Your Voice Consulting, a Saskatoon-based communications consulting firm serving clients across Canada, provides Government Relations support that helps you communicate your priorities clearly, build relationships with decision-makers, and navigate the nuances of public affairs.

Bring your voice to the table

Government decisions shape the environment where your organization operates. Whether you need support, collaboration, or simply understanding from decision-makers, a thoughtful government relations strategy helps your story to be heard.

Your Voice Consulting helps organizations navigate the complexities of public affairs, align their goals with policy priorities, and build constructive, lasting relationships.

If it’s time to strengthen your government connections or advocate for your next initiative, let’s start the conversation.

All companies and organizations work alongside the government at some level — be it local, provincial, national or even international. What are the issues that bring you in contact with government authorities, Ministers or staff? Do the relevant departments understand your business needs and pain points?

If it’s time to start building that government relationship, YVC can help you not only connect with the right people, but present your case. Maybe you need the government to simply step out of the way so that your initiative can be successful. Or, you need them to take action and have your back in an unfair situation. Either way, the key is getting in front of the decision makers to educate them and explain the full picture. These relationships aren’t easy, but they can be very valuable.

A government relations strategy that matches your business goals and lines up with the timing and nuances of the necessary level of government, giving you a proactive advantage. At times, your organization may be able to lean on industry associations to carry the message, but at others, a personal meeting or letter is what it takes to promote action.

Let’s look at your unique circumstances and craft the right government relations strategy to bring your voice to the people in charge.
