Project Advocacy Inc. | NIMBY | 199 Bay Street, Toronto, ON, Canada

Helping project developers secure community and government support

ABOUT US

Project Advocacy Inc. is Canada’s only public affairs firm dedicated to supporting project developers navigating community opposition and government hurdles.

We take a citizen-driven approach, blending grassroots advocacy with government and stakeholder relations to secure and sustain the social licence essential for project success.

Our team helps developers identify, organize, and amplify silent supporters within host communities, transforming them into vocal advocates.

Through sophisticated campaign strategies, we mobilize local citizens who back your proposal—turning them into a powerful political force. They sign petitions, attend public hearings, and champion your project locally.

Paired with expert government and stakeholder engagement, this method has proven vital for approving large developments in Canada’s complex licensing and regulatory landscape.

From energy and infrastructure projects to quarries and commercial real estate, Project Advocacy Inc. builds effective advocacy programs to counter NIMBY opposition and rally support among citizens, elected leaders, government officials, and media.
