   FORM 52-109FT2 - CERTIFICATION OF INTERIM FILINGS DURING TRANSITION PERIOD

I, A.P. Franceschini, President & CEO, certify that:

1.    I have reviewed the interim filings (as this term is defined in
      Multilateral Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers'
      Annual and Interim Filings) of Stantec Inc. for the quarter ending June
      30, 2004;

2.    Based on my knowledge, the interim filings do not contain any untrue
      statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
      be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light
      of the circumstances under which it was made, with respect to the period
      covered by the interim filings; and

3.    Based on my knowledge, the interim financial statements together with the
      other financial information included in the interim filings fairly present
      in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations
      and cash flows of the issuer, as of the date and for the periods presented
      in the interim filings.

August 5, 2004

"Signed"

A.P. Franceschini, P. Eng.

President & CEO
