NPG Planning Solutions is pleased to welcome Natalie Majda to the team as Senior Heritage Planner. Natalie joins NPG at a pivotal time for our Heritage Planning practice, bringing a strong foundation in heritage policy analysis, Indigenous cultural heritage, and community engagement. Her addition reflects NPG’s continued investment in building a team with the depth and specialization our clients and communities deserve.

Natalie holds a Master of Arts in Planning from the University of Waterloo, where her research examined how Ontario’s land use planning framework can better recognize and protect Indigenous cultural heritages. Prior to joining NPG, she built her career across municipal and private sector roles, developing expertise in heritage reports including evaluations, designations, impact assessments. She has worked with community and municipal stakeholders on complex heritage planning projects throughout Ontario . Natalie is also an active contributor to Ontario’s planning community, serving on the OPPI Governance, Policy and Reform Committee and presenting at provincial and national heritage conferences.

At NPG, Natalie will contribute to the full range of our heritage planning services, supporting clients in navigating the regulatory and community dimensions of heritage

conservation. Her knowledge of Ontario’s planning legislation, combined with her specialized knowledge of Indigenous heritage stewardship, positions her to add meaningful value to both project delivery and client relationships. We are proud to welcome a practitioner of her calibre to the NPG team.

“We are excited to have Natalie join the NPG team. Her knowledge and experience will help us expand and enhance our heritage planning services as we look forward to growing and adapting to the future of heritage planning in Ontario.”
