Cultural planning + beautiful maps.
This is our art.

We work with communities to help track, assess and respond to Crown consultations.

We create maps as legal documents for negotiations and the courts.

We embrace open-source solutions and international standards.

We invest in long-term solutions that span generations.

We help to assess development to document and mitigate impacts.

Over 20 years of experience in supporting communities in cultural mapping and planning.

We use maps to articulate the values and visions of place.

Learn more about how these maps can help to further your community's interests.

Cultural maps as legal documents, for use in negotiations and litigation. Beautiful maps that rely on rigorous data.

We consolidate data from industry and the Crowns to get the full picture of what is happening on the land, and water.

We create outputs in formats that are accessible to a wide audience.
Including the world.

Maps can serve as legal documents, both in negotiations and in court.
Blank spaces on maps are often interpreted as ‘unused’ land. Rarely in our work do we come across areas that are not tied to a value. These values are simply not often heard.
Maps have become the language for negotiations. If you don’t have maps at the table, your voice will likely not be heard.
