effective 2004, because the operations that comprised the
Company&#146;s Design Build and Technology segments were sold
and because the Company&#146;s corporate administration groups
are not material, all operations of the Company are included in
one reportable segment as Consulting Services.

At December&nbsp;31, 2004, the Company had entered into foreign
currency forward contracts that are not accounted for as hedges.
These arrangements provided for the sale of US$10.0&nbsp;million
at rates ranging from 1.2050 to 1.2386&nbsp;per US&nbsp;dollar.
The fair values of these contracts, estimated using market rates
at December&nbsp;31, 2004, are $229,000 (2003&nbsp;&#150; nil).
During the year, net unrealized gains of $229,000
(2003&nbsp;&#150; nil) relating to derivative financial
instruments were recorded in foreign exchanges

Subsequent to the year-end, the Company entered into an
agreement to acquire the shares and business of The Keith
Companies, Inc. for a combination of cash consideration and
Stantec common shares. This transaction is subject to customary
conditions, including approval by The Keith Companies, Inc.
shareholders. In conjunction with the transaction, the Company
has applied to become a US Securities and Exchange Commission
registrant and to have the Company&#146;s common shares listed
on the New York Stock Exchange, in addition to the existing
Toronto Stock Exchange listing. The estimated total
consideration, excluding transaction costs, is expected to be
comprised of approximately 3.9&nbsp;million common shares valued
at US$91.5&nbsp;million and cash consideration of approximately
US$90.4&nbsp;million. The estimated cash consideration will be
financed through the utilization of the Company&#146;s existing
cash and available credit facilities as well as the use of part
of The Keith Companies, Inc. cash. The portion of The Keith
Companies, Inc. cash that can be used to finance the transaction
is subject to restrictions outlined in the merger agreement.
These restrictions may require the Company to continue to hold a
portion of The Keith Companies, Inc. cash and to obtain
additional credit to finance the cash holdings. The transaction
is expected to close during the third quarter of 2005.

Comprehensive income is measured in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;130, &#147;Reporting
Comprehensive Income&#148; (SFAS&nbsp;130). This standard
defines comprehensive income as all changes in equity other than
those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to
owners and includes adjustments arising on the translation of
the self-sustaining foreign operations. Canadian GAAP does not
yet require similar disclosure.

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants has issued three

<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in
Canadian dollars and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, based on the historical
financial statements of Stantec and Keith, as at and for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004, adjusted
to give effect to the acquisition of Keith by Stantec.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared to
illustrate the estimated effects of the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition as if the acquisition had occurred as of December&nbsp;31,
2004. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2004 gives effect to the acquisition as if the acquisition had occurred as of January
1, 2004. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro
forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management of
Stantec believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements do not purport to represent Stantec&#146;s results of operations or financial condition for
any future period or as of any date. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with Stantec&#146;s consolidated financial statements and
&#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#148; which are
included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method. Under the purchase method,
the total purchase price will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of
Keith based upon their respective fair values as of the closing of the acquisition based on
valuations which are not yet available. A preliminary allocation of the purchase price has been
made to the major categories of assets and liabilities in the accompanying unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated financial information based on estimates. The actual allocation of purchase
price and the resulting effect on income from continuing operations may differ materially from the unaudited
pro forma amounts included herein.

<TD>On April&nbsp;14, 2005, Stantec Inc. and The Keith Companies, Inc. entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger, which is referred to as the merger agreement, under which Stantec is to
acquire all of the outstanding shares of Keith common stock. This acquisition is to be
accounted for as a purchase by Stantec. Pursuant to the merger agreement, a Keith shareholder
will be entitled to receive for each share of Keith common stock a) US$11.00 in cash; b) 0.23
Stantec common stock; and c) US$5.50 worth of Stantec common stock to be calculated by
dividing US$5.50 by the simple average of the weighted average sales price of the Stantec
common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX)&nbsp;for each of the 20 trading days ending on the
second trading day prior to the closing of the merger, converted to US dollars for each
trading day at the noon buying rate quoted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on such
trading day. At the date of merger, all of Keith&#146;s stock options will be cancelled with no
further rights. Prior to closing, Keith will offer to purchase all unvested stock options.
All unvested restricted stock issued under the Keith stock option plan will be substituted
with 0.23 common shares of Stantec common shares and that number of shares of Stantec common
shares equal to US$16.50 divided by the average 20-day trading price of Stantec common stock
ending on the second trading day prior to the closing of the merger, converted to US dollars
for each trading day at the noon buying rate quoted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on
such trading day. These Stantec common shares exchanged for the unvested Keith restricted
stock will be subject to similar restrictions to that which the unvested restricted stock are
currently subject.</TD>

<TD>As of December&nbsp;31, 2004, there were 7,920,903 shares of Keith common stock outstanding. Prior
to the acquisition, Keith will offer to purchase all unvested Keith stock options for a cash
payment equal to US$16.50 plus the cash value of 0.23 Stantec common shares, based on the
average trading price prior to the acquisition, less the exercise price of the options. It is
anticipated that prior to the effective date of the acquisition, outstanding vested Keith
stock options will be exercised with a portion of the stock options being surrendered in lieu
of a cash payment for the exercise price. This will result in estimated Keith common stock
outstanding at the acquisition date of 8,215,239. In addition, it is anticipated that 89,333
unvested Keith restricted common stock will be exchanged for Stantec shares which will be
subject to similar restrictions to that which the Keith restricted stock are currently
subject.</TD>

<TD>As described in note 1, a portion of the purchase price consideration will be based on the
average sales price of the Stantec common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX)&nbsp;for each
of the 20 trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the closing of the merger,
converted in US dollars for each trading day at the noon buying rate quoted by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York on such trading day. The estimated Stantec share price and US dollar
exchange rate used in these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements in
determining the number of shares is $28.84 and 1.2290, respectively using a notional merger
date of April&nbsp;26, 2005.</TD>

preliminary estimate of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Keith as of December

based on the fair value of assets acquired, including the fair value

Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since they are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules. These disclosure schedules contain potential non-public information. Moreover, inform

such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor
the Merger Consideration, and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled

weighted average sales price for each trading day shall be converted from Canadian dollars to U.S.
dollars at the noon buying rate quoted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on such trading
day). As promptly as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid
to holders of fractional share interests, the Exchange Agent shall so notify Parent, and Parent
shall deposit such amount with the Exchange Agent and shall cause the Exchange Agent to forward
payments to such holders of fractional share interests subject to and in accordance with the terms

any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or Company Common
Stock), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent

undistributed to the holders of the Company Common Stock for twelve months after the Effective Time

Parent nor Merger Sub nor any material property or asset of Parent or Merger Sub is subject to any
continuing order of, consent decree, settlement agreement or other similar written agreement with, or
continuing investigation by, any Governmental Authority that would, individually or in the

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SECTION 4.10. <U>Stockholder Vote</U>. The sole stockholder of Merger Sub has approved this
Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions. No vote of the stockholders of Parent is

Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions.

authority or agency is now asserting or threatening to assert against Parent or any subsidiary any
deficiency or claim for any Taxes or interest thereon or penalties in connection therewith.
Neither Parent nor any subsidiary has granted any waiver of any statute of limitations with respect
to, or any extension of a period for the assessment of, any Tax. The accruals and reserves for
Taxes reflected in the Parent 2004 Balance Sheet are adequate to cover all Taxes accruable through
such date (including interest and penalties, if any, thereon) in accordance with Canadian GAAP.
There are no Tax liens upon any property or assets of Parent or any of the subsidiaries except
liens for current Taxes not yet delinquent. Neither Parent nor any of its affiliates has taken or
agreed to take any action that would prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within
the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Parent is not aware of any agreement, plan or other
circumstance that would prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning
of Section 368(a) of the Code. Neither Parent nor any of its subsidiaries has been required to
include in income any adjustment by reason of a voluntary change in accounting method initiated by
Parent or any of its subsidiaries, and the Canada Revenue Agency has not initiated or proposed any
such adjustment or change in accounting method, in either case, which adjustment or change would
have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other
conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so
long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner
materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is
invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith
to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible
in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally
contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

supersede, except as set forth in Sections&nbsp;6.03(b), all prior agreements and undertakings, both
written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or
otherwise), except that Parent and Merger Sub may assign all or any of their rights and obligations
hereunder to any affiliate of Parent, <U>provided</U> that no such assignment shall relieve the
assigning party of its obligations hereunder if such assignee does not perform such obligations.

