Our Services

Owner Representation plays a vital role in protecting and advancing Nation interests. It is critical to have trusted advisors providing unwavering support through the entire development process, ensuring that vision, financial and environmental performance, and Nation-building objectives are realized. 

 Sage brings a cross-section of expertise and a rights-based lens to the development of projects and partnerships that create stable, predictable, and inter-generational revenues and support pathways to economic independence and Nation building.

Government and industry practices have long failed to support genuine opportunity for economic participation by First Nations. Sage is an unwavering advocate for change and an able advisor in the creation of Nation-owned entities with the capacity to secure major contracts. 

 As development managers, we oversee the development process, coordinate the wider development team, and ensure that the Nation's decision-making is guided by all necessary subject matter expertise. 

We are honoured to facilitate visioning processes with leaders, elders, and youth members to establish shared visions for development grounded in culture and aligned with the Nation's needs, aspirations, and values. 

These processes establish a cohesive long-term vision for the development of Nation lands through thoughtful analysis of land use, transportation, infrastructure, housing, and cultural spaces, to create thriving and sustainable communities that meet the needs of present and future generations. 

 Experiential tourism development focuses on creating immersive and authentic travel experiences grounded in sharing First Nations cultures, heritage, and values while creating employment and economic development, breaking down barriers, and advancing the cause of reconciliation. 

 Public engagement and consultation planning and execution involve strategically creating and implementing inclusive processes to actively involve Nation members in decision-making, fostering transparency, trust, and collaboration between members and leadership. 

 Commercial feasibility and financing market analysis involve a comprehensive assessment of market conditions, potential revenue streams, and financial viability to determine the economic attractiveness of commercial opportunities, informing Nation decision-making regarding investment, financing, and profitability. 

Grant landscape navigation encompasses the strategic exploration and understanding of available grant funding opportunities and non-commercial financing sources, enabling Nations to navigate the complex funding landscape and identify suitable options to support their projects or initiatives.

 Effective government and stakeholder relations are central to ensuring access to opportunity and capital while breaking down barriers, enhancing cooperation, and supporting mutual understanding. Again, Sage brings a rights-based lens to challenging historical inequities and advancing Nation-building processes
