About Us

Committed to Excellence, Progression, Customized Relations, and Community

To begin any introduction there must first be acknowledgements of where we live, thrive, and work. Ghost Bull Consultancy thrives on Treaty One Territory which are the homelands kept and nurtured by the Ininew, Dakota Oyate, and Anishinaabe Nations and Peoples. We acknowledge and are grateful to the Inuit peoples and relatives for caring for much of the northern lands , and acknowledge that we are also operating on the homeland of the Red River Metis Nation.

We also have to not only acknowledge our relations of the land, but the land itself. The water that gives life in the area we live and work in comes from Shoal Lake #40, who after decades of being under a boil water advisory recently lifted this for the community that provides us with life. We also acknowledge that the electricity you are using to reading this acknowledgement comes from a number of Treaty Territories in Manitoba and beyond. This organization could not be more proud to be thriving where we are today because of the work, balance, and way of being of our relations of these lands. 

​

Stemming from a love of helping and advising a large number of community partners, we decided that stepping into this line of work was not only needed but something we truly hunger for. Making a difference in the non-profit sector, government, and public service changes lives in ways sometimes we don’t see. Systems, services, and our sectors drastically change lives and many times the leadership and administration portion of our work makes some of the largest changes and impacts. That’s why this consultancy was born, and that’s how we help the change makers of the public and private sector explore ways to further balance their operations.
