Stantec Inc.

Annual Information Form





February 25, 2015

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Our public communications often include written or verbal forward-looking statements within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 safe harbor provisions and forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively referred to as forward-looking statements). Forward-looking
statements are disclosures regarding possible events, conditions, or results of operations that are based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action and include future-oriented financial information.

Statements of this type are contained and incorporated by reference in this Annual Information Form, including



| | a) | The discussion of the expected results of our organizational realignment in the General Development of the Business section in this Annual Information Form
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | b) | Our beliefs about our risk management strategy and our ability to compete effectively in the Description of the Business section in this Annual Information Form
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | c) | The discussion of our goals, our key performance drivers, and our annual and long-term targets and expectations for our regions and business operating units in the Core Business and Strategy, Key Performance Drivers and
Capabilities, and Outlook sections of our Managements Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2014 (incorporated by reference in this Annual Information Form and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com) and may be contained in
filings with securities regulators or in other communications.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forward-looking statements may involve, but are not limited to, comments
with respect to our objectives for 2015 and beyond, our strategies or future actions, our dividend policy, our targets, expectations for our financial condition, or the results of our outlook for our operations.

The purpose of this information is to describe managements expectations and targets for measuring our success and to assist our shareholders to
understand our financial position as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented in this document. Readers are cautioned that this information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

By their nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. There is significant risk that
predictions, forecasts, conclusions, projections, and other forward-looking statements will not prove to be accurate. We caution readers of this Annual Information Form not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements since a number of
factors could cause actual future results, conditions, actions, or events to differ materially from the targets, expectations, estimates, or intentions expressed in these forward-looking statements.

The following factors among others listed under the Key Performance Drivers and Capabilities section of our Managements Discussion and Analysis
for the year ended December 31, 2014 (incorporated by reference in this Annual Information Form and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com) could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in our forward-looking
statements:



| | Global capital market activities
|- | --------------------------------



| | Fluctuations in interest rates or currency values
|- | -------------------------------------------------



| | Fluctuations in commodity prices
|- | --------------------------------



| | Effects of war or terrorist activities
|- | --------------------------------------



Stantec
Inc.            3



---

| | Effects of disease or illness on local, national, or international economies
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Effects of disruptions to public infrastructure, such as transportation, communications, power, or water
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Global economic or political conditions
|- | ---------------------------------------



| | Regulatory or statutory developments
|- | ------------------------------------



| | Effects of competition in the geographic or business areas in which we operate
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Actions of management
|- | ---------------------



| | Technological changes
|- | ---------------------

Many of these factors are beyond our control and have effects that are difficult to
predict.

Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian and US economies in 2015 and how it will affect our business are material factors that we
consider when determining our forward-looking statements. These assumptions are discussed in the Outlook section of our Managements Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2014 (incorporated by reference in this Annual
Information Form and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com).

For additional information regarding material and known risks and assumptions, see the discussion
on pages M-58 to M-66 and M-68 to M-69 of our Managements Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2014, which is incorporated by reference. Further information about our key performance drivers is found on pages M-8 to
M-14 of our Managements Discussion and Analysis, which is incorporated by reference.

We caution that various factors, including those discussed in
our Managements Discussion and Analysis, could adversely affect our results. Investors and others should carefully consider these factorsas well as other uncertainties and potential events and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking
statementswhen relying on these statements to make decisions about our Company.

The forward-looking statements contained in this document represent
our expectations as at February 25, 2015, and are subject to change after this date. Except as may be required by law, we do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, written or verbal, that may be made from time to time by us. Our
current practice is to evaluate and, where we deem appropriate, provide updates to ranges of expected performance for 2015. However, subject to legal requirements, we may change this practice at any time at our sole discretion.

Stantec
Experts-conseils ltée

Three-Year History

The following are highlights of Stantecs general development over the past three years.

