Our history
generativ.ca was founded in 2003 under the name “Groupe Intersol Group: Lise Hebabi Inc.” For the past 20 years, we have worked with clients at all levels of government, as well as national, regional and local non-profits, to help them achieve their goals through effective collaboration, consultation and learning activities.
In 2019, after a long, fruitful, and close partnership with the Intersol Group, we decided it was time to explore new horizons. We have diversified and expanded our partnerships over the years, and continue to provide the full range of responsive, high quality services for which we have become known.
