Several folks on this list have expressed an interest in having a Canadian
section on my web site http://www.PrenatalEd.com. -- an electronic handbook for
health educators and others who evaluate, select and develop health information
for patients and consumers. The site has been found a useful resource by list
members, but some info is not directly applicable to Canada due to differences
in the health system. I've agreed to host a  section specific to Canada, but
have not yet developed content. This suggested compilation of multicultural
resources would be a great start and I would be pleased to host it. US
resources could also be collected and many would be useful on both sides of the
border.  Interested collaborators please contact me. SS
