Hi, I’m Jon Gudmundson, Director, Saskatchewan and Manitoba Region at Trace Associates Inc. (Trace). Since our inception, we have partnered with a broad range of power and utility clients across Canada. Our relationships are built on delivering timely, effective solutions that proactively manage risk and safeguard our clients from regulatory and public scrutiny. By bringing together Environmental Science, Engineering, and Management Consulting, we deliver stronger integrated projects while supporting positive outcomes for you and your stakeholders.

Our team of dedicated professionals is committed to helping you navigate complex challenges with confidence. Our work is backed by a strong reputation and longstanding relationships with regulators, helping ensure projects move forward smoothly, efficiently, and without unnecessary delays.

We understand the constantly shifting regulatory requirements and unique stakeholder considerations, especially with local First Nation communities. Our experts can evaluate and quantify risks to your project now and in the future, considering the potential for extreme climate events. We have experienced technical staff located across Canada, with the ability to provide responsive, local support wherever your projects take place.

Our Culture and Vision

what our clients are saying

“We like Trace. We like Ron, we like Nick, and we like the relationships we’ve built on our projects with them. They have a suite of services that cover the ecological and environmental, and they have demonstrated that they understand what needs to be done, aren’t doing unnecessary work, and they make sure it gets done. Ron told me that the Trace motto is to 'consult better.' This motto is reflected in the service they provide.”

Clark | Qualico Communities

“I appreciate Trace’s candidness, honesty, and straightforwardness. The communication is strong, they are always professional, and they stay on point. They’re good at what they do and are always available when I need them.”

Confidential Client

“Trace provides a level of personal service that we don’t get from other companies. We get straightforward, open communication with Project Managers, including frequent touch-points. Trace always does what they say they are going to do.”

Neil Reid | Midstream Energy Client

“I choose Trace because of their expertise and clarity on what they will deliver, and my trust in them. We share similar values of honesty and communication. They’re very thoughtful in what they do and their expertise is very appreciated. Nothing they do or say leaves you scratching your head.”

Warn Franklin | works with Ron at Trace

“I value our relationship with Trace and can see it continuing into the future.  Having a third party come in to do environmental inspections is very helpful and gives added focus on areas that might otherwise be neglected due to the busy nature of the business. Trace's expertise in the Environmental Consultant field helps keep NorSask on a path of continuous improvement. We very much appreciate the proactive approach that Trace takes to meet our needs.”

Kelly | NorSask
