Mediation

We are qualified mediators with the Alternative Dispute Resolution Institute of Canada. Using the mutual gains approach, including joint fact-finding and other powerful collaboration tools, we help parties to bridge differences, better navigating through disputes and conflicts.

We specialize in sustainable development, natural resource challenges, public policy and company-community engagement. We aim to help parties address public disputes more constructively, improving relationships and building trust.

Our mediators work with parties to:

• Act as an objective third party that all actors can talk to
• Design and facilitate a process that all parties help to shape
• Use joint fact finding to foster shared understanding of facts and technical information, and support learning
• Use shared understanding of facts to generate new options for moving forward
• Develop respectful relationships
• Craft clear agreements that include implementation and follow through