performed in that State (other than those provisions set forth herein that are required to be
governed by the CCC). All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement
shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York state or federal court. The parties
hereto hereby (a)&nbsp;submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court for
the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto,
and (b)&nbsp;irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any

AFFILIATES OF THE COMPANY



<P align="right" style="font-size: 10pt">April&nbsp;14, 2005



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Stantec Inc.<BR>
10160 &#150; 112 Street<BR>
Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2L6<BR>
Canada



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ladies and Gentlemen:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have been advised that as of the date of this letter I may be deemed to be an &#147;affiliate&#148; of
The Keith Companies, Inc., (the &#147;<U>Company</U>&#148;), as the term &#147;affiliate&#148; is defined for purposes
of paragraphs (c)&nbsp;and (d)&nbsp;of Rule&nbsp;145 of the rules and regulations (the &#147;<U>Rules and
Regulations</U>&#148;) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;<U>Commission</U>&#148;) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;<U>Act</U>&#148;). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and
Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of April&nbsp;14, 2005 (the &#147;<U>Merger Agreement</U>&#148;),
among Stantec Inc., a Canadian corporation (&#147;<U>Parent</U>&#148;), Stantec Consulting California Inc. a
California corporation (&#147;<U>Merger Sub</U>&#148;), and the Company, the Company will be merged with and
into Merger Sub (the &#147;<U>Merger</U>&#148;). Capitalized terms used in this letter agreement without
definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result of the Merger, I may receive shares of common stock, without par value, of Parent
(the &#147;<U>Parent Shares</U>&#148;). I would receive such Parent Shares in exchange for shares (or upon
exercise of options for shares) owned by me of common stock, par value US$&nbsp;&nbsp;per share, of the
Company (the &#147;<U>Company Shares</U>&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I represent, warrant and covenant to Parent that in the event I receive any Parent Shares as a
result of the Merger:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. I shall not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Parent Shares in
violation of the Act or the Rules and Regulations.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. I have carefully read this letter and the Merger Agreement and discussed the
requirements of such documents and other applicable limitations upon my ability to sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of the Parent Shares, to the extent I felt necessary, with my
counsel or counsel for the Company.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. I have been advised that the issuance of the Parent Shares to me pursuant to the
Merger has been registered with the Commission under the Act on a Registration Statement on
Form F-4. However, I have also been advised that, because at the time the Merger is
submitted for a vote of the shareholders of the Company, (a)&nbsp;I may be deemed to be an
affiliate of the Company and (b)&nbsp;the distribution by me of the Parent Shares has not been
registered under the Act, I may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Parent Shares
issued to me in the Merger unless (i)&nbsp;such sale, transfer or other disposition

<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;

<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">is made in conformity with the volume and other limitations of Rule&nbsp;145 promulgated by
the Commission under the Act, (ii)&nbsp;such sale, transfer or other disposition has been
registered under the Act or (iii)&nbsp;in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Parent,
such sale, transfer or other disposition is otherwise exempt from registration under the
Act.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. I understand that Parent is under no obligation to register the sale, transfer or
other disposition of the Parent Shares by me or on my behalf under the Act or, except as
provided in paragraph 2(A) below, to take any other action necessary in order to make
compliance with an exemption from such registration available.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. I understand that there will be placed on the certificates for the Parent Shares
issued to me, or any substitutions therefor, a legend stating in substance:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION TO
WHICH RULE 145 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 APPLIES. THE SHARES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS
OF AN AGREEMENT DATED APRIL 14, 2005 BETWEEN THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF AND
PARENT, A COPY OF WHICH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF PARENT.&#148;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F. I understand that unless a sale or transfer is made in conformity with the
provisions of Rule&nbsp;145, or pursuant to a registration statement, Parent reserves the right
to put the following legend on the certificates issued to my transferee:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND WERE ACQUIRED FROM A PERSON WHO RECEIVED SUCH SHARES IN A
TRANSACTION TO WHICH RULE 145 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 APPLIES.
THE SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE HOLDER NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR FOR RESALE IN
CONNECTION WITH, ANY DISTRIBUTION THEREOF WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE
WITH AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.&#148;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G. Execution of this letter should not be considered an admission on my part that I am
an &#147;affiliate&#148; of the Company as described in the first paragraph of this letter, nor as a
waiver of any rights I may have to object to any claim that I am such an affiliate on or
after the date of this letter.

<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>AMENDMENT AGREEMENT</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AMENDMENT (this &#147;<U>Amendment</U>&#148;), dated as of May&nbsp;9, 2005, to the Agreement And Plan Of
Merger And Reorganization (the &#147;<U>Agreement</U>&#148;), dated as of April&nbsp;14, 2005, among Stantec
Inc., a Canadian corporation (&#147;<U>Parent</U>&#148;), Stantec Consulting California Inc., a California
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (&#147;<U>Merger Sub</U>&#148;), and The Keith
Companies, Inc., a California corporation (the &#147;<U>Company</U>&#148;). Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement (as defined below).


<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>WITNESSETH:</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, the parties have entered into the Agreement;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, Parent and the Company will enter into a business
combination transaction pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with Section&nbsp;8.04 of the Agreement, the parties wish to
amend the Agreement as set forth in this Amendment;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the rights and obligations contained herein, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as
follows:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1. Amendment to Section&nbsp;2.7(a) of the Agreement. Section&nbsp;2.07(a) of the Agreement is
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time which qualify as &#147;dissenting shares&#148; in
accordance with Chapter&nbsp;13 of the CCC and are held by stockholders who have duly demanded, exercised
and perfected (and not withdrawn or forfeited) such stockholders&#146;dissenters&#146; rights for such Shares
in accordance with the CCC (collectively, the &#147;<U>Dissenting Shares</U>&#148;) shall not be converted
into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Such stockholders shall be
entitled to receive payment for such Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of the
CCC, except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or
take such other actions as are required by the CCC or who effectively shall have withdrawn or
forfeited their dissenters&#146; rights with respect to such Shares under the CCC shall thereupon be
deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time,
the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the
manner provided in Section&nbsp;2.02, of the certificates that formerly evidenced such Shares.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;2. <U>Entire Agreement</U>. This Amendment constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and
undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">matter hereof. Except as amended by this Amendment, the Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;3. <U>Severability</U>. If any term or other provision of this Amendment is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions
of this Amendment shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or
legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment is not affected in any manner
materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is
invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith
to modify this Amendment so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible
in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Amendment are
consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;4. <U>Counterparts</U>. This Amendment may be executed and delivered (including by
facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;5. <U>Governing Law</U>. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be

We understand that The Keith Companies,&nbsp;Inc. (the

and Stantec Consulting California&nbsp;Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Stantec (&#147;Merger Sub&#148;), propose to enter
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization to be
dated April&nbsp;14, 2005 (the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;),
pursuant to which the Company will merge into Merger Sub (the
&#147;Merger&#148;) and each share of the Company&#146;s common
stock, par value $0.001 per share (the &#147;Company Common
Stock&#148;), other than each share of Company Common Stock held
in the treasury of the Company, each share of Company Common
Stock owned by Stantec, Merger Sub, or any direct or indirect
wholly owned subsidiaries of Stantec or the Company, and any
dissenting shares will be converted into the right to receive
(i)&nbsp;$11.00 in cash, (ii)&nbsp;0.23 shares of Stantec&#146;s
common stock, without par value (the &#147;Stantec Common
Stock&#148;), and (iii)&nbsp;an additional number of shares of
Stantec Common Stock equal to $5.50 in value, based on the
simple average of the US&nbsp;dollar value of the daily weighted
average sales price of Stantec Common Stock for the
20&nbsp;consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the
second trading day prior to the consummation of the Merger
(collectively, the &#147;Merger Consideration&#148;). The
shareholders of the Company will further be able to make an
election to receive the Merger Consideration in either cash or
shares of Stantec Common Stock, subject to proration, as more
fully described in the Merger Agreement. You have provided us
with a copy of the Merger Agreement in substantially final form.

