Canada has an organization for science fiction and fantasy writers; I
don't remember their name or their URL, but someone on can.arts.sf
(focused on Canadian sf) and/or rec.arts.sf.composition (focused on
writing and selling sf) probably will.  And I believe Robert J. Sawyer's
web site has a list of all agents representing one or more members of SFWA
(Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America).

Also, read Locus -- _the_ publication for news of the sf field.  Among
other things, it has news of sales; about half of these news items include
an agent's name.  Their website is http://www.locusmag.com, I think.  If
there's an sf bookstore near you, they ought to carry Locus; a good
general bookstore might.  If not, you'll have to get it by mail.
