The HEG has worked with multiple Canadian and International communities to develop and carry out social and environmental monitoring programs. A specific area of expertise is community-based monitoring with Indigenous communities.
Internationally, we specialize in assessing and managing social and cultural impacts of large infrastructure and natural resource extraction projects, such as oil and gas, mining, infrastructure and industrial development.
In Canada, we have completing programs that address a number of key concerns, including the environment, community health and wellness, and other cultural indicators.
Working with community leadership, elders, youth, technical specialists and general membership, HEG has facilitated the development of community visions for community-based initiatives, scopes of work, and business plans that identify both fiscal and human resources.
