About us

Decades of experience. One shared purpose.

Empower people with the tools and expertise they need to succeed.

Why Waswanay exists

After more than three decades in fire service, Brent Sterling founded Waswanay Consulting for a simple reason: too many communities and industries are asked to manage serious risk without the resources or training to do it. Waswanay closes that gap — bringing high-quality training, planning, and guidance to the people who need it most.

We are proudly owned and operated by First Nations Peoples, based in Rama, Ontario.
