HELPING PRAIRIE TOWNS RISE

STRENGTHENING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS & COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE ADMINISTRATION & MUNICIPAL CONSULTING

CONTRACT MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATORS & STANDALONE SERVICES

We Don’t Just Write Strategies, We Help Bring Them to Life.

At Prairie Rising, we go beyond reports and roadmaps. We partner with your organization or municipality to implement, monitor, and adapt your strategy — combining onsite presence with remote expertise for proven, cost-effective results.

We Understand Because We’ve Been There.

Small-town managers and administrators often wear too many hats — juggling budgets, operations, and council expectations while essential long-term priorities fall behind. Strategic planning, economic development, communications, financial planning, infrastructure management, engineering, project management, and grant writing…
These are the very activities that unlock growth, yet they’re often neglected just to keep daily operations running.

 

That’s Where Prairie Rising Comes In.

Our team of seasoned municipal and business leaders brings over 200 years of combined experience building careers in towns from 500 people to cities with over 500 staff. We’ve worked in the trenches of small local governments, developed proven systems, and delivered measurable results.

 

We know what works — because we built it ourselves.

That’s Where Prairie Rising Comes In.

Prairie Rising provides a complete suite of municipal consulting and administrative services so you can focus on what matters most: your community. From day-to-day operations to long-term planning, we help your organization rise stronger.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

TOWN OF DUCK LAKE LOGO

" After a substantial turn over of administrators in the recent past, I believe that we have a perfect solution of Prairie Rising providing over 120
years of municipal expertise not normally available to towns of our size. They are guiding our CAO to certification and guiding and advising Council and really the entire organization through difficult times
bringing stability and continuity."

"We went through some tumultuous issues and Prairie Rising expertise was instrumental in resolving these issues and moving forward. "


Mayor Bonnie Guigon
Town of Duck Lake

VILLAGE OF PADDOCKWOOD LOGO

“Council wouldn't have made it through these terrible last few months without Prairie Rising Consulting. They remained calm, logical and steadfast throughout extreme emotional and psychological stress. They guided us to solutions and provided a path forward.

We are tremendously thankful that we were able to rely upon their exceptional experience which gave them the wisdom to apply to the many issues facing Paddockwood. “


Trevor Allenby & Dion McLeod Councillors, Village of Paddockwood

TOWN OF BLAINE LAKE LOGO

“We were forced to go through the hiring process 6 times in 3 years, with the same unqualified
applications requiring additional mentoring costs.

Within just 5 days, James began turning 3 years of disorganization around, proving that this hybrid/remote system can work. Him and Prairie Rising are going to do a lot of good for a lot of
communities who desperately need their level expertise”


Al Sorenson, Mayor of Blaine Lake
from 2016 - 2024
