Government Relations

We understand the when, whom and how of approaching decision makers to inform policies. We know how to construct the right message and we are experienced in driving policy change in provincial and municipal government relations.

Ontario Focus

Our government relations professionals and public policy experts connect with key stakeholders and guide clients through Ontario’s legislative and regulatory environments. With former elected officials as well as ministerial and parliamentary staff members on our team, we have direct experience in government.

Municipal Focus

Consensus building at the municipal level is a particularly daunting task for most and few venture into this complex maze of competing agendas and complicated bureaucracies. Sutherland’s expertise will guide you through this unique environment.

Our team includes former Mayors, municipal Councillors and senior staff who work in Toronto, the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), Vancouver and all major centres in Canada. Our approach offers our clients unique perspectives on City Hall.
