Stantec Inc. Annual Information Form

February 26, 2014

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 and forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, 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 of 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 of this Annual Information Form, and (c) the discussion of our goals and of our annual and long-term targets and expectations for our regions and business operating units in the Core Business and
Strategy and Outlook sections of our Managements Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2013,which is incorporated by reference in this Annual Information Form (as described on page 9) 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 2014 and beyond, our strategies or future actions, our dividend policy, our targets, our 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 in understanding our financial position as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented in this report. 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 document 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, 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 | 
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------- | 

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

| | · |  | 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 which are difficult to
predict.

Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian and US economies in 2014 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, 2013, filed on SEDAR
at www.sedar.com, and incorporated by reference in this Annual Information Form.

For additional information regarding material and known risks and assumptions,
see the discussion on pages M-65 to M-73 and M-76 to M-77 of our Managements Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2013, which is incorporated by reference.

We caution that various factors, including those discussed in our Managements Discussion and Analysis, and others,
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 report represent our expectations as
at February 26, 2014, 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, whether 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 2014. However, subject to legal requirements, we may change this practice at any time at our sole discretion.

General Development of the Business





2014





The following information highlights the general development of our business for the current financial year.

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. We believe this will create stronger accountability for our
leadership team and will result in more focused growth. We expect this will allow us to better support our clients and maintain the core elements of our strategy.

For additional information about our organizational realignment for the upcoming year, see pages M-7 to M-8 of Stantecs
Managements Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2013 (incorporated by reference in this Annual Information Form and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com).

Acquisitions

In
January 2014, we acquired the following firms:

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, 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, 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 (chief executive officer) 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 2013 and 2012 for Consulting Services:



|                    |  |               |  |         |  |               |  |    
|------------------- |  | ------------- |  | ------- |  | ------------- |  | ---
|                    |  | 2013          |  | 2012(1)
|Unit                |  | (millions C$) |  | %       |  | (millions C$) |  | %  
|Consulting Services |  | 2,236.4       |  | 100     |  | 1,870.3       |  | 100

| | (1) | 2012 has been restated due to the adoption of IFRS 10 and 11. | 
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | 

Our operations are organized into three main geographic regions: Canada, the United
States, and International. In 2013, we earned 58% of our gross revenue in Canada, 39% in the United States, and 3% internationally. Our international offices are in the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and India. For additional
information regarding our core business and strategy, see our 2013 Managements Discussion and Analysis pages M-3 to M-8 (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.

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 for 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 either 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, 2013, we had approximately 13,200 staff: about 7,600 professionals, 4,100 technologists and
technicians, and 1,500 support personnel.

We are a knowledge-based organization and always seek talented and skilled
professionals for all of our specialized business units. Since the supply of qualified candidates is sometimes limited, 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.

Reorganization

Effective at the close of business on December 31, 2011, Stantec Consulting Corporation (SCC), a Delaware corporation,
was merged into its affiliate, Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (SCSI), a New York corporation. SCC was the successor entity of the acquisition of and merger with SECOR International Incorporated in 2008. The purpose of the merger of SCC and
SCSI was to further consolidate and streamline our US operations.

Social and Environmental Policies

Stantecs Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) Program

Stantec is committed to continual improvement in the area of health and safety in all aspects of its business. Led by our vice
president, People + Practice, the HSE team includes three directors: senior director of HSE, director of HSE Operations, and director of HSE Practice Development.

The team also includes regional coordinators, more than 100 office coordinators, two dedicated workers compensation
claims coordinators, and systems and administrative support staff.



|   |  |

The HSE programs objective is to protect our employees from injury and to
prevent property loss and environmental damage by aligning work processes, systems, and behaviors so that our employees have the necessary guidance and knowledge to complete every task safely, every time. To achieve this objective, the HSE team
develops practices and tools that protect employees. We not only meet or exceed government regulations, we also strive for best practices.

