Landsong Heritage Consulting

What Landsong Heritage Consulting does

Landsong Heritage Consulting Ltd. is a British Columbia-based professional services firm that delivers heritage resource management and archaeological consulting to industries, provincial and federal government ministries and agencies, Indigenous communities, and private landowners across the province. Founded in 1998 and based in Moberly Lake, BC, within a core gas development area, the firm conducts archaeological assessments (desktop summaries, overview and impact assessments, site excavations, and construction monitoring) to satisfy provincial Heritage Conservation Act and federal regulatory requirements, and supports community-led Traditional Land Use and Indigenous Ecological Knowledge studies. In 2024, the company transitioned to Indigenous ownership under West Moberly First Nations via Dunne-za Ventures Limited Partnership, with a board-led governance structure separating community politics from operations.

The firm's core technology stack centers on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for continuous heritage assessment support, complemented by internally developed permitting, reporting, workflow, and cost-tracking systems that provide real-time project results and information to clients. These proprietary operational systems, combined with province-wide archaeological permits held by staff, constitute the firm's primary technical and regulatory assets. Pre-qualifications on ISNetworld and ComplyWorks and COR_ESC EHS certification further position the firm for safety-conscious industrial buyers. Product breadth spans BC Archaeology Services, Indigenous Land Use and Environmental Support, Heritage Resource Training Programs, Regulatory Support Services, and internal GIS/Data Tracking capabilities, delivered through a team-based structure spanning field archaeology, project management, data quality, GIS, reporting, permitting, finance, and HR/EHS functions.

Landsong generates revenue through professional services fees tied to project-based engagements, with project costs estimated via desktop analysis and prior experience; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market model relies on direct enterprise engagement, long-term Indigenous community relationships, and regulatory working-group participation rather than broad marketing. Customer segmentation is vertical: industry clients (energy, infrastructure, resource development), government ministries and agencies, Indigenous communities, and private landowners. The firm operates with roughly 25 employees across specialized departments and is led by a CEO, COO, CRO, and CFO, supported by a board chaired by a West Moberly Corporate Alliance representative.
