Principal
A licensed P.Eng and Project Management Professional, Lindsay brings more than twenty years of capital project delivery experience, including twelve years at Stantec and senior portfolio management roles at Civida. She advises on project governance, capital planning, and technical strategy for residential and mixed-use development.
Ratio brought a level of regulatory fluency we haven't seen from outside advisors. They knew the decision-makers, understood the sequencing, and kept us out of problems before they happened.
We had a mandate and a board that believed in it, but no clear path to execution. Lindsay and Gord helped us build the governance structure and the funding strategy simultaneously. We wouldn't have moved without them.
The grant application they prepared for us was the most thorough submission our funders said they'd seen in years. It showed — we were approved at first review.
Whether you are moving a development project through Alberta's approvals process or turning a nonprofit mandate into an executed program, tell us where you are. We will tell you honestly whether we can help.
