Inspired by the Hul’q’umi’num’ word Quw’utsun, meaning “to warm one’s back in the sun,” our work honours the land and people of the Cowichan Valley. Based at the foot of Shquw’utsun (Mount Tzouhalem), Warmland Strategy reflects founder Katherine Devine’s deep commitment to local leadership, community-building, and practical progress grounded in respect.
 

We know your time and resources are limited. While you're delivering day-to-day excellence, big-picture work—like strategic planning, facilitation, survey research, grant writing, and organizational design—can lose momentum without the right support. That’s where we come in.
 

With a grounded, collaborative approach, we help you uncover the real challenge, define the best path forward, and implement solutions that actually work. Whether you're meeting funding requirements, assessing feasibility, engaging stakeholders, or simply trying to get something meaningful off the ground—we keep the work moving and the purpose clear.