2014

Organizational Realignment

Effective January 1, 2014, we realigned our organizational structure with a change from practice area units to three business operating units: Buildings,
Energy & Resources, and Infrastructure. We did not change the foundation of our matrix-based leadership structure; we simply realigned it. The realignment was based on the belief that it would create greater accountability for our
leadership team, result in more focused growth, and allow us to better support our clients and maintain the core elements of our strategy.

Officer and Director
Changes

During 2014, we also realigned our senior leadership team into two levels: the Executive Vice President Team (EVPT) and the Executive
Leadership Team (ELT). The EVPT consists of our CEO, CFO, COO, and the following executive vice presidents (EVPs), who were appointed in 2014:



| | Paul Allen
|- | ----------



| | Carl Clayton
|- | ------------



| | Tino DiManno
|- | ------------



| | Scott Murray
|- | ------------



| | Eric Nielsen
|- | ------------



| | Stanis Smith
|- | ------------

The ELT oversees Stantecs overall performance, including developing and monitoring our business plan,
monitoring financial performance and risks, approving policies and procedures, and overseeing acquisitions and divestitures. Our EVPs are specifically responsible for the performance of our regional operating units and our business operating units.
The ELT consists of senior vice presidents and certain vice presidents. This team has numerous responsibilities, including the execution of our business plan and our Companys financial management.

Share Split

On September 4, 2014, our board of directors
declared a two-for-one share split to be effected by way of a share dividend. Shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2014, were entitled to the share dividend on the November 14, 2014, payment date.

We acquired the following firms in the United States
during 2014:

Description of the Business





Stantec collaborates across disciplines
and industries to bring buildings, energy and resources, and infrastructure projects to life. Our workprofessional consulting in planning, engineering, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture,



Stantec
Inc.            9



---

surveying, environmental sciences, project management, and project economicsbegins at the intersection of community, creativity, and client relationships.

Our primary business objective is to be a top 10 global design firm. With the advantage of local insights and a long-term commitment to the people and places
we serve, Stantec has the unique ability to connect to projects on a personal level and advance the quality of life in communities across the globe.

Our
business model is a key element of our strategy. It is based on providing services across diverse geographic locations, distinct business operating units, and all phases of the infrastructure and facilities project life cycleplanning, design,
construction, maintenance, integrity management, remediation, and decommissioning. Because of the diversity of our model, we are generally able to adapt to changes in market conditions by offsetting decreased demand for services in one business
operating unit with increased demand for services in another. We believe this allows us to manage risk, while we continue to increase our revenue and earnings, by ensuring that we do not rely on a few large projects for our revenue and that no
single client or project accounts for more than 5% of our gross revenue.

Under the rules of IFRS, we have one reportable segmentConsulting
Servicesthat is an aggregate of our operating segments. Our operating segments are organized by geographic area, and our chief operating decision maker (CEO) assesses our Companys performance based on financial information available from
these geographic areas. In addition, our business operating unit leaders provide strategic direction, mentoring, and technical support to operations across our geographic regions.

The following table illustrates the breakdown of gross revenue for 2014 and 2013 for Consulting Services:



|                    |  |               |  |      |  |               |  |

Our operations are organized into three main geographic regions: Canada, the United States, and International. Our
international offices are in the Middle East, the United Kingdom, India, and the Caribbean. In 2014, we earned 53% of our gross revenue in Canada, 43% in the United States, and 4% internationally. For additional information regarding our core
business and strategy, see our 2014 Managements Discussion and Analysis, pages M-3 to M-14 (incorporated by reference in this Annual Information Form and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com).

Research and Development

We generally
conduct research and development for a clients 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,
wastewater treatment, and pavement evaluation and management systems.

Competitive Conditions

We work in highly competitive markets and have numerous competitors for all of our services. The number and identity of competitors vary widely with the type
of service we provide. For small- to medium-sized projects, we compete with many engineering, architecture, and other professional consulting firms. For larger projects, we have fewer but still many competitors; however, some of these competitors
have greater financial and other resources than we have. Although we compete with other large private and public companies in certain geographic locations, our primary competitors are small- to medium-sized privately held regional firms in Canada
and the United States.

