🌾💧 Big things are happening on the Canadian Prairies! Our office is working for @iisd_org with Associated Engineering, and Green Analytics to create three practical implementation guides focused on: 🔵 Flood mitigation 🟠 Drought mitigation & water supply 🟢 Water quality Nature-based solutions work, whether at the community scale, in agricultural landscapes, or throughout entire watersheds. The evidence is clear. But they’re still not being used as much as they could be. Now we’re building a roadmap with six key pillars to help accelerate and expand natural infrastructure across the Canadian Prairies, and we want your input! 📝 Take the survey (link in the bio) and help shape the future of resilient water systems. The survey will be live until March 31, 2026.

What an incredible week to be engaged in deep winter site reconnaissance and visioning sessions for the Kenora All Nations Health project @anhpoht . Together, with our project partners, @kenorachiefs @diamondschmittarchitects @trophicdesign @tbt_engineering @lakeofthewoodsdistricthospital we walked the site, listened and observed. We shared ideas to develop vision into reality. Swipe to check out drone footage of our explorations of this incredible landscape.

Coldest site visit of 2026 🥶 When the temperatures drop, our work doesn’t pause; we just layer up! 🧣🧤 Tina and Jamie braved a -42°C morning at @uwinnipeg . Under a blanket of snow, we are re-imagining these upper courtyard terraces into revived people-focused spaces designed for comfort and connection, whether you’re studying or socializing. Looking forward to working with the university community and explore ideas such as green infrastructure, bringing nature into the upper building levels and strengthening their dynamic community spirit in the heart of downtown Winnipeg.

Happy Holidays from all of us at HTFC! ❄️ We got a little too into our work this year… so we turned ourselves into 3D models Check out the link in our bio to download 3D winter activity models featuring the HTFC crew, because even in the cold, we’re still designing, planning, and having fun. Our offices will be closed from Wednesday, December 24 at 12:00pm and will reopen on Friday, January 2 at 8:30am. We look forward to working with you all in the New Year!
