History
CanadaInfo was created when the webmaster was working for Environment Canada during the January 1998 ice storm in eastern Ontario and southern Quebec. Power shortages had forced many federal buildings closed in order to divert electricity to needy areas. What began as a recreational project to fill time while the Canadian Forces and power workers restored full service to the region has evolved into the comprehensive collection of facts, statistics, and other information you are viewing today.
The site is constantly being monitored to ensure its information is up to date and new information is frequently being added. There are now more than 500 pages of information on the site covering many aspects of Canadian government, regions, and people that make up this great land.
