Past Work Portfolio
Over two decades of experience creating resilient spaces.
SpruceLab Inc. builds on over two decades of Principal Sheila Boudreau’s professional work experience, covering a wide range of public realm projects, working in both the private and public sectors. Regardless of people, time, or place, there are constant themes that run through this work: civic scale, designing with nature, biodiversity, and healthy communities.
Training
Workshops on Indigenous awareness and green infrastructure designed to suit your needs.
We believe in building capacity in people and communities through the work that we undertake. Working with our clients and partners, we create specialized training events and/or workshops that help achieve long term social and environmental goals.
Advising
Sometimes all you need is professional advice.
We welcome all opportunities to provide professional planning and landscape architecture advice to support Indigenous and community place-based initiatives. By being actively involved in environmental and reconciliation efforts, we aim to contribute directly to a healthy future that respects Mother Earth for all.
Our volunteer services include mentoring Indigenous youth and young professionals, to offer meaningful experiential learning opportunities, with the intent of improving diversity, equity and inclusivity, and decolonizing professional practice.
