We are privileged to work in a variety of sectors that are near and dear to our hearts. The human relationships we forge over the course of our work strengthens our personal and professional development.
In each sector, we maintain our knowledge of key actors, trends, and the challenges and constraints that are specific within it. Everywhere we go, we cultivate a network of collaborators with sector-leading expertise and knowledge.
Our key areas of focus are: education, health, and social services. Each of these sectors has robust links and synergies between them.
Areas of expertise
Education
For over 30 years, PGF has been a recognized partner of the education sector, particularly in Ontario. In French-speaking Canada, education is the cornerstone of community development. The challenges are numerous, both in terms of the quality of the educational offering and in terms of organization. School authorities are overburdened with objectives of all kinds, and expectations are relentless.
PGF’s team has advised and supported a full range of players in education, from government departments to colleges and universities, unions, school boards, board associations, educational television, and other stakeholders. PGF has also supported institutions in the post-secondary education system, such as universities and colleges in Canada’s Francophonie, with feasibility studies, strategic plans, business plans and more. PGF works with partners across the education continuum from early childhood to adult education.
Health and Social Services
The health and social services sector is constantly changing. Reorganizations, the search for efficiency and systemic improvements are on the agenda of governments across the country. Many communities consider themselves underserved when it comes to French-language health care and services. Service delivery organizations are turning to diversifying their offer by constantly expanding their range of services: welcoming newcomers, offering housing, legal advice, and so on.
Since 2010, PGF has been active in this sector, with a particular focus on the health of Canada’s Francophone and Acadian communities. Our core service offerings within this sector include strategic planning, organizational development, study and research, and training for service providers (hospitals, community health centers), governments, equity-seeking groups, French-language health networks, training institutions, and community organizations offering services to populations in primary health care, addiction, mental health, and other areas.
