"Bryan supports MR Consultants on numerous land development and transportation projects. I value his attention to detail and ability to clearly present complex information, especially on short notice and when deadlines are firm."

Bruce MacLeod, President MR Consultants Inc.

"Bryan joined our team - with seamless transition - to effectively support the University's recruitment efforts in both southern Ontario and rural Manitoba. His insights and experience resulted in powerful key messages presented to several thousand high school students, a great number of whom indicated their strong interest in attending UWinnipeg; we are pleased with the strong number of resulting applications."

Dr. Andrew Lockery, Director of Enrolment Services The University of Winnipeg

"Bryan has assisted us with the preparation and ongoing refinement of a focused and measurable marketing strategy, as well as with the implementation of its communication and fundraising elements. We appreciate his external perspective as part of our internal team, as well as his ability to creatively interpret and act on our goals in support of habitat conservation in partnership with private agricultural landowners."

Ken Gross, Senior Agrologist Ducks Unlimited Canada

"Bryan has a great deal of empathy and sensitivity to rural life and rural people. He has gained this through direct experience while living on a trapline in Northern Manitoba and on a farm in Agri-Manitoba. In fact he left my employ to gain these experiences, a move that I admired and that reflects well on Bryan's character and personal fortitude."

Robert D. Sopuck, Sustainable Development Director (ret.) Province of Manitoba

"Perhaps most importantly, Bryan showed sensitivity in his approach to the project. He understood the subtle dynamics of working effectively with elected officials, of dealing with the public, of working with departmental representatives. As well, he worked very cooperatively with other staff involved in the project, constantly offering his assistance wherever the need would arise. He is a great team player."

Gerald H. Couture, Plan Winnipeg Review Manager The City of Winnipeg

"Bryan has a demonstrated ability to work unsupervised, and is prepared to see a project through to completion. His enthusiasm and insight makes him a pleasure to work with and he carries with him a unique and sound understanding of what it takes to properly manage a watershed. In surveying local citizens he was able to effectively deal with the public, even in somewhat delicate situations."

Les McEwan, President Deerwood Soil and Water Management Association

"Bryan's ability to analyze public policy questions from a wide variety of relevant perspectives makes him a valuable asset in Manitoba and on the Prairies, particularly in the area of water policy. His firm also has a strong communications capacity - delivering quality work within tight timeframes."

Peter Holle, President Frontier Centre for Public Policy

"I must say, that in the area of public relations, you cannot beat the ability of Bryan to meet, speak, or make presentations to anyone in the area of conservation. He seems to know every contact in the business and keeps himself up to date on the issues. He is very innovative and enthusiastic in this field. He also makes excellent use of his knowledge of computers to facilitate record keeping, business management, and accounting."

Brian Wilkinson, Director (ret.) Cooks Creek Conservation District

"Bryan has demonstrated strong organizational skills - from planning our meetings, to handling correspondence and policy work, to providing logistical, fundraising, and promotional support for our annual conference. He worked very hard for the entire organization and has been very valuable to me."

Donald J. Alexander, Chair (ret.) Manitoba Conservation Districts Association

"I found Bryan to be thorough in his work, self motivated, good at sorting out priorities important to our members, and able to initiate projects on his own. He is a capable speaker and good at public relations. He relates well to people from varied backgrounds. His ability to solicit and secure funding from the private and public sectors was an asset to our organization."

William T. Fitchett, Director (ret.) The International Coalition for Land and Water Stewardship

"Bryan pays attention to details and works hard to reach objectives, well beyond the standard requirements. He communicates very effectively both verbally and in written form, and he interacts well with people in a wide variety of situations. Bryan has demonstrated his ability in developing partnerships and allies with individuals and agencies who can further a cause or initiative. He played an integral role in raising funds for projects and operations and in satisfying the requirements of our funders, while still carrying out the mandate of the International Coalition for Land/Water Stewardship."

R. S. "Bud" Oliver, Mayor (ret.) The City of Selkirk

"Bryan came into the position with some very clear ideas about the direction and objectives of the Urban Green Team. He understood the potential of the program and worked very hard to maximize results. Bryan learned how to work within a defined administrative system and learned a great deal about managing people. Our program was a success in very large part to Bryan's efforts. He made my job a lot easier. I hope he decides to return next year."

Tom Glenwright, Manager of Youth Programs Manitoba Education and Training

"Bryan's Masters thesis was a strong combination of good science and rigorous thinking - a piece of work that has a high degree of utility. The fact that he was able to calculate the dollar value of water management to local communities provided local decision makers with a powerful tool to make cost-effective decisions."

Robert D. Sopuck, Sustainable Development Director (ret.) Province of Manitoba
