yOU HAVE A PROJECT

wE HAVE A PLAN

At EdgeEffects we don't just build plans, we build relationships, processes, and effective strategies for community and resource developments. Every client has different needs, and we provide specialized solutions to meet them. Our work is grounded in data, and strengthened by collaboration with clients and the communities they represent. 

Our Services

We help communities prepare for population growth and future development through extensive background research, engagement, and plan design by encompassing values, visions and goals for existing and future aspirations.

Community Planning

We believe that our work must be community driven and be carried on long after a project is complete. To accomplish this, we provide capacity building through specific community focused programs from on-the-job training to classroom style instruction.

Capacity Building

We collaborate with expert negotiators to provide technical advice on matters that are important to you. Our work provides the basis for negotiating agreements that meet the needs and requirements of the clients we serve, while maintaining expectations and effective communication with government and project proponents. 

Negotiation 

We plan for land and how you use it. Land use planning may be stand-alone, or as an extension of community planning. Our work considers best fit between existing and proposed land uses by identifying potential conflicts between different interests to provide balance between development needs and environmental management.

Land Use Planning

Human activity inherently impacts the environment from projects like natural resource extraction. We can help plan for that.  Our goal is to understand benefits and potential impacts to communities and regions to develop strategies for effective participation in economic benefits, while maintaining and protecting important and unique natural and cultural landscapes.

Environmental 
Planning

More than just mapping. We create useful data, analyze it, and show you how to make sense of it. We integrate Traditional Knowledge, biophysical and local information to support decision-making and consensus building outcomes.

GIS Modelling + Analysis

Most development projects require regulatory approvals. We can help navigate through the requirements and provide management and decision-making support throughout the project life cycle from inception to environmental approvals, and closure plans.

Environmental Management

Have a land development project, such as housing, recreation, or commercial facilities? Our focus is to provide First Nations with effective planning from project design to implementation by understanding needs related to community growth and sustainability.

Development

Is that the right place for this? Through use of GIS, we are able to provide decision-making support on most suitable locations for developments, based on multi-criteria evaluation of social and environmental components for local and regional landscapes.
