Public Affairs
The Public Affairs Section of the United States Consulate in Toronto explains and advocates American policy, acts as a focal point for media and cultural relations, and works to strengthen the bilateral relationship through people to people linkages.
The Public Affairs Officer or PAO functions as the Consul General's and the Consulate's senior advisor on public affairs and public diplomacy.
The Public Affairs section works closely with academia, culture, media, business, government and the private sector in Ontario to provide authoritative information on U.S. government policies and programs.
