Our Services
Major Projects & Indigenous Partnership Engagement
Canada is moving to fast-track projects of national interest. The ones that move fastest have two things in common: a clear path through government, and real partnerships with the Indigenous nations and communities whose lands and futures they affect. We help proponents build both, from early strategy through approvals and into construction.
Major projects & Indigenous engagement
Major Project Approvals and Indigenous Partnership Support in Canada
Major Project Strategy & Approvals Pathway
We help proponents position projects for federal and provincial approvals, including the federal Major Projects Office and national interest designation, and coordinate engagement across departments so reviews move in step, not in sequence.
Indigenous Engagement & Partnership Support
Early, respectful engagement builds the trust that lasting projects depend on. We help proponents engage Indigenous nations and communities from the outset, and support the development of partnership, equity and benefit arrangements, working alongside Indigenous-led advisors and legal counsel.
Community & Stakeholder Engagement
We plan and run engagement with municipalities, landowners, industry and the public, so concerns are heard early and addressed before they become opposition.
Funding & Financing Pathways
We help proponents and partners identify and pursue public financing and funding programs, including federal and provincial Indigenous loan guarantee and equity programs.
Who this is for
Proponents of large infrastructure, energy, mining, transmission and trade-corridor projects, and Indigenous nations and development corporations partnering on them.