    <U>Miscellaneous</U>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
    contained herein, no action of a Stockholder in his, her or its
    capacity as a director or executive officer of the Company shall
    constitute a breach of this Agreement. Except as otherwise
    provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection
    with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
    shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses,
    whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
    consummated; all notices, requests, claims, demands and other
    communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given

    certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to
    the respective parties at their addresses as specified on the
    signature page(s) of this Agreement; if any term or other
    provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of
    being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other
    conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless

    or otherwise), except that Parent may assign all or any of its
    rights and obligations hereunder to any affiliate of Parent,
    <U>provided</U>, <U>however</U>, that no such assignment shall
    relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder if such
    assignee does not perform such obligations; this Agreement shall
    be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party
    hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
    intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right,
    benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of
    this Agreement; the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage
    would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not
    performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the
    parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms
    hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity;
    this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
    with, the laws of the State of California applicable to
    contracts executed in and to be performed in that State; this
    Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile
    transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different
    parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when
    executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
    taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement; from
    time to time, at the request of Parent, in the case of any
    Stockholder, or at the request of the Stockholders, in the case
    of Parent and Purchaser, and without further consideration, each
    party shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
    delivered such additional documents and instruments and take all
    such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable
    to give effect to the rights, duties and obligations of the

demands that the corporation purchase and shall contain a
statement of what such shareholder claims to be the fair market
value of those shares as of the day before the announcement of

the date on which notice of the approval by the outstanding

dissenting shares or both or may intervene in any action pending
on such a complaint.

(c)&nbsp;On the trial of the action, the court shall determine
the issues. If the status of the shares as dissenting shares is
in issue, the court shall first determine that issue. If the
fair market value of the dissenting shares is in issue, the
court shall determine, or shall appoint one or more impartial
appraisers to determine, the fair market value of the shares.

majority of them, shall make and file a report in the office of

(b)&nbsp;If a majority of the appraisers appointed fail to make

(c)&nbsp;Subject to the provisions of Section&nbsp;1306,
judgment shall be rendered against the corporation for payment
of an amount equal to the fair market value of each dissenting

dissenting shareholder who is a party, or who has intervened, is
entitled to require the corporation to purchase, with interest

(d)&nbsp;Any such judgment shall be payable forthwith with

to the corporation of the certificates for the shares described
in the judgment. Any party may appeal from the judgment.

(e)&nbsp;The costs of the action, including reasonable
compensation to the appraisers to be fixed by the court, shall
be assessed or apportioned as the court considers equitable,
but, if the appraisal exceeds the price offered by the
corporation, the corporation shall pay the costs (including in
the discretion of the court attorneys&#146; fees, fees of expert
witnesses and interest at the legal rate on judgments from the
date of compliance with Sections&nbsp;1300, 1301 and 1302 if the

1306. To the extent that the provisions of Chapter&nbsp;5
prevent the payment to any holders of dissenting shares of their
fair market value, they shall become creditors of the
corporation for the amount thereof together with interest at the
legal rate on judgments until the date of payment, but
subordinate to all other creditors in any liquidation
proceeding, such debt to be payable when permissible under the
provisions of Chapter&nbsp;5.

1307. Cash dividends declared and paid by the corporation upon
the dissenting shares after the date of approval of the

prior to payment for the shares by the corporation shall be
credited against the total amount to be paid by the corporation
therefor.

1308. Except as expressly limited in this chapter, holders of

may not withdraw a demand for payment unless the corporation
consents thereto.

action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds
for believing that the individual&#146;s conduct was lawful. The individual shall repay any moneys
advanced to him or her if he or she does not fulfill the above conditions. Such indemnification
and advances may be made in connection with a derivative action only with court approval. Such
individual is entitled to indemnification or advances from the corporation as a matter of right in
respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defence of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which he is
subject by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or another
entity as described above if the individual was not judged by the court or other competent
authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have
done and if the individual fulfils the conditions set forth above.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bylaws of Stantec Inc. (the &#147;Registrant&#148;) provide that, subject to the CBCA, the
Registrant shall indemnify a director or officer of the Registrant, a former director or officer of
the Registrant, or another individual who acts or acted at the Registrant&#146;s request as a director
or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity against all costs,
charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment,
reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association
with the Registrant or other entity if: (a)&nbsp;the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a
view to the best interests of the Registrant or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the
other entity for with the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the
Registrant&#146;s request; and (b)&nbsp;in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that
is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that his or
her conduct was lawful. The Registrant shall advance the necessary moneys to a director, officer
or other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to previously.
The individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the previously named

conditions. The Registrant shall also indemnify such person in such other circumstances as the
CBCA permits or requires.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant maintains directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance which insures the
directors and officers of the Registrant and its subsidiaries against certain losses resulting from
any wrongful act committed in their official capacities for which they become obligated to pay to
the extent permitted by applicable law.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
the Registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is
therefore unenforceable.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The exhibits listed in the exhibits index, appearing elsewhere in this registration statement,
have been filed as part of this registration statement.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>ITEM 22. Undertakings</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering
of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this
registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the
meaning of Rule&nbsp;145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the
information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons
who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other Items of the
applicable form.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i)&nbsp;that is filed pursuant to the paragraph
immediately preceding, or (ii)&nbsp;that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule
415, will be filed as part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until
such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (i)&nbsp;to respond to requests for information that
is incorporated by reference into the proxy statement/prospectus pursuant to Item&nbsp;4, 10(b), 11, or
13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated
documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means; and (ii)&nbsp;to arrange or provide for a
facility in the U.S. for the purpose of responding to such requests. The undertaking in
subparagraph (i)&nbsp;above includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the
effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all
information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not
the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

      3.2.3 Ranking

            No rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions attached to a
            series of Preferred Shares shall confer upon the shares of such
            series a priority over shares of any other series of Preferred
            Shares with respect to the payment of dividends or the return of
            capital in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
            of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any
            distribution of the assets or return of capital of the Corporation
            among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs.
            The Preferred Shares shall rank senior to the Common Shares with
            respect to entitlement to dividends. The Preferred Shares shall rank
            senior to all other classes of shares with respect to a distribution
            of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
            of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other
            distribution of the assets of the Corporation among its shareholders
            for the purpose of winding-up its affairs. If any amount of
            cumulative dividends, whether or not declared, or declared
            non-cumulative dividends or any amount payable on a return of
            capital in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
            of the Corporation in respect of the shares of a series of Preferred
            Shares is not paid in full, the shares of such series shall
            participate rateably with the shares of all other series of
            Preferred Shares in respect of all accumulated cumulative dividends,
            whether or not declared, and all declared non-cumulative dividends
            or all amounts payable on a return of capital in the event of the
            liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation; provided,
            however, that in the event of there being insufficient assets to
            satisfy in full all such claims as aforesaid, the claims of the
            holders of the Preferred Shares with respect to repayment of capital
            shall first be paid and satisfied and any assets remaining
            thereafter shall be applied towards the payment and satisfaction of
            claims in respect of dividends. The Preferred Shares of any series
            may also be given such other preferences not inconsistent with this
            section 3.2.3 over any shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares
            as may be determined by the terms of such series of Preferred
            Shares.

      3.2.4 Voting Rights

            Except as hereinafter referred to or as required by law or in
            accordance with any voting rights which may from time to time be
            attached to any series of Preferred Shares, the holders of the
            Preferred Shares as a class shall not be entitled as such to receive
            notice of, to attend or to vote at any meeting of the shareholders
            of the Corporation.

