This document is a summary for policy makers detailing the findings of an economic modeling study on regional electricity cooperation and strategic infrastructure in the Atlantic Region. It outlines the impact of federal policies, particularly those accelerating coal-fired generation retirement and carbon pricing, on the regional electricity system. The plan models various future scenarios for electricity supply and demand, exploring options such as nuclear, hydro, and hybrid renewable portfolios to replace coal. Key findings emphasize the need for significant investment, inter-provincial transmission reinforcement, and coordinated regional action to achieve substantial greenhouse gas emission reductions and transition to a cleaner, more resilient electricity grid.

This strategic plan, Healthy Ireland - Men (HI-M) 2024-2028, outlines a comprehensive framework to achieve optimum health and wellbeing for men in Ireland. It is structured around four key themes: addressing health inequalities and fostering equity across male population groups through a gender and life course approach to health programs; building capacity among professionals working with men and boys; ensuring research-driven practice; and establishing robust governance for effective implementation. The plan aims to enhance men's health outcomes, reduce disparities, and promote gender equality.

This strategy is a collaborative effort between the Governments of the United States and Canada to strengthen the security and resilience of the U.S. and Canadian electric grid against all adversarial, technological, and natural hazards and threats. It envisions a secure and resilient electric grid capable of withstanding hazards and recovering efficiently from disruptions. The strategic goals are to protect today's electric grid and enhance preparedness; manage contingencies and enhance response and recovery efforts; and build a more secure and resilient future electric grid.

The Aboriginal Community Safety Planning Initiative (ACSPI) is a program supporting Indigenous communities in developing tailored community safety plans.