We believe that our operating structure, our operating philosophy, our enterprise systems, and the mix and breadth of our
professional services differentiate us from other engineering, architecture, and professional consulting firms.



10            Annual Information Form



---

The main competitive factors in the services we offer are reputation, experience, breadth and quality of
services, technical proficiency, local offices, competitive total project fees, and integrated service delivery. Given the expanding demand for the services we provide, additional competitors will likely emerge. Even with this increased competition,
we believe that we will compete effectively because of our strengths and expertise in engineering, architecture, and related professional services, as well as our successful track record of service delivery.

Services

We serve many diverse clients in
the private and public sectors. Our aim is to establish ongoing relationships with clients that are likely to produce repeat business. We do not depend on any one client or group of clients to sustain our business; no single client or project
represents more than 5% of our overall business.

We offer a range of pricing structures to our clients but usually provide our services based on a fixed-
or variable-fee contract (with a ceiling) or a time-and-material contract (without a stated ceiling). Most assignments are acquired based on our expertise and contacts; others are obtained through a competitive bidding process.

Employees

As at December 31, 2014, we
had approximately 14,200 staff: about 8,500 professionals, 4,000 technologists and technicians, and 1,700 support personnel.

We are a knowledge-based
organization and always seek talented and skilled professionals for all of our specialized business units. We use various recruitment strategies to address staffing needs: an employee referral bonus program, website job postings, career fairs,
student programs, and opportunities to transfer to other office locations.

Social and Environmental Policies

Stantec is committed to continual improvements in all aspects of its business in the areas of health and safety and the environment. Accordingly, Stantec has
implemented a formal health and safety management system and an environmental management system across its operations.

OHSAS18001:2007 Occupational
Health & Safety Management System

In 2014, Stantec successfully developed and implemented an Occupational Health & Safety
Management System (OHSMS), which received external third-party certification under the consensus-based international standard for occupational health and safetythe OHSAS18001:2007 standard.

The objective of our certified OHSMS is three-fold:



| | Protect our employees from injury and prevent property loss and environmental damage by aligning work processes, systems, and behaviors so our employees have the necessary guidance and knowledge to complete every task
safely, every time
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Comply with applicable regulatory requirements and our Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Policy
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Meet client requirements and expectations
|- | -----------------------------------------

Addressing our Companys diversity, the HSE team develops core
health, safety, and environment practices that can be implemented Company-wide yet are adaptable to suit the needs of any region, business operating unit, client, or project.

Stantec tracks lagging indicators (e.g., workers compensation costs, total recordable injury rates) and leading indicators (e.g., site visits, file
reviews, safety meetings, worksite inspections) to gauge the effectiveness of the OHSMS.

The internal practice auditors in our Practice &
Quality Management team conduct internal practice audits to assist in assessing compliance and identifying program strengths and opportunities for improving health and safety performance. Independent (third-party) audits of the OHSMS are also
conducted yearly. As well, external audits are conducted in many provinces in Canada to maintain external certifications that meet provincial standards (e.g., a certificate of recognition).

Stantecs Health, Safety and Environment Policy

Stantec is committed to providing and maintaining a healthy and safe workplace and to responsibly managing all of the environmental aspects of its business.

Our core Company values guide us in all that we do. The way we treat our people, our clients, and our neighbors reflects who we are, what we believe in,
and how we do our work. At Stantec, we believe in doing what is right, which includes sending our people home injury-free, every day.

Stantecs HSE
Program is the cornerstone of the OHSMS, which, in turn, the is part of our Integrated Management System.

