Qoqoq Consulting Ltd.

“It has been an immense privilege to work with Joe and the team at Qoqoq on advancing the Doctors of BC’s commitment to Truth and Reconciliation. Joe brings intentionality to each conversation and interaction, grounded in a deep commitment to Indigenous-specific anti-racism as the enabler of true reconciliation. Our work has benefited immensely from the strategic insights available through Joe’s rich knowledge of the health care system. Qoqoq has supported and facilitated critical dialogue with our organization’s senior leadership and effectively moved complex and uncomfortable conversations forward.

The diversity of perspectives and lived experiences embedded across the breadth of the Qoqoq team adds depth and nuance to each facet of the work. We are especially rateful to Sulksun for bringing Coast Salish teachings to our sessions, which ensure we are grounded in the truth and illuminate our path forward.”

“We are grateful to endorse Qoqoq and their important work in delivering Indigenous Specific Anti-Racism & Cultural Safety/Humility training to our organization, New Market Funds.

Having worked with Qoqoq for several months now, we’ve seen and felt the profound impact of their approach. Their training has significantly deepened our team’s understanding, particularly around the complex histories of land and its original peoples pre-contact as well as the impacts post-contract. They’ve fostered a space that encourages genuine reflection, leading to a greater empathy and a real willingness to slow down, listen, and engage with the tougher, more uncomfortable questions essential for true reconciliation. Qoqoq doesn’t just provide information; they cultivate a profound sense of responsibility and inspire us to do better.

We wholeheartedly recommend Qoqoq to any organization committed to authentic reconciliation. Their expertise and respectful methodology are invaluable in building a more just and equitable future.”

“Working with Joe Gallagher and Qoqoq Consulting has been essential to our journey toward eliminating Indigenous-specific racism within BC pharmacies. Over the past several years, Joe and his team have provided us with profound understanding of the historical and contemporary challenges facing Indigenous Peoples in British Columbia which has been essential to helping us transform our approach to pharmacy regulation and turn our commitments into meaningful change.

Joe’s guidance through the development of a first-ever Commitment Statement to end Indigenous specific racism within our Strategic Plan, Board and Staff education sessions and dedicated consultation on numerous projects and initiatives has been invaluable. What I appreciate most is how Qoqoq holds us accountable to our commitments, each other, and the people we serve by ensuring we approach this work with humility and cultural understanding. We’re grateful for this ongoing partnership as we continue working toward reconciliation and systemic change.”