      3.2.5 Amendment with Approval of Holders of Preferred Shares

            The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the

                                   ("STANTEC")

                                     - and -

<PAGE>

3.2   TERMINATION BY EITHER THE EXECUTIVE OR STANTEC WITHOUT CAUSE

      Subject to the provisions of this Agreement:

      a)    the Executive may terminate his services under this Agreement by
            giving no less than three (3) months notice in writing to STANTEC
            (the "Notice Period"), in which case the Executive shall be paid
            only the Base Salary actually earned by the Executive to the date of
            termination, provided that the Executive's full-time services
            continue to be provided to STANTEC during the Notice Period on the
            same terms and conditions as preceded the notice of termination,
            provided further that the Executive shall not be entitled to any
            bonus which has not been paid prior to the commencement of the
            Notice Period; and

      b)    at any time prior to the Executive's sixty-fifth birthday, STANTEC
            may terminate this Agreement and the services of the Executive
            hereunder without notice upon payment to the Executive of the Base
            Salary actually earned by the Executive to the date of termination
            together with a Termination Bonus and a One Year Compensation
            Payment calculated in accordance with Schedule "A" attached hereto.

3.3   TERMINATION ON DEATH OF THE EXECUTIVE

      The employment of the Executive shall be automatically terminated on the
      death of the Executive whereupon STANTEC shall cause to be paid to the
      executor of his estate the Base Salary actually earned by the Executive to
      the date of death and a Termination Bonus calculated in accordance with
      Schedule "A" attached hereto.

3.4   TERMINATION ON PERMANENT INCAPACITY OF THE EXECUTIVE

      The employment of the Executive shall be terminated if the Executive is

      incapacity, or otherwise, to perform his services hereunder for a period
      of 180 days (whether or not consecutive) during any 12 month period,
      whereupon STANTEC shall cause to be paid the Base Salary actually earned
      by the Executive to the date of termination and a Termination Bonus
      calculated in accordance with Schedule "A" attached hereto. Nothing
      herein, however, shall disentitle the Executive from any rights or
      entitlements to which the Executive may be entitled pursuant to the
      company benefits programs in the event that such permanent incapacity
      occurs.

3.5   TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE BY REASON OF CHANGE OF CONTROL OF STANTEC INC.

      a)    In this Agreement, a change of control is deemed to have taken place
            if any one of the following occur after the date hereof:

            (i)   a third person, including a person, firm, syndicate, group or
                  corporation, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or
                  indirectly, of shares of Stantec Inc. carrying more than 50%
                  of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election
                  of directors of Stantec Inc.; or

            (ii)  a third person, including a person, firm, syndicate, group or
                  corporation, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or
                  indirectly, of shares of Stantec Inc. carrying more than 30%
                  of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election
                  of directors of Stantec Inc. and when nominees of the said 30%
                  holder are elected as a majority of the Stantec Inc. Board of
                  Directors.

                                                                    Page 3 of 10

<PAGE>

      b)    If during the term of this Agreement, there occurs a change of
            control of Stantec Inc., the Executive shall, in his sole discretion
            and at any time within the six (6) month period immediately
            following the date of such change of control, be entitled to
            terminate this Agreement. Upon the termination of this Agreement
            pursuant to this paragraph, STANTEC shall cause to be paid to the
            Executive in full and final satisfaction of all of its obligations
            to the Executive the Base Salary actually earned by the Executive to
            the date of termination together with a Termination Bonus and a One
            Year Compensation Payment calculated in accordance with Schedule "A"
            attached hereto..

3.6   TERMINATION AT AGE SIXTY FIVE

      This Agreement shall terminate on the Executive's sixty-fifth birthday
      without further notice or compensation other than the Base Salary actually
      earned by the Executive to the date of termination.

4.    THE EXECUTIVE'S OBLIGATIONS

4.1   CONFIDENTIALITY

      The Executive shall treat all information obtained during the Executive's
      employment with STANTEC as confidential (the "Confidential Information").
      The Executive shall not use the Confidential Information in any manner
      detrimental to the interests of STANTEC nor shall the Executive disclose
      the Confidential Information to any party except in the interests of
      STANTEC.

4.2   NON-COMPETITION

      The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the performance of his
      duties he will necessarily acquire detailed knowledge of the business and
      affairs of STANTEC and that STANTEC will suffer harm in the event that
      such confidential information is disclosed to its competitors or in the
      event that the Executive uses such confidential information for any
      purpose other than the performance of his duties as an employee of
      STANTEC. Therefore, the Executive covenants and agrees that for a period
      of two (2) years following termination of the Executive's employment with
      STANTEC under this Agreement, he will not directly or indirectly as an
      owner, employee, servant, consultant, contractor, agent or otherwise,
      engage in business or otherwise provide services in competition with
      STANTEC in the Province of Ontario,.

      The foregoing restrictions also apply to other geographic areas, including
      international areas, for work in the following categories:

      a)    work being done or started by STANTEC or any of its affiliated or
            subsidiary companies;

      b)    work for which a previous report or proposal has been prepared or
            submitted by STANTEC or any of its affiliated or subsidiary
            companies within two (2) years prior to the termination of this
            Agreement; and

      c)    work for which promotional efforts by STANTEC or any of its
            affiliated or subsidiary companies, or any one in their employ, had
            occurred during the period of two (2) years prior to the termination
            of this Agreement.

                                                                    Page 4 of 10

<PAGE>

      The Executive has read and understood the provisions of this Section 4.2,
      agrees with the restrictions set forth herein and agrees that the time
      period and geographic location restrictions are fair, reasonable and
      legitimately necessary for the protection of STANTEC's interests. In the
      event a Court of competent jurisdiction declares the time period or
      geographic location restrictions to be unreasonable, the Executive and
      STANTEC covenant and agree that the time period restriction shall be
      reduced to one (1) year and the geographic location restriction be limited
      to areas within 500 km of Kitchener, Ontario. In the further event that a
      court of competent jurisdiction declares the reduced time period or
      geographic location restrictions to be unreasonable, the Executive and
      STANTEC covenant and agree that the time period restriction shall be
      further reduced to six (6) months and the geographic location restriction
      be further limited to areas within 250 km of Kitchener, Ontario.

4.3   CHANGE OF GEOGRAPHIC AREA

      The Executive covenants and agrees that in the event the Executive is at
      some later date responsible for a different geographic area, Section 4.2
      remains in full force and effect and shall be deemed to apply to the new
      area in the same manner and to the same extent as if the new geographic
      area had been identified as the geographic area in Section 4.2 hereof.

4.4   NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES AND CLIENTS

      The Executive acknowledges and agrees that during the continuance of his
      employment and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, he will not, for
      his own private advantage, or for the advantage of any third party:

      a)    hire any employee of STANTEC or its affiliates or subsidiaries, or
            induce or attempt to induce any employee of STANTEC or its
            affiliates or subsidiaries to leave their employment with STANTEC;
            nor

      b)    contact, solicit, sell, serve, divert or receive any business to or
            from any of the clients of STANTEC or its affiliates or
            subsidiaries.

4.5   EXCEPTION FOR TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE

      In the event of the termination of this Agreement by STANTEC without
      cause, the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.4 shall be limited to one (1)
      year (or such lesser period if applicable, as set out in Section 4.2
      above).

4.6   STANTEC INFORMATION

      All notes, records, working papers, files, research material, literature,
      drawings, computer software and other proprietary information ("STANTEC's
      Information") accumulated or developed by the Executive in connection with
      his assignments at STANTEC and any technological concepts or devices
      resulting therefrom, whether patentable or otherwise, are considered the
      property of STANTEC and the Executive may not copy, secure, transmit,
      keep, store, gain from, sell or use STANTEC's Information or property for
      any purposes other than in undertaking assignments at STANTEC. To the
      extent necessary, the Executive covenants and agrees to execute and
      deliver to STANTEC, or such of its subsidiaries or affiliates as STANTEC
      directs, such documents or instruments as may be necessary to assign any
      of the rights or interests described in this section that are developed by
      the Executive.

