At Bluedot, we seek creative and collaborative solutions for environmental assessment and permitting that meet Project needs while showing respect and care for people, cultures, and the natural environment.

We are professional biologists who can see beyond the science by understanding context, integrating perspectives, and connecting the dots; after all, it’s ultimately humans that make the decisions in planning processes.

We believe that science is only as useful as our ability to communicate it and aim to ensure all that we create is clear and accessible to our intended audiences.

We lean into complexity and have a proven track record of providing strategic advice for projects with unprecedented levels of challenge and conflict.

Anchor Points

  • We integrate across disciplines and forms of knowledge.

    our environmental approvals are where science, strategy, and Indigenous knowledge coalesce through conscious attention, thoughtful communication, and heart-centred leadership.

  • We translate science in ways people can understand.

    language used in environmental assessments can often be alienating — highly technical with heavy use of jargon; we make science accessible by distilling it to the SO WHAT, making transparent the environmental effects and trade-offs associated with projects.

  • We care deeply about doing work in a good way.

    to us, working in a good way means taking the time to build relationships and earn trust, listening before speaking, and following through on our commitments. it involves showing up with heart, body, mind, and spirit - and creating a welcoming environment for others to do the same.

Compass Bearings

  • Collaboration

    We recognize the power and potential of working together and strive to build and unite teams that reflect diverse perspectives and skillsets.

  • Creativity

    We show up with intentional, courageous, and relentless imagination to ignite ideas that push boundaries and generate value for the clients, communities, and environments we work with.

  • Reciprocity

    We believe that we are in relationship with everything around us and it is our collective responsibility to cultivate and sustain connections between people and place.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Justice

We acknowledge that we work on lands and waters shaped by colonialism and ongoing inequities. We believe our work only has integrity if it helps shift power, opportunity, and resources toward communities who have been historically excluded, especially Indigenous Peoples whose laws and governance continue to shape these places.

In practice, that means we work to build a team and a culture where different lived experiences, identities, and ways of knowing are not just welcomed, but actively sought out and centred in our projects and decisions. We’re committed to anti-racism, decolonization, accessibility, and pay equity; to listening when we get it wrong; and to doing the ongoing work of repair and change.

DEIJ is not a side initiative at Bluedot: it’s part of how we choose projects, structure partnerships, and show up for each other, our clients, and the communities we serve.
