Associated Environmental Consultants Inc. and Associated Engineering (collectively known as Associated) have been building a great relationship with Lake Babine Nation over many years. Lake Babine Nation is the third-largest Indigenous band in BC. The relationship with Lake Babine Nation has stemmed from a collaboration to address some of the Nation’s community needs. With the support of Indigenous Services Canada, Associated has and continues to provide environmental consulting and engineering services at three Lake Babine Nation communities, Fort Babine, Tachet, and Woyenne. These services include contaminated sites assessment, facility decommissioning, remediation, waste management, wastewater treatment, roads, and building projects.

This presentation provides an overview of some of the work Associated is doing for Lake Babine Nation, with a focus on relationship building: relationships with the First Nation client, relationships with the community members, and relationships with the internal team of varied professionals.
