About this site

Re-launched in September 2003, the Government of Canada Newsroom is a Web site for Canadians and the media to access up-to-the-minute news releases, media advisories, warnings/advisories, speeches, reports and other related news resources published by Government of Canada (GoC) organizations.

The Web site's primary focus is a new distribution strategy for Government of Canada news and related resources. The Newsroom gives people choices regarding the types of news that they receive and the technology that they use to access it.

Today's news published by GoC organizations is found either on the National News page or on the Regional News page. News items can also be found under specific Audience groups. You can easily find previously published news items using the Advanced Search feature.
