Because TrueNorth clients include Canadian federal ministries (@canada.ca), provincial ministries (@ontario.ca, @gov.bc.ca, @gov.ab.ca), and municipal EDOs, your custom domain email must be configured with strict SPF, DKIM (2048-bit), and DMARC authentication so Executive Dossiers and proposals never trigger government spam/quarantine gateways.
| Provider Option | Recommended Tier | Primary Mailbox & Free Aliases to Create | Why It Fits TrueNorth |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Google Workspace (Recommended #1) | Business Starter (~$9.36 CAD/mo) |

Primary: ben@truenorthecon.caShared Mailboxes (Free): info@truenorthecon.ca, audit@truenorthecon.ca
