With Chéla Inc is a consulting collective specializing in ethical leadership strategies and delivery of them via special projects. 

Our aim is to transform consultation into community representation. 

Our flagship engagement process is backed by a scientific method that brings evidence to a sector that typically relies on community consultation to inform decisions. 

Classic community consultations often only gather the perspectives of those with the privilege to take part, offering those with literacy, computer/internet access, ample availability, English language ability, physical ability, or pre-existing engagement to take part and be heard, among other factors. And, reliance on the votes cast in general elections to presume universal representation on all issues and opportunities that arise for decision-making in one term for an elected official leaves out the chance to check-in with residents for their consent altogether. 

When it comes to development projects that have a likelihood of significant impact on the lives of residents, we can evolve from classic community consultations and presumed representation. And, we can do it exhaustively, accurately, and swiftly so as to confirm or decline consent up-front and justify with evidence the decision to develop, or not. 

Representing the consent to take on key development opportunities must evolve from classic consultation modes involving a minority of residents providing anecdotal inputs; and beyond the presumption of community consent being present in every vote cast by elected representatives. 


We value the voices of smaller communities and the perspectives of people who live in rural and remote settings. 

We want all people, regardless of the population density of their region or individual identity, to be counted and heard when it comes to decisions that impact them.

We do this as a passionate team of experts who are driven to ensure Canada can develop and respect residents as we do.
