Publications of general interest include the fact sheets on climate change published by the Meteorological Service of Canada, the Freshwater Series provided by the Environmental Conservation Service (also Environment Canada), and Great Lakes Facts (The Centre for the Great Lakes, Toronto). The Climate Change Digests and the CO₂/Climate Reports (both from the Meteorological Service of Canada) are particularly useful.
