Some more Canadian Taal once again thanks to Alan Bell and this time his children as well!
I have all the answers to the Citizenship questions and the Help sheet up. Of course they mainly deal with Ontario and my local Oakville area but there is a whole section on Canada that would be of use to anyone living anywhere in this country.
I am starting to make the background a little more transparent for easier reading.
December 30th 2001
I have at last put up the "cheat sheets" for the answers to the Citizenship questions. I haven't answered them all but will over the coming weeks add more and more so that all the facts necessary will be there.

I have decided to add a lot more South African clubs worldwide to the Links page. Over the last few years there a quite a few new clubs that have sprung up. Many of these are in the USA and because a lot of us travel down to the USA for business or pleasure it might be nice to have contacts.
December 3rd 2001
New names added to the list and some e-mail addresses changed
I have been most impressed at the way that many of the other communities have set up business and social organisations in order to help newcomers to assimilate into their new country. The objective of this site is to begin to change that and start to build a strong, viable South African community here in Ontario. This list is intended to help both South Africans in Business or professions as well as those who are looking for information or help in these areas
For the time being it will be linked to the names page but I am hopeful that it will be a full page on its own shortly.
November 28th 2001
New names added to the list and some e-mail addresses changed (thank you Rogers for screwing that up!)
I've had to change my guestbook to another provider as MyGuestbook.Com have some very funny ideas on customer service and retention.I will set up the messages over the next few days so that the ones I had aren't lost.
November 19th 2001
November 12th 2001
NB.I am setting up a page that lists South African Business people here in Ontario. It will be for advice and help for all the South Africans that need it. If you would like to be on this page or know some one who would like to add their expertise to the page please let me know. I believe that South Africans need to help each other to become an established community and that this may be one way to start the ball rolling
November 5th 2001
I had a meeting with a bunch of South Africans in Mississauga on Saturday. Very Pleasant. The need to have more get togethers and socials is becoming more important and there is a strong move afoot to set up a more structured organisation. I will keep everyone informed
October 28th 2001
Some more names added to the list. We are building up a good list so please feel free to let as many people as possible know about the site.
I was alerted to the following opportunity:
Currently looking for a cook or chef to help in her tearoom in Oakville to work 5 hours per day from 1000 to 1500 weekdays and this might be ideal for a wife of a new immigrant who lives in the area.
If you are interested please let me know and I will pass on the information!
