Business

The firm started in the academic, non-profit and healthcare sectors while focusing on research, policy architecture, project management and strategic planning. Government contracts with provincial and federal clients soon followed and Millar then expanded into public affairs, media relations and communications in the private and public sectors. The Millar Group has lobbied all levels of government on behalf of private interests and has represented various organizations and entities to the public at large.
