A few things to know.

What will I receive?

When a development matches your region and topic, you receive an email preview with a link to your briefing. Your briefing brings together summaries and source links for the developments you follow.

What counts as one alert?

One alert follows one policy topic in one region. Ontario housing and California housing count as two alerts. Starter includes 1 alert, Plus includes 15, and Pro includes unlimited alerts.

How do I get started?

Create an account, choose your plan, and review the billing terms in secure checkout. Once subscribed, set up your first watchlist in your Alerts workspace.

Can I change or pause my alerts?

Yes. Edit the region, topic, or delivery frequency in your workspace. You can pause an individual watchlist, resume it later, or delete it. You can also cancel your membership from your account.

Is the Alerts workspace available in French?
