Our Clients and Communities
This is one of the most grounded and insightful reports I’ve seen in a long time. You captured the voices of people who are often not in the room. That matters.
Councillor
Town of Okotoks
There’s a level of trust here that you don’t always see in reports like this. There’s a difference between consulting and truly listening—and this shows the latter.
Councillor
City of Lacombe
There’s real value here in how community voices were brought into the process. That’s not always easy to do with something as technical as housing.
Councillor
City of Lloydminster
This is exactly the kind of upstream thinking we’ve been talking about. It connects the dots between safety, inclusion, and well-being.
Councillor
Town of Innisfail
This feels like a real framework—not just aspirational language, but something we can use to guide our decisions. The policy feels alive—it reflects where we are now and gives room for where we’re going.