Stantec strives to



| | Identify, assess, and manage the health, safety, and environmental hazards and risks to which our employees are exposed to
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Minimize the environmental aspects and impacts associated with the services and products we provide
|- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Help our employees develop an awareness and understanding of the health, safety, and environmental issues related to their work
|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Work collaboratively with employees to achieve health, safety, and environmental objectives
|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Comply with legislation, regulations, and appropriate industry standards
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Monitor and enhance health, safety, and environmental practices through inspections, audits, reviews, investigations, corrective actions, and behavior-based processes
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Provide a framework which supports the continual improvement of the system
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Foster a culture in which all employees, partners, contractors, and subconsultants share a commitment to health, safety, and the environment
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone working for Stantec is responsible and accountable for Stantecs health, safety, and environmental performance. Management, supervisors,
employees, contractors, and subconsultants are expected to understand their roles and responsibilities, as outlined by the HSE Program, and to comply with the practices of the OHSMS.

ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System

To support
Stantecs sustainability policyone that promotes improving our environmental performance and reducing our environmental footprintwe developed and implemented a formal Environmental Management System (EMS). Our EMS is registered to
the ISO 14001:2004 environmental management standard, which is recognized internationally as the consensus environmental standard. The EMS is audited annually by an external auditor and requires leadership to establish environmental performance
objectives (e.g., to reduce energy, resource use, and waste) and formally report on those objectives within an accountable and transparent framework.

Stantecs Sustainability Policy

Stantec is committed to being
a leader and model of sustainability by doing business in a way that meets the needs of the present while contributing to an environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable future. This commitment is at the heart of how we operate and
deliver solutions to our clients, and is vital to our long-term success in achieving our vision.

We focus our efforts in the areas we believe we can have
a significant impact, as follows:



| | Building a leading sustainability consulting practice in the markets we serve by
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | ¡ | Using our expertise, experience, and influence to advance the sustainability of valued clients
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | ¡ | Incorporating sustainability into all of our service offerings
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------



| | ¡ | Marketing and selling sustainable development services across all sectors
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Integrating sustainability into our overall operations and everyday practice by
|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | ¡ | Implementing best industry, employee, and vendor practices to reduce resource use, waste, and emissions while increasing efficiency and effectiveness
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ¡ | Fostering an understanding of sustainability at all levels of our Company in ways that are both personally and professionally relevant
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | ¡ | Embracing an accountable and transparent governance and leadership structure that integrates sustainability considerations into all our business decisions
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | ¡ | Reporting on our sustainability performance and achievements
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------

Stantec strives to achieve the following:



| | Environmental ProgressReduce our impact on the environment by progressing toward least-impact approaches to resource and energy use, waste, and emissions of carbon and toxins
|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Social ProgressEngage with stakeholders and support the communities in which we operate
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Economic ViabilityDemonstrate that our sustainability efforts lead to long-term business vibrancy and viability in concert with our vision, strategic plan, and business objectives
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Responsibility for monitoring compliance with the Sustainability Policy rests with the CEO who has designated senior leadership responsibility to the senior
vice president of People & Practice. Operational responsibility rests with the vice president of Sustainable Development.

International Operations

In 2014, Stantec
remained active internationally; gross revenue from International operations was approximately $92.7 million.

We work in country via
permanent offices located in the Middle East, the United Kingdom, India, and the Caribbean, and we manage and support that work from our offices in Canada and the United States.

We review all projects for compliance in accordance with Stantecs project management framework, which includes, among other things, following legal,
financial, and technical processes. In addition, each in-country project is examined to ensure that any health and safety or political risks are acceptable. All major projects are subject to major project reviews, when applicable, and all projects
have an executive leadership sponsor.

Risk Factors





For a review of the risks pertaining to
our Company, please refer to our 2014 Managements Discussion and Analysis, pages M-58 to M-66 (incorporated by reference and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com).

