PROJECTS

The depth of our experience working with Indigenous communities across Canada, rights-based organizations, and other community and corporate partners delivers significant value to our clients. We have a proven ability to foresee potential obstacles and develop solutions based on an extensive knowledge of Indigenous funding mechanisms, governance, and management structures.

In every project we undertake, we work as partners to create tangible and meaningful benefits for our clients.

We invite you to explore our featured projects below.

  • Skitkomiqey Nutankeyutikecik: Freshwater Molluscs & Development of an Indigenous Bioindicator

    To monitor the Wolastoq River’s health without violating Indigenous values, SOAR built a first-of-its-kind non-lethal research instrument for in-situ mollusc study. This project braids Indigenous Knowledge with engineering to track contaminants while keeping molluscs safe and alive for future generations.

  • Indigenous Knowledge Braiding for New Nuclear Development

    SOAR is braiding Wolastoqiyik/Wǝlastǝkwiyik stories and wisdom with technical data to support new nuclear developments. This approach treats Indigenous Knowledge as equal to Western science to ensure that future projects are rooted in holistic understanding of the land.

  • Indigenous Procurement Strategy (IPS) Development and Consultation

    SOAR led a province-wide consultation for a new Indigenous Procurement Strategy, directly empowering Indigenous businesses. This project provided 12 actionable recommendations to help remove historical barriers to provincial contracts, and foster local economic growth and sustainable capacity in Indigenous communities.

  • Bilijk Four Pillars Action Plan

    Following a historic settlement, SOAR partnered with Bilijk Wolastoqey to transform funding into lasting community wellness, language, culture and heritage. Through an inclusive engagement process, SOAR developed an Action Plan focused on two critical priorities – food security and cultural learning through a trail system.

  • Salmon River Energy Project

    Majority-owned by the Wolastoqey Nation, this renewable energy project is expected to power the equivalent of 43,000 New Brunswick homes. SOAR is braiding ancestral wisdom into the environmental review process, ensuring this project respects the land and provides a stable, long-term revenue stream.

  • First Nations Child and Family Services (FNCFS) and Jordan’s Principle (JP) Capital Funding Program Support

    SOAR is serving as Owner’s Engineer for CFS capital projects, turning federal funding into vital community infrastructure. By braiding technical oversight with Indigenous knowledge, we’re helping build healing houses and centres that ensure children and families receive equitable, culturally appropriate care in their own communities.
