Founder and Certified Safety Professional, Kristian Martens, brings 20+ years of occupational health & safety, risk management, fire prevention, construction safety, education, human resource management, first aid (OFA-3), adventure guiding, regulatory compliance (WorkSafeBC, Cal-OSHA) and film production experience to our leadership.

Our name acknowledges and respects the diverse Coast Salish peoples upon whose unceded land we are privileged to live, learn, recreate, rest and film upon. A people rich in story, tradition, family and inspiration - where respect for creation and human flourishing are paramount. This reality animates our MISSION, aligns our VALUES and informs our SERVICES
