About the Digest
OakWeekly compiles and summarises reporting on housing policy, public transit, municipal budgets, environmental planning, and community infrastructure from across Canadian provinces.
Coverage draws on publicly available government documents, local council minutes, and established regional outlets. No commentary, no advocacy — a structured summary of what is happening and where.
