About Fidelis Resource Group

Fidelis Resource Group was formed by key contributors to a study by the government of British Columbia, who sought to understand whether a waste management system could be created that would reduce waste and be more ecologically friendly.  We found it could.

Fidelis has unique skills, processes and tools, partnerships and methods, focused on sustainable planning and implementation of infrastructure for communities.  While our main focus is resource recovery from waste, we provide a wide range of other services and skills:

  • Energy & engineering.  Assessment of energy optimization and recovery for industry, business and communities.  This includes assessment and planning for energy optimization, resource recovery from waste and related oversight.  Example: Quesnel electricity and heating project, where energy will be scavenged from a pulp plant and distributed using a district energy loop through the City of Quesnel, British Columbia.  For the Quesnel Economic Development Commission (Fidelis in association with Farallon Consultants Ltd).
     

  • Ecological & environmental.  Assessment, planning and implementation of ecological systems for government and landowners, including management of regulatory processes and executive advisory services on policy.  Example: For Windmill West Developments, Dockside Green creek design, planning and implementation.  This award-winning LEED Platinum project has at its heart a designed creek which polishes water recovered from the sewage treatment facility, located underneath the creek (Fidelis in association with Aqua-Tex Scientific Consulting Ltd).
     

  • Governance & policy.  Strategic advisory on regulatory, governance and policy aspects specializing in sustainability.  Includes policy review and assessment, facilitation and environmental advisory services.  Example: Integrated Resource Recovery Barriers Report for the BC Ministry of Community and Rural Development.  Assessed the policy, regulatory  and statutory framework to identify where improvements could be made to enhance resource recovery.

Our key personnel have over 180 years' combined specialised training, qualifications and work experience.  In summary:

  • Jon O'Riordan - a former BC Government Deputy Minister of Sustainable Resource Management , Jon leads the team and contributes to governance, legislative and process aspects;
