Putting context into communities

How do we learn from and respect the past while supporting sustainable development?

It starts with discovering the truth of our past by assembling the jigsaw of history. Our team¡¯s archaeology, paleontology, architectural history, socio-cultural and economic consideration, and Indigenous services are uniquely positioned to protect and preserve the past while allowing for a responsible future.

With many voices involved in managing land resources¡ªfrom regulatory agencies to Indigenous communities to private landowners¡ªwe strive to understand and listen to each party¡¯s viewpoint. As detectives of history, we work closely with communities and clients to complete projects collaboratively and efficiently.

Our social-cultural and economic Ãë²¥ can assess, plan, monitor, and manage impacts on infrastructure and resource developments. Our deep understanding of Indigenous relations helps clients honor the past while providing respectful and thoughtful development.

We partner and consult with community members during assessments, opening a window into local knowledge so we can fully appreciate the significance of each site.

Context is everything¡ªhistory, community, the future. We find space for everyone to understand our history and work together for a better tomorrow

Our underwater archaeology team explores Canada¡¯s past

Our underwater archaeologists used a remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) to explore Canadian history for a dam project. Clients can save time and money¡ªwhile protecting historical assets¡ªby using an ROV.

For us, growing sustainably means investing in local communities¡ªin every way.
