Arbutus Consulting has been a key resource to our BC Ferries team in the upgrading of over 40 ferry terminals in our service area. Laureen’s knowledge and understanding of First Nations, combined with her professional approach to constructive dialogue with stakeholders have helped us to secure the timely support we’ve needed to succeed with advancing the terminal improvements. Thank you Laureen!

"If you need something done - give it to a busy woman! Like Laureen, whose tireless work with the Minerva Foundation resulted in an excellent leadership program being developed for women in our communities. I love busy women!!"
