What Legacy Environmental Ltd does

Legacy Environmental Ltd is a privately held, Vancouver-based full-service environmental consultancy founded in 2021, delivering assessment, permitting, and risk management services across Western Canada (British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon, Northwest Territories). The firm operates six integrated service lines: GIS services, contaminated site management, natural environment consulting, construction risk management and monitoring, environmental assessment and permitting, and marine services. Work is grounded in GIS mapping, Transport Canada certified drone surveying, and conventional environmental field methods rather than a proprietary software platform.

The team of approximately 21 named professionals is anchored by senior practitioners holding statutorily gated designations including Contaminated Sites Approved Professionals (CSAP), Registered Professional Biologists (R.P.Bio), professional biologists (P.Biol.), professional engineers (P.Eng), and agrologists (P.Ag.), with most senior staff carrying 15-25+ years of experience. Several team members have prior regulator-side experience at Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the City of Surrey, supporting direct relationships with the BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy.

The firm serves municipal and federal governments, utility and energy companies, private developers and landowners, and construction and development companies across infrastructure, land development, and resource and energy projects. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements quoted on a per-project basis, with disclosed individual project budgets ranging from $850K to $6.5M. The company is founder/management-owned, has no disclosed parent company, no external investors, and no public listing; distribution is conducted through direct client engagement and a LinkedIn presence, with no disclosed partnerships, awards, or M&A activity.
