Meet Our Past Clients
Wrote Merlin’s first business plan and assisted with safety management, product tracking and shipping, and have been on retainer for approximately three decades, assisting as needed as Merlin continues to expand and grow. Extensive involvement in policy initiatives, proposals and addressing challenges as they arise.
Initially came up to deliver a week of community forestry lectures and a workshop. The next year I was brought up to assist the Islands Community Stability Initiative (ICSI) that involved all six communities (Indigenous and non-indigenous) on Haida Gwaii who were seeking a more sustainable economy to be developed on the islands. I worked effectively to connect with all community members, wrote some key articles and provided ongoing support for the negotiations that ultimately saw the ICSI Declaration signed by all communities.
Eshknam Cultural Resources Management Services (ECRMS)
Brought in to maintain, grow or shutdown ECRMS after it hit a rough stretch. Served as General Manager of the business as well as the Bare Trust that held it. I significantly turned around the business, and obtained clean audits for all six years he was involved. Significant consultation and engagement with the four Indigenous communities who own the business, multiple Traditional Use Studies for major projects, ongoing consultation for pipelines, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, BC Hydro, Telus, Mining and Forestry.
