Our Services
With certainty, I can say that SISCO will be an asset to any team or community seeking research support. They are critical thinkers and collaborators that carry a great deal of understanding about First Nations relations between communities and within communities. SISCO is able to garner the respect and trust of advisory group and committee members they work with because of their care and due diligence in their work.

As an educational administrator in higher education, I have hired Ashley Sisco to support me in organizational planning and program evaluation projects where she completed inventories on best practices and facilitated community engagement processes in ethical and respectful ways. Ashley has always delivered high quality outputs in a timely fashion. I highly recommend her as a consultant.
Candace Brunette-DebassigeSpecial Advisor to the Provost (Indigenous Initiatives)Western University
We’ve had a great working relationship with Ashley & her team since 2015. They provide outstanding project support including proposal writing, project management, and final reporting. The outputs are always top notch! We have the utmost respect for Ashley’s commitment to build the capacity within the community, especially our youth, throughout her work.

Southern First Nations Secretariat
I have been working with SISCO since 2016 through the SFNS Economic Leakage Study Working Committee. The plan they helped us create is evidence driven, community-based and feasible. The SISCO team includes members of our local First Nation communities who are skilled and experienced. I would highly recommend SISCO as a firm for community research and planning

At every step of the way, the SISCO team was attentive to needs and sensitive to the uniqueness of our community. With every project SISCO took on, there was a component of community engagement, a true indicator of allyship and understanding of Anishinaabe culture.

SISCO has supported our team at AIAI on multiple projects since 2021, and we will continue to work with them. Their team is respectful, professional, and highly skilled in engagement, research, planning and facilitation. We can rely on the SISCO team to consistently produce high quality work, even under tight timelines
Geoff StonefishDirector of Operations
Sisco and Associates were an amazing consulting firm that engaged with all our participants during our university strategic business planning session here in Sudbury. They ensured all our Indigenous stakeholders were included as important voices from the community that provided planning guidance focused on Anishinaabe world views. We would love to work with them again in the future. Aapjigo gii nishin gii bi naakwenmaagewaad. Miigwech.

The National Reconciliation Program at Save the Children Canada had the pleasure of working with the SISCO team on the development of a strength-based assessment on emergency programming with First Nation, Inuit and Metis children. Throughout the process the team was extraordinarily thorough, timely and relationship focused. The team was solutions-oriented and creative in the face of unforeseen challenges in the process. Being part of a large International non-profit, we were impressed by how SISCO was able to maintain a local focus while navigating the realities and circumstances of globally-oriented organizations.

International Programs and Partnerships, Save the Children Canada
The Anishinabek Nation Economic Secretariat received professional and dedicated service from the team at Sisco during our work together. Their project team members were flexible and accommodating, knowledgeable, and prepared for events and meetings during our, at times, changing schedule. Working with them was great and we are satisfied with the products delivered.
Brandon ManualEconomic Development Coordinator
Anishinabek Nation
Sisco Consulting has provided tremendous value to our organization. From the first meeting on the project until the last, they have been extremely communicative, hard-working and always deliver on tight timelines and deadlines. They have an amazing team that provides a quality of work to none other and I would highly recommend working with Sisco Consulting on a project, exercise or strategic initiative that will benefit your organization in the long-term.

I can say with confidence that our community continues to thrive and progress with foundational documents with achievable and effective goals. I highly recommend SISCO and look forward to working with them again.
