About Heather Bradley

I'm a communications professional who believes in fearless advice and loyal execution. With nearly 30 years of experience advising the Speaker of the House of Commons and senior leadership, I've honed a deep understanding of Canada's political landscape and a non-partisan approach to navigating complex, sensitive issues. I dedicated my career to safeguarding the reputation of Parliament, advocating for transparency, and ensuring that communications remain clear, strategic, and impactful. As someone passionate about Canada, I'm drawn to roles that support national interests and foster connections. My philosophy is simple: share thoughtful, honest advice--even when it is challenging to hear--and deliver on that advice with integrity. It's a credo I carried throughout my career and one that helped five successive Speaker of the House earn and retain the trust of both Parliament and the public. Core strengths:*Political acumen & non-partisanship: In a highly partisan environment, I maintained the impartiality essential to the Speaker's role, advising across political lines to support balanced communications. I understand the intricacies of Parliament and have built strong relationship with key institutions including the Senate, the Library of Parliament, the RCMP, PSPC.*Crisis management & strategic relations: My experience includes developing and implementing crisis communication strategies and corporate policies to mitigate risk and navigate politically sensitive situations. In time of crisis, I serve as a calm, strategic advisor, helping to diffuse tensions and maintain trust.*Mentorship & relationship-building: I am passionate about nurturing talent and openly share my knowledge and time to support others. My network on Parliament Hill and throughout Ottawa includes leaders from various sectors, allowing me to create synergies and drive collaborative projects. I'm a country girl at heart, though my work has connected me to the capital and the country. My love for Canada extends beyond politics; it includes a lifelong appreciation for Canadian literature, theatre and the contribution of rural communities to our national identity. Through my board work and professional engagements I remain committed to fostering a positive, forward-looking vision for Canada. I'm interested in board opportunities and special projects where my expertise in strategic communications and crisis management could add value. If you are looking for a seasoned advisor who pairs political insight with a deep commitment to Canada's institutions, let's connect.
