Our story
Founded in 2024, in Calgary.
Bear Valley Solutions was founded in 2024. With deep experience across Indigenous relations, economic development, project and supply chain management, and the energy and industrial sectors, our team provides benefits beyond a transaction.
Based in Western Canada, Bear Valley Solutions Inc. provides expert Indigenous economic development, partnership, and strategic advisory services on behalf of our partners and clients. We help Indigenous communities advance economic and project development, and we guide companies in building Indigenous partnerships and entering or growing in the Canadian market. We have proudly partnered with multiple Indigenous Nations.
Mission
Shared Success for Communities and Clients Alike.
We integrate economic development priorities into everything we do. By aligning the capabilities of service providers with the unique strengths and priorities of First Nations communities, we create opportunities for employment, procurement partnerships, and joint ventures.
Our approach integrates Indigenous values, traditions, and protocols into every aspect of project planning and execution, so that outcomes are culturally respectful and lasting. For companies, that same approach is what makes an entry into the Canadian energy and industrial market hold up over time.
