We provide regulatory support to help communities stay organized, timely, and strategic in referrals and consultation workflows. Whether you need full hands-on support or a stronger internal system, we help you manage information, prioritize what matters, and respond in a way that protects community interests and strengthens the record over time. 

Our support can include:

• triaging incoming referrals and identifying key risks, information gaps, and priority issues 

• reviewing proponent materials and technical documents through a community lens 

• drafting or supporting response letters, information requests, and follow-up tracking 

• organizing consultation records, commitments, and correspondence for continuity across staff and projects 

• supporting internal briefings for leadership and staff so decisions are well-informed and well-documented 

This work is often supported by Trailmark software, which includes a dedicated referrals workflow to log incoming files, track deadlines, centralize communication, and maintain a clear consultation record. Communities can use Trailmark to manage this in-house—or hire us to run the process alongside your team when capacity is tight.

This work often supports impact assessment processes and draws on Indigenous knowledge, land use, and archival research when additional evidence is needed to respond effectively.