                                                                    Page 5 of 10

4.7   STANTEC POLICIES

      The Executive agrees to comply with all policies and practices established
      by STANTEC and communicated to the Executive from time to time. In the

nature and/or by virtue of the Executive's profession.

BONUS

STANTEC may, in its sole discretion, pay the Executive a bonus from time to

            of the fiscal year two years prior to the year in which termination
            occurs; plus

      (b)   the amount determined in paragraph (a) above pro rated for that
            portion of the year which has elapsed from the last fiscal year end
            to the date of termination.

      annual bonus plan for the fiscal year prior to the year in which
      termination occurs, a bonus equal to the bonus, if

                                                                    Page 9 of 10

      any, paid to the Executive in respect of the fiscal year prior to the year

      has elapsed from the last fiscal year end to the date of termination.

ONE YEAR COMPENSATION PAYMENT

Where the Executive is entitled to a One Year Compensation Payment as a result
of the operation of Sections 3.2(b) or 3.5, the One Year Compensation Payment
shall be calculated as the sum of:

1.    Twenty-six times the Executive's bi-weekly Base Salary at the time of
      termination; plus

2.    an additional amount calculated as:

      (a)   an amount equal to the bonus, if any, paid to the Executive in
            respect of the fiscal year prior to the year in which termination
            occurs or, if no bonuses have been paid to Stantec's Canadian
            employees generally in respect of that year;

      (b)   an amount equal to the bonus, if any, paid to the Executive in
            respect of the fiscal year two years prior to the year in which
            termination occurs.

                                                                   Page 10 of 10

3.6   TERMINATION ON PERMANENT INCAPACITY OF EXECUTIVE

      The employment of the Executive shall be terminated if the Executive is
      unable by any reason of illness, disease, mental or physical disability or
      incapacity, or otherwise, to perform his services hereunder for a period
      of 180 days (whether or not consecutive) during any twelve month period,
      whereupon STN shall cause to be paid annual Base Salary and Annual Bonus
      actually earned by the Executive to the date of termination. Nothing
      herein, however, shall disentitle the Executive from any rights or
      entitlements to which the Executive may be entitled pursuant to the
      company benefits programs in the event that such permanent incapacity
      occurs.

3.7   EXECUTIVE'S OPTION RIGHTS

      The Executive and STN agree that the rights of the Executive to exercise
      options to purchase securities of STN are contained in a separate
      agreement and any limitation on the Executive's rights to exercise options
      by reason of termination are contained in such separate agreement and not
      in this Agreement.

4.    EXECUTIVE'S OBLIGATIONS

4.1   CONFIDENTIALITY

      The Executive covenants and agrees with STN that he will not, during his
      employment or at any time hereafter, disclose any confidential information
      concerning the business or businesses now or hereafter conducted by STN
      including information relating to pricing policies, marketing schemes and
      sales, distribution and client lists of such business or businesses to any
      person, except in the ordinary course of his employment with STN, nor
      shall he use the same for any purpose other than with respect to the
      business or businesses now or hereafter conducted by STN.

4.2   NON-COMPETITION

      The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the performance of his
      duties he will necessarily acquire detailed knowledge of the business and
      affairs of STN and that STN will suffer harm in the event that such
      confidential information is disclosed to its competitors or in the event
      that the Executive uses such confidential information for any purpose
      other than the performance of his duties as an employee of STN. Therefore,
      the Executive covenants and agrees that for a period of two (2) years
      following termination of the Executive's employment with STN under this
      Agreement, he will not directly or indirectly as an owner, employee,
      servant, consultant, contractor, agent or otherwise, engage in business or
      otherwise provide services in competition with STN in the Provinces of
      Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Ontario.

      The foregoing restrictions also apply to other geographic areas, including
      international areas, for work in the following categories:

      a)    work being done or started by STN or any of its affiliated or
            subsidiary companies;


      b)    work for which a previous report or proposal has been prepared or
            submitted by STN or any of its affiliated or subsidiary companies
            within two (2) years prior to the termination of this Agreement; and

                                                                     Page 4 of 8

<PAGE>

      c)    work for which promotional efforts by STN or any of its affiliated
            or subsidiary companies, or any one in their employ, had occurred
            during the period of two (2) years prior to the termination of this
            Agreement.

      The Executive has read and understood the provisions of this Section 4.2,
      agrees with the restrictions set forth herein and agrees that the time
      period and geographic location restrictions are fair, reasonable and
      legitimately necessary for the protection of STN's interests. In the event
      a Court of competent jurisdiction declares the time period or geographic
      location restrictions to be unreasonable, the Executive and STN covenant
      and agree that the time period restriction shall be reduced to one (1)
      year and the geographic location restriction be limited to the Provinces
      of Alberta and Ontario. In the further event that a court of competent
      jurisdiction declares the reduced time period or geographic location
      restrictions to be unreasonable, the Executive and STN covenant and agree
      that the time period restriction shall be further reduced to six (6)
      months and the geographic location restriction be further limited to the
      Province of Alberta.

4.3   NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES AND CLIENTS

      The Executive acknowledges and agrees that during the continuance of his
      employment and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, he will not, for
      his own private advantage, or for the advantage of any third party:

      a)    hire any employee of STN or its affiliates or subsidiaries, or
            induce or attempt to induce any employee of STN or its affiliates or
            subsidiaries to leave their employment with STN; nor

      b)    contact, solicit, sell, serve, divert or receive any business to or
            from any of the clients of STN or its affiliates or subsidiaries.

4.4   EXCEPTION FOR TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE

      In the event of the termination of this Agreement by STN without cause,
      the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.3 shall be limited to one (1) year
      (or such lesser period if applicable, as set out in Section 4.2 above).

4.5   STN INFORMATION

      All notes, records, working papers, files, research material, literature,
      drawings, computer software and other proprietary information ("STN's
      Information") accumulated or developed by the Executive in connection with
      his assignments at STN and any technological concepts or devices resulting
      therefrom, whether patentable or otherwise, are considered the property of
      STN and the Executive may not copy, secure, transmit, keep, store, gain
      from, sell or use STN's Information or property for any purposes other
      than in undertaking assignments at STN. To the extent necessary, the
      Executive covenants and agrees to execute and deliver to STN, or such of
      its subsidiaries or affiliates as STN directs, such documents or
      instruments as may be necessary to assign any of the rights or interests
      described in this section that are developed by the Executive.

4.6   STANTEC POLICIES

      The Executive agrees to comply with all policies and practices established
      by STN and communicated to the Executive from time to time. In the event

4.    THE EXECUTIVE'S OBLIGATIONS

4.1   CONFIDENTIALITY

      The Executive shall treat all information obtained during the Executive's
      employment with STANTEC as confidential (the "Confidential Information").
      The Executive shall not use the Confidential Information in any manner
      detrimental to the interests of STANTEC nor shall the Executive disclose
      the Confidential Information to any party except in the interests of
      STANTEC.

4.2   NON-COMPETITION

      The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the performance of his
      duties he will necessarily acquire detailed knowledge of the business and
      affairs of STANTEC and that STANTEC will suffer harm in the event that
      such confidential information is disclosed to its competitors or in the
      event that the Executive uses such confidential information for any
      purpose other than the performance of his duties as an employee of
      STANTEC. Therefore, the Executive covenants and agrees that for a period
      of two (2) years following termination of the Executive's employment with
      STANTEC under this Agreement, he will not directly or indirectly as an
      owner, employee, servant, consultant, contractor, agent or otherwise,
      engage in business or otherwise provide services in competition with
      STANTEC in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British
      Columbia.

      The foregoing restrictions also apply to other geographic areas, including
      international areas, for work in the following categories:

      a)    work being done or started by STANTEC or any of its affiliated or
            subsidiary companies;

      b)    work for which a previous report or proposal has been prepared or
            submitted by STANTEC or any of its affiliated or subsidiary
            companies within two (2) years prior to the termination of this
            Agreement; and

      c)    work for which promotional efforts by STANTEC or any of its
            affiliated or subsidiary companies, or any one in their employ, had
            occurred during the period of two (2) years prior to the termination
            of this Agreement.

