Professional HSE Services & Delivering Exceptional HSE Results For Our Clients

We are proud to be an indigenous owned organization providing HSE professionals that have in depth industry experience and are highly qualified. We have HSE Advisors, Supervisors and Managers with experience in all sectors of industry who can immediately add value to your operation.

We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.

Our President Tracy Anderson

Tracy Anderson is a dedicated Indigenous Métis woman whose family roots started in Manitoba and migrate up to Northern Alberta. Born and raised in Alberta, Canada, Tracy's deep-rooted connection to her Indigenous heritage has been the driving force behind her tireless advocacy for the most vulnerable members of society.

For over thirty years, she has been a beacon of hope and resilience, specializing in addressing issues such as domestic violence, addictions, mental health, and homelessness within Indigenous people in Alberta and British Columbia.

Tracy's career trajectory has seen her work in a variety of capacities, from frontline interventions to managerial roles, always guided by her cultural sensitivity and profound understanding of the intersecting issues affecting Indigenous individuals and families

In her experience Tracy has collaborated and worked with numerous Indigenous organizations, Including the Friendship Centre in Calgary as the Senior Housing Manager for Homeless Indigenous people in Calgary, Awo Taan Healing Lodge for Women, Alberta Government for placement of our Indigenous children with family in the Kinship program., as well as volunteering with food banks, and the Accreditation Council of Canada doing accreditations for Non-Profit agencies across Alberta.

Tracy was involved in the grassroots initiatives in forming a Metis Association in Maple Ridge, BC to develop innovative programs and services tailored to the unique needs of the Metis populations in surrounding areas. Stemming from that was nominated and accepted as the first Metis person to sit on the Seabird Island Health Council reviewing proposals for health funds and allocating to surrounding Indigenous organizations. She has facilitated countless workshops and support groups, fostered resilience and fostering a sense of belonging among those she serves.
