Braedy Chapman
Braedy Chapman is Ember’s Project Archaeologist for the Interior Plateau culture zone of British Columbia. Bready has completed numerous preliminary field reconnaissance (PFR) and archaeological impact assessments (AIA) for a variety of industries and clientele throughout the Interior Plateau. Additionally, Braedy is our primary contact for British Columbia First Nations, is a member of our Indigenous Engagement Committee, and he mentors all of our up-and-coming Field Directors.
Braedy joined Tree Time Services Inc. in April of 2020, bringing 11 years of professional CRM experience to the company. An extensive amount of his experience reigns from the Interior Plateau of British Columbia, and the Boreal and Grasslands sub-regions of Alberta. Working in British Columbia has provided Braedy with numerous opportunities for interacting and engaging with First Nations groups, and ensuring active participation and collaboration for all of our field work. In recent years, Braedy has supported the completion of numerous mitigations for oil and gas projects in Alberta, and has made significant contributions to archaeological field methodologies through wildfire impact assessments in the Interior Plateau.
Prior to becoming an archaeologist, Braedy earned a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from the University of Alberta in 2004. He also participated in a Classical Archaeology field school in Tuscany, Italy for two field seasons. Braedy cultivated an interest in North American archaeology by participating in the University of Alberta field school at Bodo, Alberta in 2008.
Braedy’s favorite aspect of Cultural Resource Management is the amount of time he spends outdoors exploring the landscape. In his spare time, Braedy enjoys hiking, downhill skiing, fencing, yoga, reading, and scale modelling.
