Our Services
indigenous community and organizational planning
Indigenous communities and First Nations are growing and taking on more responsibilities to meet the needs of their members at an unprecedented rate. The need for effective planning has never been greater.
Our community planning experts have worked with dozens of Indigenous communities and organizations across Canada to help define and achieve strategic visions, goals and objectives based on their values, traditions, culture, and capacity.
Our team’s decades of knowledge, experience, and expertise support communities and clients to create realistic and effective pathways to success. Our “Vision to Action” approach ensures that all aspects of planning is directly and clearly linked to the long-range vision and values of the communities and organizations.
Consultation and engagement
In Canada, virtually every infrastructure, resource development or industrial project occurs in Indigenous territories, and every successful project includes respectful and honest collaboration with Indigenous communities.
Our team supports and leads effective consultation and engagement between proponents and Indigenous communities on projects ranging from mining, energy development, transportation infrastructure, forestry, agriculture, and more.
By working within the concepts of Free, Prior, Informed Consent, and through the lens of reconciliation and UNDRIP, we assist proponents to build positive and respectful relationships, identify opportunities for mutual benefits, and help communities achieve their broader goals. Our approach helps projects achieve success, not just by satisfying legal requirements, but by building relationships, connection and understanding.
