About Arkomark

See us like a bicycle wheel - represented by a hub of core advisors, and supported by a giant circle of project stakeholders and contractors from across the globe.

The Hub: Arkomark is a small but nimble agency based out of Victoria, British Columbia in Canada. It was originally founded in 1999 as Archaeomark Consultancy (becoming Arkomark in 2022) by Peter Ord, principal and lead project manager, who has over 35 years experience in strategic leadership, project development, and business advancement roles within the culture, heritage and conservation sectors.
