Description
The Western Policy Analyst was a unique, online publication intended to provide policy makers and those interested in policy formation with useful, empirical analysis of western Canadian trends and issues. Provincial and federal government departments, business groups, academics, non-governmental organizations and municipalities were among the stakeholders who found the information beneficial in gaining a further understanding of public policy. The publication provided policy insights from a evidence-based point of view, based in part on information provided by Statistics Canada.
