Notice of Annual General Meeting

Notice-and-Access

This year, Stantec Inc. (Stantec) is using “notice-and-access” to deliver the Management Information Circular for our annual general shareholder meeting to both registered and beneficial shareholders. This means that our circular is being posted online for you to access, rather than being mailed out. This Notice includes information on how to access our circular online and how to request a paper copy. Notice-and-access gives shareholders more choice, substantially reduces our printing and mailing costs, and is environmentally friendly as it reduces paper and energy consumption. You will find enclosed with this Notice a form of proxy or a voting instruction form that you can use to vote your shares of Stantec (see “Voting” below). It is very important that you read the circular carefully before voting your shares. |  |  |  |  |  | WHEN Friday, May 10, 2019 10:30 AM (MDT) WHERE Stantec Tower Suite 400, 10220 – 103 Avenue NW Edmonton, Alberta, T5J 0K4. |  |