The foundation of the program is a Hazard Recognition and Control (HRAC) process that enables employees at all levels to
establish a healthy and safe work environment. Projects begin with the development of a Risk Management Strategy form that identifies potential risks associated with the project site. Based on these risks, additional controls may be implemented. For
example:

| | · |  | A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) can be completed for identified risks. A JSA breaks down a task into component steps that identify associated hazards and controls. | 
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 

| | · |  | A site-specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) may be prepared for each site. All employees, subcontractors, and visitors to applicable sites are required to review and adhere to the health and safety guidelines
presented in the HASP. | 
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 

Through these formal strategies, along with timely risk assessments, the HRAC process
empowers employees to proactively identify hazards, assess risks, eliminate or control risks, and stop work (when required) to prevent injury and illness, environmental and property damage, and other costly business interruptions.

The HSE team also supports the organization by

| | · |  | Maintaining approved health, safety, and environment procedures for many specific work tasks in the form of safe work practices | 
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 

| | · |  | Providing health, safety, and environment training and education; completing root cause analysis and evaluating lessons learned from recordable injuries and high potential incidents | 
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 

| | · |  | Coordinating case management following work-related injuries and illnesses to support an early and safe return to work program | 
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 

Due to the diversity of the Stantec organization, 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 particular region, business unit, client, or project.

Our Company HSE program is outlined in our corporate Health and Safety Policy, HSE Program Manual, and Safe Work
Practices. The program is communicated to employees through a comprehensive communications strategy that includes regular features in our Company magazine, information posted on the Companys intranet, eBulletins from senior leadership, signs
posted in offices, presentations, and workshops.

Stantec tracks lagging indicators (e.g., workers compensation
costs and total recordable injury rates) and leading indicators (e.g., site visits, file reviews, safety meetings, and worksite inspections) to further gauge the effectiveness of the program. The HSE team conducts internal audits to assist in
assessing compliance and to identify program strengths and opportunities for improving health and safety performance.

Independent (third-party) audits of the HSE program may also be conducted as necessary to obtain and maintain external
certification (e.g., a certificate of recognition). These audits are conducted regularly, often every three years, by an independent auditor. Audit results are documented and reported to the Joint Health and Safety Committee, the regional safety
coordinator, local leadership, and the HSE directors. The committee monitors corrective action, addresses deficiencies found during the audit, and facilitates preventive action when required. Responsibility for corrective and preventive action will
be assigned and recorded in a Health and Safety Action Plan.

ISO 14001:2004 Registration

To support Stantecs sustainability policyone that promotes environmental performance improvement and a reduction
in our environmental footprintwe developed and implemented a formal environmental management system (EMS). EMS is registered to the ISO 14001:2004 environmental management standard as of January 20, 2012. This ISO standard is recognized
internationally, audited annually by an external auditor, and requires leadership to

| |  |  | Establish environmental performance objectives (e.g., to reduce energy, resource use, and waste) | 
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 

| |  |  | 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. We do business in a way that meets current needs while
contributing to an environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable future. This commitmentat the heart of how we operate and deliver solutions to clientsis vital to our long-term success in achieving our vision.

We focus on areas where we can have a significant impact, including the following:

| | · |  | Building a leading sustainability consulting practice in the markets we serve 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 the organization in ways that are both personally and professionally relevant | 
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 

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

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

Stantec strives to achieve the following:

| |  |  | Environmental progresslowering 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engaging with stakeholders and supporting the communities we operate in | 
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 

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

International Operations

Risk Factors

For a review of the risks pertaining to our Company, please refer to our 2013 Managements Discussion and Analysis, pages
M-65 to M-73 (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 started declaring quarterly
dividends after that date. 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.

The following table outlines cash dividends paid per common share for 2013 and
2012:



|     |  |                                      |  |       |  |       |  |       |  |

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, 2013, no preferred shares and 46,576,132 common shares were issued and outstanding.

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 meeting of our shareholders 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. The 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.

Committee. Any proposed services exceeding preapproved cost levels will require specific preapproval by the Audit and Risk Committee.

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.
