EDI is a 100 % Canadian employee-owned environmental consulting firm that focuses on living things and where they live—aquatic and terrestrial science.
EDI has operated in western and northern Canada for over 29 years and has built its reputation on the quality and expertise of its people—doing meaningful work with people we trust and respect. EDI commonly advises and supports projects during their entire development cycle—from start to finish—to facilitate timely and effective environmental risk management, planning and permitting, environmental monitoring, regulatory compliance and reclamation and closure. We provide practical, collaborative and cost-effective environmental consulting services through an approach we call Down to Earth Biology—finding practical ways to ‘do it right’.
In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, we acknowledge that we live, work, and gather on the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, including the Blackfoot Confederacy—comprising the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations—as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina Nations.
This land, known as Moh’kinsstis in the Blackfoot language and encompassing what is now Districts 5 and 6, is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3, within the historical Northwest Métis homeland.
We recognize and honour the deep connection these Nations have to the land, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share in its stewardship.
As we continue our work, we commit to learning from Indigenous knowledge systems, uplifting Indigenous voices, and fostering relationships rooted in equity, understanding, and reconciliation.
