2005

Public policy, Indigenous and stakeholder engagement and multi-party collaborative process design.

I have a Masters degree in land use planning and have worked in the field of land and resource management policy and planning with various levels of government, aboriginal organizations, and non-government organizations since 1995. I have been a Mediator in since 2005 for a variety of civil disputes, including community, construction, employment and business. I also bring over 20 years of experience in community and stakeholder engagement to my practice with a focus on collaborative process design. My approach to dispute resolution is to empower parties to find long lasting solutions that will allow them to move ahead with their lives and work. My experience in multi-party settings with complex dynamics and issues in the land and resource management field has given me the opportunity to develop an effective collaborative problem solving approach to dispute resolution. I can provide a variety of dispute resolution approaches to fit the needs of clients and the nature of the dispute. This can include facilitation, strategic planning, interest-based mediation and peacemaking circle process.
