Welcome

Comprehensive Planning and Collective Deliberation.

Sanala Planning is an Indigenous-owned company using planning to support Indigenous self-determination for the well-being of all.

Sanala Planning was previously known as Alderhill Planning Inc.

Welcome to Sanala Planning, where "comprehensive planning and collective deliberation" are at the heart of what we do! We love planning and engagement projects of all scales and time frames – whether it's a one-day community gathering, a year-long strategic planning process, or a multi-year, multi-stakeholder joint visioning project. With team members spread across the beautiful lands of so-called British Columbia and Alberta, we offer both virtual and in-person services. Let's embark on an exciting journey of planning, growth, and collective impact together.
