Human and Community Well-being
TWC undertakes socio-economic studies for proponents, Indigenous Nations, and government to assess positive and negative effects to local communities. We work with our clients to include the study of trade flows and the potential effects on regional economies, and efforts to communicate the costs and benefits of the project to different levels of government and to industry.
TWC studies the direct, indirect, and induced effects related to GDP, employment, labour income, and government revenues. Collected information such as education levels and types of businesses is useful in determining how to maximize local benefits.
Environmental Planning
The TWC’s Environmental Planning team has extensive experience implementing environmental management standards. We work with our clients to successfully develop and implement planning and mitigation strategies to meet regulatory requirements. Our multi-disciplinary team seeks to maximize efficiency while assessing risks and minimizing adverse effects. TWC’s regulatory experience helps to make sure your Project planning meets provincial and federal standards while providing the most up-to-date regulatory guidance.
Engagement
We work with government organizations, proponents, and Indigenous Nations to develop engagement plans. Our approach is focused on building and enhancing relationships between parties. We develop best practices and processes for engagement in a meaningful and respectful manner. At TWC, we are dedicated to building strong relationships and to work collaboratively to shape decisions. We help to facilitate dialogue and offer a wide variety of programs to enhance participation and establish sustainable working relationships.
Training
We assist our clients in maintaining high standards in environmental and cultural proficiency by providing training services. We develop and deliver specialized workshops to industry proponents and government organizations in cultural competency, and job training to Indigenous Nations to support employment opportunities in industry.
