Lisa and I have managed our public relations consultancy through exciting times in Ottawa during the 1990\u2019s. We played a pivotal part in the communications and public relations of the Ottawa Transition Board, the body overseeing the amalgamation of the new City of Ottawa in 2001. With MADD, hospitals and health care clients, and a variety of government relations contracts, we grew our business. In early 2000\u2019s we moved the business and Family to the beautiful Niagara Region and, recently, we have moved back to the National Capital Region. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Georgia;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Georgia;\">For Lisa and I, it has been an adventuresome 20-year journey that, if we had the opportunity, we\u2019d do all over again.
