“Monica is an excellent strategic thinker and project manager who brought much needed capacity to our team. She took full ownership of the project, gathering and analyzing stakeholder perspectives to build the foundation for collaborative and constructive dialogue. Working seamlessly with our internal team and external experts, Monica designed and facilitated a workshop that ensured full participation and developed a meaningful final report that we are using to advance environmental, community and economic sustainability in northwest Manitoba. Her energy, professionalism and commitment to our success from beginning to end made her a valued team member.”

TNC Canada, the Canadian affiliate of the world’s largest conservation organization, needed capacity to move forward on a critical opportunity in a priority region, Manitoba’s boreal forest. Their goal was to bring together a range of rights holders and stakeholders to explore possible futures for a sustainable forest sector, amid rapid changes on this landscape.
To support TNC Canada, we led the planning and implementation of a multi-stakeholder workshop and final report. This included full planning of the workshop, interviewing rights holders and stakeholders, preparing briefing materials, facilitating during the workshop, and designing and writing the final report. The report put forth long-term goals for northwest Manitoba's forest sector, opportunities and pathways for advancing those goals. It is currently being used to help advance a sustainable forest sector in northwest Manitoba, as well as inform TNC Canada’s strategies.
