<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia,serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia,serif; margin: 0pt 0">Global design firm Stantec is bolstering its growing environmental service presence
and capabilities across northern California by acquiring Redding, California-based North State Resources, Inc. (NSR). Founded in
1986, NSR is a 60-person environmental consulting firm with additional offices in Sacramento and Chico, California. The transaction
closed on Friday, October 27.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia,serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia,serif; margin: 0pt 0">&ldquo;The talent and regional reputation held by NSR is invaluable as we continually
expand our capabilities to serve clients in California and throughout the Western US,&rdquo; said Bob Gomes, Stantec president
and chief executive officer. &ldquo;Their talented team members will help us continually grow our environmental service capabilities
in new and existing company communities.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia,serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia,serif; margin: 0pt 0">NSR resolves technical and regulatory issues that affect construction and operation
of infrastructure and management of natural resources. The firm&rsquo;s key areas of focus support National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance and environmental permitting in primarily the power, transportation,
water, and community development sectors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia,serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia,serif; margin: 0pt 0">With more than 30 years of experience, NSR has serviced private and public clients
on a variety of project types. Among the firm&rsquo;s notable efforts, NSR works with the Bureau of Reclamation Mid-Pacific Region
supporting the NEPA environmental impact statement for the proposed enlargement of Shasta Dam, and preparing environmental assessments
for ecological restoration of the Trinity River. NSR performed technical studies and assisted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
documenting NEPA compliance for military and civil works projects in California, Nevada, and Arizona, including environmental evaluations
of bank protection measures at 25 priority erosion sites in five California counties. The firm assisted the Bureau of Land Management
in evaluating the 240-mile Pacific Connector pipeline project proposed to transport natural gas across southern Oregon. They also
support local northern California counties and cities to implement bridge replacement and other transportation improvement projects.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia,serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia,serif; margin: 0pt 0">&ldquo;This is a tremendous opportunity to continue supporting public works
projects that are important to the communities we live in&mdash;and in new geographies as well&mdash;while offering our clients
an expanded and complementary suite of capabilities drawn from the larger Stantec network,&rdquo; says Tim Reilly, NSR Principal.
&ldquo;Stantec&rsquo;s penetration into renewable energy and other key and rapidly emerging industry sectors provides our employees
broad and exciting avenues for professional development.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia,serif; margin: 0pt 0">From its base of more than 22,000 employees, Stantec currently has more than
3,200 team members working in environmental services, including 500 in the US West. Stantec currently has more than 9,000 US employees.</P>
