Meet Robert Morris, CD, MA

Workplace investigator, mediator and dispute resolution professional, based in Cobble Hill and serving organizations across British Columbia.

Fairness, accountability and respect

Robert is a workplace investigator, mediator and dispute resolution professional based in Cobble Hill, British Columbia.

He served 21 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, including 19 years in the Royal Canadian Navy, reaching the rank of Petty Officer Second Class, and was recognized for leadership, initiative and professionalism. That experience taught him the importance of fairness, accountability and dealing with conflict effectively and respectfully.

He holds a Master of Arts in Conflict Analysis and Management from Royal Roads University and a Bachelor of Arts in Justice. He also completed the Workplace Investigation Training and Certificate Program through the Human Resource Professionals Association.

His mediation and arbitration training includes programs through Restorative Justice Cowichan, where he continues to volunteer as a mentor and facilitator. He is also a By-Law Adjudicator for the Province of British Columbia.

Robert believes conflict can be an opportunity for growth when it's handled constructively, fairly and professionally.

Robert and his family live in Cobble Hill, in the MÁLEXEȽ (Malahat) and Quw'utsun territories. He's involved with the Cobble Hill Improvement District and, when time allows, plays with the Cowichan Pipes and Drums.

How Robert works

Calm, fair and practical

Impartial

No sides are taken. Every party is heard, and the process is fair to everyone involved.

Practical

The focus is on clear findings, workable agreements and a realistic way forward.

Why "Ameliorate"?

To make better, or more tolerable.

The word comes from the Latin melior, meaning "better." It describes improving conditions that are hard to endure, which is exactly what every investigation, mediation and arbitration sets out to do.
