The first steps taken by the Rideau Institute were to update the organization's logo and their policy brief.

The Institute performs detailed research on local policy issues, then publishes its findings in reports and policy briefs.

During 2012, the Centre published fifteen discussion papers, three policy briefs, and its first annual report.

The Center sponsors research, produces policy briefs, and publishes expert third party reviews of think tank reports.

The party also maintains a website with updates and policy briefs on issues pertinent to its ideological base.

Fellows author 1-2 policy briefs on their area of focus, to be published by Brookings.

This is achieved through its organizing and education efforts, web site, written policy briefs, testimony, and public presentations.

The policy brief presented an alternative to the invasion of Iraq.

This policy brief can be viewed here.

These range from in-depth provincial case studies to peer-reviewed policy briefs and professionally published reports.
