About FairPlay Mediation

Welcome to FairPlay Mediation, where resolving conflicts isn't just about finding a solution – it’s about fostering empathy and understanding while seeking mutual benefit.

At FairPlay, we understand that most conflicts arise not from irreconcilable differences, but from misunderstandings exacerbated by raw emotions and unmet needs. Recognizing this, our mission is to redefine dispute resolution in order to set all parties up for success. What sets us apart from the competition is our desire to prioritize empathy and understanding between our clients throughout the FairPlay process. Our conflict coaches bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. Their diverse backgrounds and exposure to various forms of conflict mean they understand that every conflict is unique, requiring a tailored approach.

The FairPlay method is more than just a process; it's a philosophy that aims for everyone involved to emerge as winners. With the primary focus being collaboration, we are able to guide our clients towards resolutions that not only address their immediate concerns but also lay the foundation for healthy, functional future relationships.

Whether it's a family disagreement, a workplace dispute, or a community conflict, we are here to enable constructive dialogue, empowering individuals to find common ground. Join us on the journey towards peaceful resolutions where everyone can win.

About our Founder – Justin Hendriks

Justin founded FairPlay Mediation with a genuine desire to help others navigate conflict in a less formal setting; one that prioritizes the human desire to be heard and have a say in outcomes that affect them.

Having experienced first-hand the stress and co-parenting turmoil typically associated with a traditional divorce process, Justin quickly understood the value in finding mutually beneficial solutions while fostering open, respectful communication between parties.

Justin is a single father, a combat Veteran of the British Army and police officer with 17 years of law enforcement experience. Each of these roles has given him extensive experience communicating and problem solving under circumstances that are as diverse as the individuals involved. In mediation, he is committed to actively listening and understanding your goals before tailoring a unique approach to meet them collaboratively.

Justin is a member of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Institute of Canada, as well as the Alberta Family Mediation Society. He also gives back to fellow Calgarians by volunteering with Community Mediation Calgary Society, a grass roots initiative that helps locals resolve disagreements.

On his own time, Justin enjoys the outdoors and can be found taking advantage of Alberta's natural beauty, typically with his young sons in tow.
