We are a non-profit organization based on Vancouver Island that supports collaboration with a process-focused, outcome-oriented approach.

Our world contains complex challenges where solutions aren’t clear cut and competing priorities mean that many voices need to be heard. Experience shows us that collaboration is a valuable tool for achieving durable solutions that no one group could achieve alone.

About Us

Our principles & approach to success 

  • Support parties in building trust and productive relationships by ensuring all voices are heard and promoting compassion, empathy, and respect.

  • Begin by working on topics where people share a common objective. Learn how to find success with these and scale to further challenges

  • Acknowledge the interconnection of humans and their environment by involving a range of participants that bring Indigenous, local, and scientific knowledge to the table.

  • Co-develop processes that guide the group towards their defined outcomes. Hold the trust of all parties, allowing participants to focus on contributing substance to the discussions.
