The Compass Program
Tools for BC Forestry Contractors

Purpose-built for companies juggling crews, compliance, and incident risk without drowning in paperwork

Healthy crews + credible companies are the new competitive standard.

If you need systems that work in the truck, not the boardroom, this is built for you.

  • Forestry and silviculture contractors

  • Multi-crew operators and regional employers

  • Companies bidding on work where credibility, safety, and trust matter

  • Industry and government partners looking for field-usable, non-performative tools

The Compass Program is an ultra-low-touch system that generates workplace policy and operational tools—fast.

​

It saves admin hours, reduces incident risk, and signals safety and trust to licensees, land partners, and procurement teams.

​

Delivered asynchronously, so it doesn’t compete with field time.

This isn’t a loose bundle of tools — it’s a deliberately designed system that standardizes how crews, leaders, and employers handle people, pressure, and responsibility.

Each toolkit guides you step-by-step, as you build a practical, defensible approach to things like Indigenous partnership, crew culture, and conflict resolution.

There’s no homework. You don’t need to prepare or research ahead of time. You answer the questions based on what you know in the moment, submit, and the tool turns that input into a concise, editable policy you can actually use.

 

What you get is a low-touch, high-value framework that quietly raises the bar—on crew cohesion, professionalism, and company credibility—season after season.

How crews work together—and what’s expected day to day.

This toolkit helps you clearly define how people relate to the company, to each other, and to the land—before misunderstandings turn into issues.

How supervisors and leads handle people, pressure, and conflict.

This toolkit supports the people who set the tone on the ground—often without formal leadership training, but with real responsibility.

Translate legal & regulatory expectations into clear, realistic policies people can understand and follow.

HOW IT WORKS:

A simple, contractor-friendly model

  • Access the program through a secure online portal

  • Complete modules in any order

  • No gates. No tiers. No forced sequencing

  • Each module outputs a policy or operational artifact directly into your dashboard

  • A credibility badge unlocks once all four modules are complete

Pilot the Compass Program

​

We’re inviting a limited number of companies to pilot the tools & help shape the final system.

Members of the Cache project team are grateful to live, work, and be in relationship with people from across many traditional and unceded territories, covering all parts of the land known as British Columbia, Canada. We thoughtfully offer this acknowledgement recognizing that reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples' is a commitment we all share as Canadians. We are grateful to live on this land and are committed to reconciliation, decolonization, and building relationships in our communities and workplaces. Land acknowledgements are one small step towards reconciling the relationships between settlers and Indigenous Peoples, in Canada. Reconciliation is a current and ongoing process. Being mindful of our participation is another step on the path of healing.
