Burton's advisory prowess isn't confined to successful projects; he has also been a cornerstone for shortlisted proponents across a wide spectrum of initiatives. His expertise blankets projects ranging from the ambitious Edmonton Light Rail to the transformative Regina Bypass and extends to critical healthcare projects like the Penticton Regional Hospital Patient Care Tower.
