We are experienced with the elements of consultation and negotiation that make land-related interactions more just, successful and meaningful for Indigenous peoples. This justice increases the potential for success for project proponents as well.
We are expert facilitators in the area of cultural value exploration and inclusion. Getting to the heart of the values that are the foundation of concerns and interests can create strong, resilient relationships.
Bridgeway Consulting excels in cross-cultural consultation: understanding Indigenous rights, values and interests, understanding impacts and cumulative effects to rights and culture, and developing accommodation solutions including mitigation and compensation.
Our multi-disciplinary experience with domestic and international consultation law and practices allows for strong solutions.
We are able to navigate the often complicated and differing sets of guidance from documents such as UNDRIP, ILO169, IFC Guidance notes and other regulatory guidance.
Experience with regulatory and permitting processes, including EA and Mine Development permitting.
We have worked with numerous Indigenous and Aboriginal communities throughout British Columbia, Canada and the world on consultation and negotiation initiatives
