These are all the addresses, emails and contacts for every Parent Finders in Canada, to the best of my knowledge. Some will have a message beside either the email address or the web page, not all worked. I have emailed every one and am waiting to hear back so as to make sure the email addresses are all correct and do work.
Since moving over my site to here, I have gone through all of them and tried to find out which ones are still active.
If they have ** beside them then the information is up-to-date [according to the National Office of PF]. If they say CLOSED, but still have an address, then they're not listed as Active, but their Home pages still worked. Ones without any ** or CLOSED notes means I didn't find any information about them at this time.
IF YOU KNOW OF ANY LISTED HERE THAT ARE DEFINITELY CLOSED BUT THEY'RE NOT MARKED AS SUCH, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
IF YOU KNOW OF ANY THAT ARE STILL ACTIVE AND ARE NOT LISTED HERE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW THAT AS WELL! You can contact me through my guestbook
