Bill C-65 Aligned Specialist

Trained and experienced in harassment and violence investigations under the Canada Labour Code.

🧠

Trauma-Informed Approach

Mental Health First Aid trained — sensitivity and care in every interview and investigation.

"We get to the root of every matter."

When a complaint arises, the instinct is often to investigate internally. But internal investigations carry serious risks — perceived bias, legal vulnerability, and erosion of trust on all sides.

An independent external investigator eliminates these risks. Under Bill C-65 and human rights frameworks, independence is not just best practice — in many cases, it is a legal requirement.
