| We believe that effective government relations begins with clear representation of your issues and information to those in power. We relate your concerns to the government’s agenda, build your case and convey it to those who matter. Research, policy development, strategic planning, and powerful communications are the tools of our trade.
Our experience in government is both from within and without. We have worked in and with the Ontario Public Service, served as political advisors at the highest level, and helped business and NGO’s with government relations. Whether you are a non-profit organization seeking to raise your profile with government, or a major company dealing with government regulator or policy issues, Counsel Public Affairs delivers the strategy, tools and results you need. Counsel Public Affairs was formed in November 2004 through the merger of two of Ontario's most successful boutique public affairs companies, the Excelsior Consulting Group Inc. and Suasion Public Affairs Inc. |
