Feature Project:
Esk'etemc, a First Nation located 45 minutes outside of Williams Lake, B.C. has been fighting to win a Specific Claim over the loss of their water rights for decades.
They won $147 million in their settlement claim from the Federal Government of Canada. We were honoured to work with Kukpi7 and Council to share this powerful story of resilience, perserverance, and hope to Esk'etemc members and across Canada.

Partner/Community Engagement
Children's Health Foundation of Vancouver Island
Children's Health Foundation of Vancouver Island is a foundation which helps support families with children who have complex health challenges. The Foundation has been in existence for almost 100 Years.
​
We have had the distinct pleasure of working with the Foundation on several community engagement projects, including a project that tapped into the insight of their community partners and stakeholders across the island to better understand how the Foundation could support families more upstream, before they are in dire need of support.
​
These projects have all helped to amplify the impact of the Foundation and its remarkable work.
Community Engagement
WorkBC & the City of Merritt
WorkBC and Community Futures Nicola Valley spearheaded a Thriving Communities project with the City of Merritt to ask strategic questions of local citizens to find out what was on the minds of local workers and business leaders.
​
We developed the strategy, implemented all community engagement activities, and crated a clear report of recommendations. Information was used to develop a labour market study to pinpoint potential gaps and uncover innovative opportunities.
A suite of branded projects were created to support the work including posters, reports, invitations, ads, PowerPoint templates, and social media graphics.
Community Engagement
Kelson Group - City Gardens
Kelson Group had a big vision: to develop an entire city block (and a bit) in downtown Kamloops. When looking for approvals from the City of Kamloops, Kelson Group know it would be imperative to engage the community to share details of the development, seek their feedback, letting the City of Kamloops know what had been done to engage the public, and any changes made as a result of input.
​​
The community engagement strategy was developed by our team in collaboration with Kelson Group to seamlessly design and implement the project. The feedback provided Kelson Group with ideas and insight to incorporate into their project, and successfully receive their development permit, and subsequent building permit.​

Communications Strategy
Forest Enhancement Society of BC
Forestry is one of the province of B.C.'s most important sectors providing economic, social, and environmental benefits British Columbians rely upon. The challenge is that much of the work is often unseen as it happens primarily away from where people are.
​
We have worked in collaboration with the Forest Enhancement Society of BC (FESBC) to develop and implement their communications strategy. This has included all public relations, reports, videos, and delegations. The communications work we do builds social licence for FESBC and their project partners, showing the important work of forestry to manage, protect, and enhance one of B.C.'s greatest natural resources.

Communications Strategy
Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation
The Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation wanted to refresh their communications strategy. The organization has been funding habitat conservation projects throughout British Columbia for 40+ years.
​
First, we worked with the team at HCTF to engage stakeholders to better understand perceptions of the organizations and preferred methods of communication and future engagement.
​
This information helped develop a strategy based on knowledge and insight from the very stakeholders HCTF seeks to communicate with, creating a strategy based on common sense and clearly defined outcomes. We look forward to continuing to support this organization's efforts.
Crisis Communications Strategy
Day One Society
Day One Society has worked with our team for many years. We helped them with a name change from Kamloops Society for Alcohol and Drug services to Day One Society, and have developed a communications strategy for them, including a crisis communications strategy.
​
The team at Day One Society know, as do other organizations we work with, that a crisis may arise during the course of operations. If you have a crisis communications strategy ready to go, you can be clear in your communications with your stakeholders and provide the clarity people need in a crisis to know what the next steps are.
​
This kind of work is so valuable and creates greater confidence for senior leadership and Directors of Boards when a strategy like this is put in place.
