  1. Information: Provide timely, relevant, and reliable information for better public health decisions and actions.

  2. Knowledge: Generate and accelerate the uptake and application of current evidence-based knowledge in public health decisions and actions.

  3. Support: Provide high-quality support to the Ontario public health system in its daily business and enhance capacity in emergencies.
