If this is not an appropriate source for the below items, please let me know
and I will look where you suggest.  I believe that given your interest in
communications you will feel this to be a most rewarding opportunity to
expand the exchange of information globally.

My wife is a teacher and has sent her students on a search for any and all
information regarding certain cities in the Canada in hopes that this kind of
knowledge will enhance their appreciation of those citizens.  In the future
she would like to expand this information search to other countries depending
on the responce that is exhibited in this exercise.

I have included below the example letter that she used to explain to them
what was needed.  Please review and respond or direct me to a more suited BBS
to find this kind of information.

The cities of interest are varied accross your country,  the first two to be
addressed will be Charlottetown, and Edmonton.  If you do not have
information on these specific towns but would like to assist, I will send you
the remaining sites of interest.

Example letter.

My name is _________ and I need your help. I live in Dallas Texas.In my class
(9th grade)we were told to pick a city in Canada, I picked yours, and then
gather information about it.  I would appreciate it very much if you would

interest.