                                                                    Page 4 of 10
<PAGE>

      The Executive has read and understood the provisions of this Section 4.2,
      agrees with the restrictions set forth herein and agrees that the time
      period and geographic location restrictions are fair, reasonable and
      legitimately necessary for the protection of STANTEC's interests. In the
      event a Court of competent jurisdiction declares the time period or
      geographic location restrictions to be unreasonable, the Executive and
      STANTEC covenant and agree that the time period restriction shall be
      reduced to one (1) year and the geographic location restriction be limited
      to the Province of Alberta. In the further event that a court of competent
      jurisdiction declares the reduced time period or geographic location
      restrictions to be unreasonable, the Executive and STANTEC covenant and
      agree that the time period restriction shall be further reduced to six (6)
      months and the geographic location restriction be further limited to the
      City of Calgary.

4.3   CHANGE OF GEOGRAPHIC AREA

      The Executive covenants and agrees that in the event the Executive is at
      some later date responsible for a different geographic area, Section 4.2
      remains in full force and effect and shall be deemed to apply to the new
      area in the same manner and to the same extent as if the new geographic
      area had been identified as the geographic area in Section 4.2 hereof.

4.4   NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES AND CLIENTS

      The Executive acknowledges and agrees that during the continuance of his
      employment and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, he will not, for
      his own private advantage, or for the advantage of any third party:

      a)    hire any employee of STANTEC or its affiliates or subsidiaries, or
            induce or attempt to induce any employee of STANTEC or its
            affiliates or subsidiaries to leave their employment with STANTEC;
            nor

      b)    contact, solicit, sell, serve, divert or receive any business to or
            from any of the clients of STANTEC or its affiliates or
            subsidiaries.

4.5   EXCEPTION FOR TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE

      In the event of the termination of this Agreement by STANTEC without
      cause, the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.4 shall be limited to one (1)
      year (or such lesser period if applicable, as set out in Section 4.2
      above).

4.6   STANTEC INFORMATION

      All notes, records, working papers, files, research material, literature,
      drawings, computer software and other proprietary information ("STANTEC's
      Information") accumulated or developed by the Executive in connection with
      his assignments at STANTEC and any technological concepts or devices
      resulting therefrom, whether patentable or otherwise, are considered the
      property of STANTEC and the Executive may not copy, secure, transmit,
      keep, store, gain from, sell or use STANTEC's Information or property for

      directs, such documents or instruments as may be necessary to assign any
      of the rights or interests described in this section that are developed by

actually and properly incurred by the Executive in the course of performing his
services hereunder, such payment to be made in accordance with STANTEC's

OVERTIME EXEMPTION

The Executive will be exempt from overtime entitlements as the scope of the
Executive's duties and responsibilities will be supervisory or managerial in
nature and/or by virtue of the Executive's profession.

BONUS

STANTEC may, in its sole discretion, pay the Executive a bonus from time to
time. In determining whether or not to pay a bonus in respect of any year,
STANTEC will consider, among other things, exceptional individual and corporate
performance. Receipt of a bonus in any year shall not create an entitlement to a
bonus in subsequent years.

            of the fiscal year two years prior to the year in which termination
            occurs; plus

      (b)   the amount determined in paragraph (a) above pro rated for that
            portion of the year which has elapsed from the last fiscal year end
            to the date of termination.

2.    If bonuses have been paid to Canadian employees pursuant to Stantec's
      annual bonus plan for the fiscal year prior to the year in which
      termination occurs, a bonus equal to the bonus, if

                                                                    Page 9 of 10

      termination; plus

2.    an additional amount calculated as:

      (a)   an amount equal to the bonus, if any, paid to the Executive in
            respect of the fiscal year prior to the year in which termination
            occurs or, if no bonuses have been paid to Stantec's Canadian
            employees generally in respect of that year;

      (b)   an amount equal to the bonus, if any, paid to the Executive in
            respect of the fiscal year two years prior to the year in which
            termination occurs.

                                                                   Page 10 of 10

            giving no less than three (3) months notice in writing to STANTEC
            (the "Notice Period"), in which case the Executive shall be paid
            only the Base Salary actually earned by the Executive to the date of

            provided further that the Executive shall not be entitled to any

            Notice Period; and

      b)    at any time prior to the Executive's sixty-fifth birthday, STANTEC

            hereto.

3.4   TERMINATION ON PERMANENT INCAPACITY OF THE EXECUTIVE

      such permanent incapacity occurs.

3.5   TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE BY REASON OF CHANGE OF CONTROL OF STANTEC INC.

            (i)   a third person, including a person, firm, syndicate, group or
                  corporation, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or

                  of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election
                  of directors of Stantec Inc.; or

            (ii)  a third person, including a person, firm, syndicate, group or
                  corporation, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or
                  indirectly, of shares of Stantec Inc. carrying more than 30%
                  of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election
                  of directors of Stantec Inc. and when nominees of the said 30%
                  holder are elected as a majority of the Stantec Inc. Board of
                  Directors.

                                                                     Page 3 of 9
<PAGE>

      b)    If during the term of this Agreement, there occurs a change of
            control of Stantec Inc., the Executive shall, in his sole discretion
            and at any time within the six (6) month period immediately
            following the date of such change of control, be entitled to
            terminate this Agreement. Upon the termination of this Agreement
            pursuant to this paragraph, STANTEC shall cause to be paid to the
            Executive in full and final satisfaction of all of its obligations
            to the Executive the amount of $100,000, the Base Salary actually
            earned by the Executive to the date of termination and a bonus in
            accordance with Schedule "A" attached hereto.

3.6   TERMINATION AT AGE SIXTY FIVE

      This Agreement shall terminate on the Executive's sixty-fifth birthday
      without further notice or compensation other than the Base Salary actually
      earned by the Executive to the date of termination.

4.    THE EXECUTIVE'S OBLIGATIONS

4.1   CONFIDENTIALITY

      The Executive shall treat all information obtained during the Executive's
      employment with STANTEC as confidential (the "Confidential Information").
      The Executive shall not use the Confidential Information in any manner
      detrimental to the interests of STANTEC nor shall the Executive disclose
      the Confidential Information to any party except in the interests of
      STANTEC.

4.2   NON-COMPETITION

      The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the performance of his
      duties he will necessarily acquire detailed knowledge of the business and
      affairs of STANTEC and that STANTEC will suffer harm in the event that
      such confidential information is disclosed to its competitors or in the
      event that the Executive uses such confidential information for any
      purpose other than the performance of his duties as an employee of
      STANTEC. Therefore, the Executive covenants and agrees that for a period
      of two (2) years following termination of the Executive's employment with
      STANTEC under this Agreement, he will not directly or indirectly as an
      owner, employee, servant, consultant, contractor, agent or otherwise,
      engage in business or otherwise provide services in competition with
      STANTEC in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec.

      The foregoing restrictions also apply to other geographic areas, including
      international areas, for work in the following categories:

      a)    work being done or started by STANTEC or any of its affiliated or
            subsidiary companies;

      b)    work for which a previous report or proposal has been prepared or
            submitted by STANTEC or any of its affiliated or subsidiary
            companies within two (2) years prior to the termination of this
            Agreement; and

      c)    work for which promotional efforts by STANTEC or any of its
            affiliated or subsidiary companies, or any one in their employ, had
            occurred during the period of two (2) years prior to the termination
            of this Agreement.

      The Executive has read and understood the provisions of this Section 4.2,
      agrees with the restrictions set forth herein and agrees that the time
      period and geographic location

                                                                     Page 4 of 9
<PAGE>

      restrictions are fair, reasonable and legitimately necessary for the
      protection of STANTEC's interests. In the event a Court of competent
      jurisdiction declares the time period or geographic location restrictions
      to be unreasonable, the Executive and STANTEC covenant and agree that the
      time period restriction shall be reduced to one (1) year and the
      geographic location restriction be limited to southwestern Ontario. In the
      further event that a court of competent jurisdiction declares the reduced
      time period or geographic location restrictions to be unreasonable, the
      Executive and STANTEC covenant and agree that the time period restriction
      shall be further reduced to six (6) months and the geographic location
      restriction be further limited to the Kitchener/Waterloo metropolitan
      area.

