HTFC is pleased to have worked with Parks Canada on the recent upgrades to the Boreal Forest Trail in Riding Mountain National Park. Open to the public in the fall of 2025, the boreal forest trail is a gently sloped and easy to navigate 1.2km loop trail that meanders thru wooded areas, Jackfish Creek and a boggy wetland, offering a joyful walk perfect for reflections in nature.

🌾💧 Big things are happening on the Canadian Prairies!

Our office is working for @iisd_org with Associated Engineering, and Green Analytics to create three practical implementation guides focused on:

🔵 Flood mitigation

🟠 Drought mitigation & water supply

🟢 Water quality

Nature-based solutions work, whether at the community scale, in agricultural landscapes, or throughout entire watersheds. The evidence is clear. But they’re still not being used as much as they could be.

Now we’re building a roadmap with six key pillars to help accelerate and expand natural infrastructure across the Canadian Prairies, and we want your input!

📝 Take the survey (link in the bio) and help shape the future of resilient water systems. The survey will be live until March 31, 2026.

Coldest site visit of 2026 🥶

When the temperatures drop, our work doesn’t pause; we just layer up! 🧣🧤

Tina and Jamie braved a -42°C morning at @uwinnipeg. Under a blanket of snow, we are re-imagining these upper courtyard terraces into revived people-focused spaces designed for comfort and connection, whether you’re studying or socializing.

Looking forward to working with the university community and explore ideas such as green infrastructure, bringing nature into the upper building levels and strengthening their dynamic community spirit in the heart of downtown Winnipeg.
