Cohen Commission: reports

Proofread the English-language interim and final reports of this high-profile federal commission investigating the decline of sockeye salmon in the Fraser River. Both reports were complex, technical, and lengthy. I worked with the client, a team of editors, and a designer over several rounds of corrections to ensure consistency in all aspects of the reports.

“I have had the pleasure and benefit of working with Christine Rowlands on the interim and final reports for three commissions of inquiry. From the first time she provided proof reading services she has been my first choice for this detailed work. The care and attention she provides to her work remains steadfast from the start of the project to its final phase. She is thorough in checking out facts, remembers inconsistencies between sections and works tirelessly to get the job done in a timely manner. I have no hesitation in recommending her for future work.”—Leo Perra, Executive Director for the Cohen Commission of Inquiry (2012), Braidwood Commissions of Inquiry (2009, 2010) and the Davies Commission of Inquiry (2009, 2011)
