Team

We’re a consortium of interdisciplinary consultants and creatives that are into many great things (titles not being one of them.) One or two words is just so limiting! We focus on Community Safety and Well-Being in a most fascinating and interdisciplinary way that considers all people and how they connect through place. We’ve pulled together an innovative collaborative – each of our Collaborative Consultants & Creatives dabble in so many cool and varied areas. To help you make sense of it all – we’ve identified each of our collaborators by their primary focus using our four pillars of: DiscoveryDiscoveryWe’re curious by nature. We inspire people to get out of theory land and rediscover their community through a lens of shared responsibility and integrated practices. As guides, we use Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and Health Impact Assessments (HIA) to inform our practice and to ensure a multi-disciplinary approach., Well-BeingWell-BeingWe use a holistic approach that considers the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual elements of community life. As a guide, we align our work with the Healthy Built Environment Alliance (HBEA); a relationship-building and knowledge exchange approach that intersect health and the built environment., CreativityCreativityDeliberate action and integration based on our collective discovery and a little imagination. We also integrate Placemaking, which brings together diverse people to improve a community’s cultural, economic, social and ecological situation through the planning, design, management and programming of shared use spaces. & TransformationTransformationMindful, empowered and sustainable outcomes that offer a new way for people to become active in their community planning, because people act; plans do not. We look upstream; working towards less dependence on reactionary, incident-driven responses and re-focusing efforts and investments towards the long-term benefits of prevention, social development and quality of life.. Even this approach (albeit, aligned) proved to be narrow – dang! Get curious, and start clicking on the images to discover more about one the largest Community Safety & Well-Being collaboratives in Canada that uses our signature transdisciplinary Full Spectrum approach as its holistic foundation. Full Spectrum is truly what grounds us in all the work that we do and reminds us to always consider the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual elements of community life.

Oh and, it’s mostly alphabetical, with the exception of some names that threw off the formatting (or, if you’re leading the entire team then you get top bill).

It’s more than a clever tagline, it’s our way of being.
