Environmental Assessment (EA) and Strategic Planning

Environmental Assessment (EA) and planning are critical for ensuring that major projects—from infrastructure and energy developments to resource extraction are executed responsibly, sustainably, and with full regulatory compliance.

We specialize in navigating the complex federal, provincial, and Indigenous requirements across Canada to secure project approvals and foster positive relationships with stakeholders. Our expertise in EA helps de-risk projects, prevent costly delays, and build long-term social license to operate.

Core Service: Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA)

We conduct comprehensive ESIA for major development projects, specifically serving clients in high-impact Canadian sectors: Mining, Energy, Transportation, and Industrial Development.

We manage and execute the full ESIA process, delivering high-quality, scientifically robust documentation required for regulatory submission.

Our Expertise in ESIA Components

  • Impact Prediction: Identifying, predicting, and evaluating the potential environmental and socio-economic impacts of the project across all phases.
  • Mitigation & Management: Developing effective, measurable mitigation measures and creating comprehensive Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) to minimize adverse effects.
  • Cumulative Effects: Evaluating the project’s combined impact with past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future activities in the area.
  • Socio-Economic Factors: Analyzing impacts on community services, local employment, and cultural resources.

Specialized Planning and Regulatory Expertise

Our integrated approach goes beyond basic compliance to address the most complex elements of modern Canadian EAs.

  • Biodiversity Conservation and Management: Conducting detailed ecological baseline studies and developing strategies to meet federal and provincial requirements for species at risk.
  • Land-Use Planning Integration: Ensuring project alignment with municipal and regional land-use planning frameworks and providing guidance on permitting.
  • Indigenous Community Engagement and Traditional Knowledge: Facilitating early and meaningful consultation. Integrating Traditional Land Use (TLU) studies and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) into the assessment to create culturally sensitive and robust outcomes.
  • Regulatory Strategy and Liaison: Determining the applicable federal (Impact Assessment Act) and provincial EA requirements. Serving as a trusted liaison between proponents, regulatory agencies, and stakeholders.
