Consultation is an opportunity to participate in meaningful discussion that allows for the exchange of information regarding a particular project. It is an integral component in any successful project and should take place very early in the planning phases of any project. Consultation can occur in the form of public meetings, one-on-one discussions, or project site visits, and may include interested parties such as concerned citizens, agencies, interest groups, Aboriginal communities, etc. Consultation is important in the success of any project. Lack of consultation can result in resistance, negativity or criticism toward a project. Effective and meaningful consultation is a transparent process that informs interested parties, and lets them know what is happening, why it is happening and how it will happen. It also provides an opportunity to obtain feedback and help identify any problems or impacts that can be resolved early in the project planning phases, allowing for better decision making overall. The experienced staff at Oakridge Environmental Ltd. provide services that allow for a successful and seamless consultation process. We act as a facilitator and provide a neutral line of communication between the proponent and the interested parties, while providing technical expertise on solutions for potential impacts or concerns. It is our mission to ensure that the proponent and interested parties are kept informed about discussions and important decisions throughout the duration of the entire project.