4.3   CHANGE OF GEOGRAPHIC AREA

      The Executive covenants and agrees that in the event the Executive is at
      some later date responsible for a different geographic area, Section 4.2
      remains in full force and effect and shall be deemed to apply to the new
      area in the same manner and to the same extent as if the new geographic
      area had been identified as the geographic area in Section 4.2 hereof.

4.4   NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES AND CLIENTS

      The Executive acknowledges and agrees that during the continuance of his
      employment and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, he will not, for
      his own private advantage, or for the advantage of any third party:

      a)    hire any employee of STANTEC or its affiliates or subsidiaries, or
            induce or attempt to induce any employee of STANTEC or its
            affiliates or subsidiaries to leave their employment with STANTEC;
            nor

      b)    contact, solicit, sell, serve, divert or receive any business to or
            from any of the clients of STANTEC or its affiliates or
            subsidiaries.

4.5   EXCEPTION FOR TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE

      In the event of the termination of this Agreement by STANTEC without
      cause, the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.4 shall be limited to one (1)
      year (or such lesser period if applicable, as set out in Section 4.2
      above).

4.6   STANTEC INFORMATION

      All notes, records, working papers, files, research material, literature,
      drawings, computer software and other proprietary information ("STANTEC's
      Information") accumulated or developed by the Executive in connection with
      his assignments at STANTEC and any technological concepts or devices
      resulting therefrom, whether patentable or otherwise, are considered the
      property of STANTEC and the Executive may not copy, secure, transmit,
      keep, store, gain from, sell or use STANTEC's Information or property for
      any purposes other than in undertaking assignments at STANTEC. To the
      extent necessary, the Executive covenants and agrees to execute and
      deliver to STANTEC, or such of its subsidiaries or affiliates as STANTEC
      directs, such documents or instruments as may be necessary to assign any
      of the rights or interests described in this section that are developed by
      the Executive.

                                                                     Page 5 of 9

     year; and

b)   in respect of the year in which the Executive's employment is terminated,
     the amount of 35% of the Executive's base salary for that year, pro rated

            giving no less than three (3) months notice in writing to STANTEC
            (the "Notice Period"), in which case the Executive shall be paid
            only the Base Salary actually earned by the Executive to the date of

            Notice Period; and

      b)    at any time prior to the Executive's sixty-fifth birthday, STANTEC

3.5   TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE BY REASON OF CHANGE OF CONTROL OF STANTEC INC.

            (i)   a third person, including a person, firm, syndicate, group or
                  corporation, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or

                  of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election
                  of directors of Stantec Inc.; or

            (ii)  a third person, including a person, firm, syndicate, group or
                  corporation, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or
                  indirectly, of shares of Stantec Inc. carrying more than 30%
                  of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election
                  of directors of Stantec Inc. and when nominees of the said 30%
                  holder are elected as a majority of the Stantec Inc. Board of
                  Directors.

                                                                     Page 3 of 9
<PAGE>

      b)    If during the term of this Agreement, there occurs a change of
            control of Stantec Inc., the Executive shall, in his sole discretion
            and at any time within the six (6) month period immediately
            following the date of such change of control, be entitled to
            terminate this Agreement. Upon the termination of this Agreement
            pursuant to this paragraph, STANTEC shall cause to be paid to the
            Executive in full and final satisfaction of all of its obligations
            to the Executive the amount of $100,000, the Base Salary actually
            earned by the Executive to the date of termination and a bonus in
            accordance with Schedule "A" attached hereto.

3.6   TERMINATION AT AGE SIXTY FIVE

      This Agreement shall terminate on the Executive's sixty-fifth birthday
      without further notice or compensation other than the Base Salary actually
      earned by the Executive to the date of termination.

4.    THE EXECUTIVE'S OBLIGATIONS

4.1   CONFIDENTIALITY

      The Executive shall treat all information obtained during the Executive's
      employment with STANTEC as confidential (the "Confidential Information").
      The Executive shall not use the Confidential Information in any manner
      detrimental to the interests of STANTEC nor shall the Executive disclose
      the Confidential Information to any party except in the interests of
      STANTEC.

4.2   NON-COMPETITION

      The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the performance of his
      duties he will necessarily acquire detailed knowledge of the business and
      affairs of STANTEC and that STANTEC will suffer harm in the event that
      such confidential information is disclosed to its competitors or in the
      event that the Executive uses such confidential information for any
      purpose other than the performance of his duties as an employee of
      STANTEC. Therefore, the Executive covenants and agrees that for a period
      of two (2) years following termination of the Executive's employment with
      STANTEC under this Agreement, he will not directly or indirectly as an
      owner, employee, servant, consultant, contractor, agent or otherwise,
      engage in business or otherwise provide services in competition with
      STANTEC in the Province of Alberta.

      The foregoing restrictions also apply to other geographic areas, including
      international areas, for work in the following categories:

      a)    work being done or started by STANTEC or any of its affiliated or
            subsidiary companies;

      b)    work for which a previous report or proposal has been prepared or
            submitted by STANTEC or any of its affiliated or subsidiary
            companies within two (2) years prior to the termination of this
            Agreement; and

      c)    work for which promotional efforts by STANTEC or any of its
            affiliated or subsidiary companies, or any one in their employ, had
            occurred during the period of two (2) years prior to the termination
            of this Agreement.

      The Executive has read and understood the provisions of this Section 4.2,
      agrees with the restrictions set forth herein and agrees that the time
      period and geographic location

                                                                     Page 4 of 9
<PAGE>

      restrictions are fair, reasonable and legitimately necessary for the
      protection of STANTEC's interests. In the event a Court of competent
      jurisdiction declares the time period or geographic location restrictions
      to be unreasonable, the Executive and STANTEC covenant and agree that the
      time period restriction shall be reduced to one (1) year and the
      geographic location restriction be limited to the City of Edmonton. In the
      further event that a court of competent jurisdiction declares the reduced
      time period or geographic location restrictions to be unreasonable, the
      Executive and STANTEC covenant and agree that the time period restriction
      shall be further reduced to six (6) months and the geographic location
      restriction be limited to the City of Edmonton.

4.3   CHANGE OF GEOGRAPHIC AREA

      The Executive covenants and agrees that in the event the Executive is at
      some later date responsible for a different geographic area, Section 4.2
      remains in full force and effect and shall be deemed to apply to the new
      area in the same manner and to the same extent as if the new geographic
      area had been identified as the geographic area in Section 4.2 hereof.

4.4   NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES AND CLIENTS

      The Executive acknowledges and agrees that during the continuance of his
      employment and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, he will not, for
      his own private advantage, or for the advantage of any third party:

      a)    hire any employee of STANTEC or its affiliates or subsidiaries, or
            induce or attempt to induce any employee of STANTEC or its
            affiliates or subsidiaries to leave their employment with STANTEC;
            nor

      b)    contact, solicit, sell, serve, divert or receive any business to or
            from any of the clients of STANTEC or its affiliates or
            subsidiaries.

4.5   EXCEPTION FOR TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE

      In the event of the termination of this Agreement by STANTEC without
      cause, the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.4 shall be limited to one (1)
      year (or such lesser period if applicable, as set out in Section 4.2
      above).

4.6   STANTEC INFORMATION

      All notes, records, working papers, files, research material, literature,
      drawings, computer software and other proprietary information ("STANTEC's
      Information") accumulated or developed by the Executive in connection with
      his assignments at STANTEC and any technological concepts or devices
      resulting therefrom, whether patentable or otherwise, are considered the
      property of STANTEC and the Executive may not copy, secure, transmit,
      keep, store, gain from, sell or use STANTEC's Information or property for
      any purposes other than in undertaking assignments at STANTEC. To the
      extent necessary, the Executive covenants and agrees to execute and
      deliver to STANTEC, or such of its subsidiaries or affiliates as STANTEC
      directs, such documents or instruments as may be necessary to assign any
      of the rights or interests described in this section that are developed by
      the Executive.

