COVID-19: How Government Relations can help you navigate the global pandemic

It’s almost cliché to say that we are living in unprecedented times. COVID-19 has impacted all our lives. And although vaccines offer a light at the end of the tunnel, it’s impossible to predict when the global crisis will end, or what the long-term economic and social consequences will be.

In 2020, companies and organizations throughout Southwestern Ontario rose to the challenge of finding new ways of doing business. Now it’s time to start planning for what comes next. Having a government relations team by your side can help you respond to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis in a way that is strategic and proactive.

Here are five ways the team at Pathway Group can help you navigate the ever-changing COVID landscape:

• ➢  Alert you to the latest pandemic-related rules, regulations, and emergency orders that may impact your sector or industry.
• ➢  Alert you to new government financial supports, and offer advice and assistance with applications.
• ➢  Explore other funding options, and offer advice and assistance with grant writing and submissions.
• ➢  Help ensure your voice is heard during the government’s consultative process at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels.
• ➢  Advise and assist with Strategic and Crisis Communications.
