Consultation & Governance

ENGAGING INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES

Community Consultative Processes.

Collective Spark Communications bridges the 'cultural' divide that may be a challenge while engaging members of Indigenous communities. Facilitating these processes requires a unique insight and a set of considerations that we understand. This can be accomplished by a variety of ways, from 'one-on-one' interviews, focus groups and primarily community outreach initiatives.

The success of positive relationship between government and private industry with Indigenous people impacts directly upon non-Indigenous interaction with the communities and their people; Indigenous peoples' relationship to and use of the land, their experience with historical and current treaty processes; and at times, the challenges of socio-economic, educational and health status of many Indigenous people both rural and urban.

Combined, Collective Spark provides the tools while working with government and industry to develop the strong moral, legal and mutually beneficial outcomes required. Achieving positive outcomes by opening successful avenues that fully engage Indigenous peoples in the economic decisions, policies and programs that may affect their lives.
