The year 2012 represented a great time of growth for Grassroots Public Affairs.  Our firm has added several new offerings to better serve our clients, and we are continuing to look for new ways to foster increased collaboration between the public and private sectors. THANK YOU to all of our clients that entrusted us to help them with their public relations and government relations campaigns. We at Grassroots pledge to continually improve our services and enhance our skills so that we may become your long term public affairs partner of choice.

Some of the highlights from this past year include:

Addition of research and survey services – Grassroots now offers a range of professional services that are designed to enhance and support both public issue and political campaigns. From public opinion and research to professional fund raising, our call centre and research capabilities provide the necessary tools to support a winning campaign from top to bottom.

Strengthened Ottawa Representation – While Grassroots operates primarily out of Toronto, we are now pleased to have two associates based in Ottawa. Christine McMillan maintains deep connections within the Ontario Liberal Party and is currently overseeing the upcoming Liberal Leadership convention set for later this month. Chris Gray, formally with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, brings a wealth of business contacts from across the country as well as significant knowledge and expertise on federal issues.

Strengthened Public Relations Services – Grassroots is fortunate to have a team of skilled and accomplished writers and researchers who collectively have significant experience in both the public and private sector. Recently, we have also partnered with a leading Canadian media monitoring firm, providing us access to unrivalled media networks and industry specific contacts.  

Political Anniversary Program – We at Grassroots respect the contributions every public figure makes when serving in an elected capacity, regardless of party affiliation. For that reason we launched our recognition program for all Ontario MPPs, giving them shout-outs on the anniversary of their first election to office. We encourage our clients and the public in general to check out our calendar and see who is celebrating an upcoming anniversary!

Like last year, 2013 will continue to bring new changes and improvements to the Grassroots roster of services. We remain committed to ensure your organization’s priorities are communicated clearly and effectively to the right people, at the right time and in the right way.