                                                                     Page 5 of 9

4.7   STANTEC POLICIES

      the amount of 35% of the Executive's base salary for that year, pro rated

            giving no less than three (3) months notice in writing to STANTEC
            (the "Notice Period"), in which case the Executive shall be paid
            only the Base Salary actually earned by the Executive to the date of

                  of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election
                  of directors of Stantec Inc.; or

            (ii)  a third person, including a person, firm, syndicate, group or
                  corporation, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or
                  indirectly, of shares of Stantec Inc. carrying more than 30%
                  of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election
                  of directors of Stantec Inc. and when nominees of the said 30%
                  holder are elected as a majority of the Stantec Inc. Board of
                  Directors.

                                                                     Page 3 of 9
<PAGE>

      b)    If during the term of this Agreement, there occurs a change of

            and at any time within the six (6) month period immediately
            following the date of such change of control, be entitled to
            terminate this Agreement. Upon the termination of this Agreement
            pursuant to this paragraph, STANTEC shall cause to be paid to the
            Executive in full and final satisfaction of all of its obligations
            to the Executive the amount of $200,000, the Base Salary actually
            earned by the Executive to the date of termination and a bonus in
            accordance with Schedule "A" attached hereto.

3.6   TERMINATION AT AGE SIXTY FIVE

      This Agreement shall terminate on the Executive's sixty-fifth birthday
      without further notice or compensation other than the Base Salary actually
      earned by the Executive to the date of termination.

4.    THE EXECUTIVE'S OBLIGATIONS

4.1   CONFIDENTIALITY

      The Executive shall treat all information obtained during the Executive's
      employment with STANTEC as confidential (the "Confidential Information").
      The Executive shall not use the Confidential Information in any manner
      detrimental to the interests of STANTEC nor shall the Executive disclose
      the Confidential Information to any party except in the interests of
      STANTEC.

4.2   NON-COMPETITION

      The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the performance of his
      duties he will necessarily acquire detailed knowledge of the business and
      affairs of STANTEC and that STANTEC will suffer harm in the event that
      such confidential information is disclosed to its competitors or in the
      event that the Executive uses such confidential information for any
      purpose other than the performance of his duties as an employee of
      STANTEC. Therefore, the Executive covenants and agrees that for a period
      of two (2) years following termination of the Executive's employment with
      STANTEC under this Agreement, he will not directly or indirectly as an
      owner, employee, servant, consultant, contractor, agent or otherwise,
      engage in business or otherwise provide services in competition with
      STANTEC in the Province of Alberta.

      The foregoing restrictions also apply to other geographic areas, including
      international areas, for work in the following categories:

      a)    work being done or started by STANTEC or any of its affiliated or
            subsidiary companies;

      b)    work for which a previous report or proposal has been prepared or
            submitted by STANTEC or any of its affiliated or subsidiary
            companies within two (2) years prior to the termination of this
            Agreement; and

      c)    work for which promotional efforts by STANTEC or any of its
            affiliated or subsidiary companies, or any one in their employ, had
            occurred during the period of two (2) years prior to the termination
            of this Agreement.

      The Executive has read and understood the provisions of this Section 4.2,
      agrees with the restrictions set forth herein and agrees that the time
      period and geographic location

                                                                     Page 4 of 9
<PAGE>

      restrictions are fair, reasonable and legitimately necessary for the
      protection of STANTEC's interests. In the event a Court of competent
      jurisdiction declares the time period or geographic location restrictions
      to be unreasonable, the Executive and STANTEC covenant and agree that the
      time period restriction shall be reduced to one (1) year and the
      geographic location restriction be limited to the City of Edmonton. In the
      further event that a court of competent jurisdiction declares the reduced
      time period or geographic location restrictions to be unreasonable, the
      Executive and STANTEC covenant and agree that the time period restriction
      shall be further reduced to six (6) months and the geographic location
      restriction be limited to the City of Edmonton.

4.3   CHANGE OF GEOGRAPHIC AREA

      The Executive covenants and agrees that in the event the Executive is at
      some later date responsible for a different geographic area, Section 4.2
      remains in full force and effect and shall be deemed to apply to the new
      area in the same manner and to the same extent as if the new geographic
      area had been identified as the geographic area in Section 4.2 hereof.

4.4   NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES AND CLIENTS

      The Executive acknowledges and agrees that during the continuance of his
      employment and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, he will not, for
      his own private advantage, or for the advantage of any third party:

      a)    hire any employee of STANTEC or its affiliates or subsidiaries, or
            induce or attempt to induce any employee of STANTEC or its
            affiliates or subsidiaries to leave their employment with STANTEC;
            nor

      b)    contact, solicit, sell, serve, divert or receive any business to or
            from any of the clients of STANTEC or its affiliates or
            subsidiaries.

4.5   EXCEPTION FOR TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE

      In the event of the termination of this Agreement by STANTEC without
      cause, the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.4 shall be limited to one (1)
      year (or such lesser period if applicable, as set out in Section 4.2
      above).

4.6   STANTEC INFORMATION

      All notes, records, working papers, files, research material, literature,
      drawings, computer software and other proprietary information ("STANTEC's
      Information") accumulated or developed by the Executive in connection with
      his assignments at STANTEC and any technological concepts or devices
      resulting therefrom, whether patentable or otherwise, are considered the
      property of STANTEC and the Executive may not copy, secure, transmit,
      keep, store, gain from, sell or use STANTEC's Information or property for
      any purposes other than in undertaking assignments at STANTEC. To the
      extent necessary, the Executive covenants and agrees to execute and
      deliver to STANTEC, or such of its subsidiaries or affiliates as STANTEC
      directs, such documents or instruments as may be necessary to assign any
      of the rights or interests described in this section that are developed by
      the Executive.

                                                                     Page 5 of 9
<PAGE>

4.7   STANTEC POLICIES

      The Executive agrees to comply with all policies and practices established
      by STANTEC and communicated to the Executive from time to time. In the

      The Executive hereby represents and warrants to STANTEC and acknowledges
      and agrees that he had the opportunity to seek and was not prevented nor
      discouraged by STANTEC from seeking independent legal advice prior to the
      execution and delivery of this Agreement and that, in the event that he
      did not avail himself of that opportunity prior to signing this Agreement,
      he did so voluntarily without any undue pressure and agrees that his
      failure to obtain independent legal advice shall not be used by him as a
      defence to the enforcement of his obligations under this Agreement.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date
      first above written.

REMUNERATION

STANTEC shall cause to be paid to the Executive as his remuneration a base
salary (the "Base Salary") of $6,731.27 bi-weekly.

TRAVEL AND OTHER EXPENSES

STANTEC agrees to reimburse the Executive for travel and entertainment expenses
actually and properly incurred by the Executive in the course of performing his
services hereunder, such payment to be made in accordance with STANTEC's
policies.

OVERTIME EXEMPTION

The Executive will be exempt from overtime entitlements as the scope of the
Executive's duties and responsibilities will be supervisory or managerial in
nature and/or by virtue of the Executive's profession.

BONUS

STANTEC may, in its sole discretion, pay the Executive a bonus from time to
time. In determining whether or not to pay a bonus in respect of any year,
STANTEC will consider, among other things, exceptional individual and corporate
performance. Receipt of a bonus in any year shall not create an entitlement to a
bonus in subsequent years. In the event that the employment of the Executive is
terminated as a result of the operation of Sections 3.2(b), 3.3, 3.4, or 3.5,
the Executive shall be entitled to a bonus equal to:

a)    in respect of the fiscal year prior to the year in which the Executive's
      employment is terminated, if no bonus has been paid in respect of that
      year, a bonus in the amount of 35% of the Executive's Base Salary for that
      year; and

b)    in respect of the year in which the Executive's employment is terminated,
      the amount of 35% of the Executive's base salary for that year, pro rated
      for that portion of the year which has elapsed to the date of termination.

                                                                     Page 9 of 9
