Interface Strategies Inc. is a strategic communications consulting firm operating in Canada's National Capital Region. We specialize in providing environmental analysis, strategic planning advice and communications and social marketing strategies for government and public institutions. We are proud to be able to support their efforts to engage Canadians in the policy development process and contribute to informed public debate about economic, social and cultural issues. Interface Strategies believes that successful public policy making in a world of instantaneous communication requires more than "spin." Public support must be carefully and respectfully cultivated. Public views must not only influence policy development and the way in which decision makers respond to issues, they must be seen to be doing so. This makes policy resilient. Otherwise, in a world of rapid change, public policies can unravel in ways that erode the reputation of policy makers and undermine the public's confidence in the democratic process.
