Praise for CICG
"We have been using CICG as a resource for around 7 years. They have been extremely helpful at assisting when the workload piles up from services such as policy writing, grant applications, HR support, and general business planning. The team cares, produces results, and never pushes for services that are not required. They have become a “go-to” resource for our company"
- Dave Andersen, Research and Development Manager, Arctic Spas
