Municipalities throughout Ontario routinely make public policy decisions that have an impact on the private sector. These decisions often require representation to ensure that governments are aware of the repercussions of their decisions on companies and industries.

Government Relations
People often say “you can’t fight City Hall!”, but why fight? We believe that it is much more productive to engage politicians and senior staff in order to explain our client’s position. This approach to government relations can only be pursued by maintaining strong professional relationships with politicians and government officials, and a deep understanding of the way government functions. Sutherland & Associates works with its clients to engage the appropriate politicians to ensure that public policy decisions are made with the knowledge necessary to generate a positive outcome.
