About Us

Sisco is a consulting firm specializing in Indigenous community-based consulting.

We are based out of London, Ontario, which is situated in the Great Lakes woodland region of Turtle Island (Canada). This area has been home to many First Nations over time, including the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, and Lūnaapéewak who continue to live in this territory, as well as and Chonnonton (Neutral) peoples and Huron-Wendat.

Why Hire Us?

We approach our work with an unparalleled combination of respect, quality and impact.

We train and hire members of the communities with which we work.

We develop consumable products using Infographics and online tools.

No funding? No problem! We help underfunded communities and organizations to obtain the funding they need to pursue projects that will make an important impact in their communities.
