It’s almost time for a much-needed holiday break! We hope you enjoy it as much as we plan to.

Our “office” will be closed between Christmas and New Year’s as we take time to fully switch to non-work mode.

For our annual holiday donation, we selected Edmonton’s Food Bank. We’re proud to support their important work in our community, helping ensure that families have access to nutritious food during the holiday season and beyond. If you’d like to join us in making a difference, please consider donating or volunteering with your local food bank this year. 🎄

Looking back on a busy year

We’ve been fortunate to work with some new clients this year, including Social Innovation Canada, BC Cancer, and the Alberta Centre to End Tracking in Persons. We’ve concluded projects with Health Data Research Network Canada and BC’s Office of the Human Rights Commissioner, and are continuing ongoing projects with the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer, 211 Alberta, and the Otipemisiwak Métis Government.

These relationships mean so much to us, and we’re concluding this year with gratitude for everyone who puts their trust in our team.

We recently asked our team members to reflect on their biggest achievements from the past quarter. Here are a few of the things that stood out:

• Hosting Eval Academy’s first webinar

• Setting aside time for learning

• Undertaking lots of evaluation capacity building

• Making sense of inconsistent data

• Trying on new client-facing tasks

• Creating a well-received infographic

• Following through on an extended family vacation when logistics got tough

Looking ahead to 2026

We’re excited to start the new year by sharing examples from our application of trauma-informed evaluation. Our colleagues at the Evaluation Capacity Network’s Decolonial Learning Team are hosting this mini-series, and invited us to present on January 15. Register here: https://bit.ly/4rV5MEb

Register now for our January 21 webinar for leaders: Demonstrating Impact Through Program Evaluation.

In today’s competitive environment, executives and decision-makers need more than data—you need a clear story of why your programs matter. This webinar goes beyond the basics of evaluation to focus on strategy, influence, and meaningful impact.

Three Hive created Eval Academy to empower everyone to evaluate.

Our curated content caters to a wide audience, including evaluators, program managers, students, and anyone keen on improving their understanding and practice of evaluation.

We’ve launched our second online course: Evaluation Data Collection Methods!

Hosted by our Dr. Bonnie Lakusta, PhD, CE, this self-paced course explores surveys, interview, focus groups, and arts-based methods. Learners work through interactive assignments and quizzes, and have the opportunity to get feedback on their work from our Credentialed Evaluators.

Need evaluation training?

We offer customized evaluation training upon request, or you can sign up for our Program Evaluation for Program Managers course available online anytime.

Let’s work together.
