About Us
We work in collaborative ways that respect cultural and community sources. It is our priority to work very closely with First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities, and to respect the cultural protocols that exist in each community.
We value insights and ideas that are rooted in Indigenous Knowledge and take great pride and care in our ability to work within and from this cultural perspective.
