Areas of Focus

"From the moment I first met Lorraine during her time as a planner with the Government of Bermuda I realised that she was an exceptional person […] She was a delight to work with, sometimes even for, as we sought to realise the best possible solutions and strategies for our clients and for the better running of the business. She is hard working, innovative and knowledgeable."

“I worked with Lorraine Huinink for four years in the Bermuda Department of Planning and in that time found her to be a great member of staff; professional, organised and a good and pragmatic decision-maker. She worked with developers and homeowners in a thoughtful and considered manner, adroitly handling a heavy caseload that was varied and usually not straightforward.”

“Lorraine combines a high level of competence with a tremendous energy. A very successful team builder and leader. A strategic thinker, who knows how to get concepts to completion.”

“Lorraine provided planning consultancy services to our law firm in Bermuda for some years and is the ultimate professional. Dedicated and time responsive, with brilliant instincts for cutting to the chase and delivering a commercial solution. I would recommend her highly and unconditionally.”

“Her professionalism, knowledge and unwavering energy as a Planner and Project Manager were invaluable […] She proved herself to be a collaborative team player with a truly ‘can do’ attitude. Her ability to fit into any work environment and simply get the job done with minimum of fuss is something that has always had my upmost of admiration. I would endorse Lorraine and recommend her without a shadow of doubt.”

“In her role establishing Durham Region’s first RT & TOD Office, and now as a consultant to the Region providing strategic advisory services, Lorraine effectively delivers for us because she understands the provincial infrastructure environment and is adept at providing sound, innovative, solution-oriented advice. Lorraine clearly understands the critical connection between transit infrastructure investment and good community building outcomes. She is a pleasure to work with and always works diligently to advance all these community-building objectives for the benefit of the Region.”

“Lorraine immediately understood the situation and tapped into her considerable network to establish the team of professionals that I would need to respond to a series of complex civil works matters. She knew the policy, political and technical considerations and adeptly moved from plan to action. I can’t emphasize how refreshing it was to work with someone who understood my needs in the context of the short tourism season in Ontario, and that driving to an outcome quickly was of paramount importance.”

"I worked with Lorraine extensively while she was at Metrolinx when I was establishing the TOC Program at Infrastructure Ontario. Lorraine’s work was anchored in a deep understanding of the complexities inherent in Transit Oriented Development and transit projects. She is a natural collaborator and works tirelessly to align common objectives while navigating complex regulatory and governance landscapes. Lorraine’s commitment to transparency and accountability has earned her the trust and respect of many."

“It was a pleasure to work alongside Lorraine, standing up the initial TOC Program at Metrolinx. Lorraine used her significant relationship and collaboration skills, ability to strategize and relentless drive to establish what was new territory for the province. She knows how to resolve conflict, and how to compromise in order to move stakeholders to common ground. Lorraine used her considerable understanding of government real estate, infrastructure delivery and real estate development to move the agency from idea to action. I would not hesitate to recommend Lorraine.”
