Our Story

Rooted By Strong Values - Growing Through Vision

Founded in 2004 by Dean Benard, our company emerged from a vision to blend his expertise in investigations and mediation.

Specializing in professional regulation and workplace disputes, Benard + Associates has steadfastly honed its focus on these crucial areas. This dedication has not only defined our niche but has also established us as a leading authority across Canada, renowned for delivering expert and practical investigation and mediation solutions, tailored to the diverse needs of our clients.

The arrival of Brenda Benard in 2013 marked a pivotal moment in our journey, introducing fresh vision and strategic leadership that propelled the company to unprecedented levels of success. Under the collaborative leadership of Dean and Brenda, we have tirelessly innovated and refined our approaches, ensuring that every solution we offer is not just effective, but also forward-thinking and practical.

Now, in our 20th year of operation, our growth is a testament to our commitment and trustworthiness. With established offices in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Winnipeg, Manitoba, and of course, our Head Office on Cambridge, Ontario, we continue to extend our reliable services, upholding the standards of excellence we are known for. Brenda, Dean, and the entire Benard + Associates team look forward with excitement to the future. We are committed to making a lasting, positive impact for our clients and the wider public, as we continue to lead and innovate in our field.
