From Obligation To Opportunity

Integrity-based and multi-disciplinary solutions for municipalities, Indigenous communities, developers, and linear infrastructure operators to meet their unique engagement, planning, and development needs.

ProACTIVE Planning acknowledges and respects the many traditional territories and Treaty homelands across Turtle Island where our work takes us and where our team members work remotely.
​We acknowledge with tremendous gratitude that ProACTIVE Planning's headquarters are situated on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut'ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
