Introduction

 

Williams Consulting  has worked closely with numerous public, private, Indigenous, federal, provincial and territorial government clients on a large number of projects, including public and multi-stakeholder consultation, program evaluation, policy development and review, organizational review, quantitative database development, training, and research as well as project management services. Our clients have include First Nations (more than 225) provincial territorial organizations, tribal councils, Independent organizations, Chiefs of Ontario, Urban Indigenous Organizations, National Aboriginal Organizations, Health Canada, Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, international organizations  among others. This project list by no means describes the full extent of our work in and with Indigenous people, rather it provides a representative sample.

In addition, Williams Consulting has developed software on cloud technology to capture Health and Social Service programming information. Please see www.pathdms.ca for more information.