Dividends





On February 15, 2012, Stantecs
board of directors approved a dividend policy and concurrently declared Stantecs first quarterly dividend. Since then, we have paid quarterly dividends on our common shares. While the Company aims to declare and pay a dividend quarterly, our
dividend policy is at the sole discretion of our board of directors and may vary depending on a variety of factors: prevailing economic and market conditions, the Companys earnings, financial requirements for the Companys operations, the
business strategy of the Company, and any other factors that our board of directors considers relevant. Therefore, Stantec cannot guarantee that the dividend policy will be maintained.

On September 4, 2014, our board of directors declared a two-for-one share split to be effected by way of a
share dividend. Shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2014, were entitled to the share dividend on the payment date of November 14, 2014.

The following table outlines cash dividends paid per common share in 2014, 2013, and 2012. Dividends paid per common share have been restated to reflect the

Description of Capital Structure





Our authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series, and an unlimited number of common shares. As at
December 31, 2014, no preferred shares and 93,836,258 common shares were issued and outstanding. All references to common shares and pricing information presented in this Annual Information Form have been adjusted to reflect the Companys
two-for-one share split effective November 14, 2014.

Preferred Shares

Preferred shares may be issued in one or more series. The board of directors determines the number of shares and the rights, privileges, restrictions, and
conditions attaching to each series. The holders of the preferred shares as a class are not entitled to receive notice of or to attend any shareholders meeting and are not entitled to vote at any shareholders 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 pari passu with
each of the 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. Preferred shares as a class rank ahead of common shares with
respect to entitlement to dividends and distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Stantec.

Common Shares

The holders of common shares
are entitled to receive, as and when declared by our board of directors, dividends in such amount and in such form as our board of directors may from time to time determine. Holders of common shares are entitled to receive notice of and to attend
all shareholders meetings. They will have one vote for each common share held at all such meetings, unless the meeting is only for holders of another specified class or series of our shares who are entitled to vote separately as a class or
series.

Common shares rank behind preferred shares with respect to entitlement to dividends and distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of Stantec.

Preapproval Policy

The Audit and Risk Committee must preapprove the audit and nonaudit services performed by the independent auditor to ensure that the provision of
those services does not impair the auditors independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received general preapproval, it will require specific preapproval by the Audit and Risk Committee. Any proposed
services exceeding preapproved cost levels will require specific preapproval by the Audit and Risk Committee.

|A. | Overview and Purpose
|-- | --------------------

The Audit and Risk Committee is appointed by, and responsible to, the board of
directors. The committee approves, monitors, evaluates, advises, and makes recommendations, in accordance with these terms of reference, on matters affecting the external and internal audits, risk management matters, the integrity of financial
reporting, and the accounting control policies and practices of the corporation. The involvement of the committee in overseeing the financial reporting process, including assessing the reasonableness of managements accounting judgments and
estimates and reviewing key filings with regulatory agencies is an important element of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. The committee has oversight responsibility for the performance of both the internal auditors and
the external auditors. The committee also ensures the qualifications and independence of the external auditors. The committee has oversight of the corporations compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

It is not the duty of the committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the corporations financial statements are complete, accurate,
and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.



|B. | Authority and Responsibilities
|-- | ------------------------------

The Audit and Risk Committee shall:

|C. | Membership
|-- | ----------

The members of the committee shall be composed of a minimum of three independent directors,
appointed by the board, all of whom must be financially literate as defined under the rules of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and applicable Canadian securities laws. At least one member shall have accounting or related financial
management expertise and be an audit committee financial expert as defined in SEC regulations. For greater clarity, the board has adopted the definition of independent director as set out in Multilateral Instrument 52-110 of the Canadian Securities
Administrators. The chair of the board of directors shall be an ex-officio member of the Audit and Risk Committee, in addition to the minimum number of required independent directors.

The chair of the committee shall be designated by the board. Attendance by invitation at all or a portion of committee meetings is determined by the committee
chair or its members and would normally include the chief financial officer of the corporation, representatives of the external auditor, the internal auditor, and such other officers or support staff as may be deemed appropriate.
