Hi Beany

I worked in Canada back in the beginning of the eighties, based in Ottawa working across the river in Parc Pierre Lafontaine, Gatineau as a chippy.

Just keep on pressing them for a response or do as I did, get on a plane and go there.

I landed in Ottowa, found a motor lodge (Branscomes on Bells Corner) and then went from there. It takes a while to get established but, I had some memorable stories to tell when I got home!

Good luck, just keep pushing and you'll get there!

Regards

MVM

PS. Pouring concrete at minus 30 degrees is quite a learning curve too!
