This directory is deliberately small. Every record here was opened and checked against the organisation's own site or an official government page on the date shown. We would rather list nine services we have verified than three hundred we have not.

How this directory is maintained

Rule	What it means in practice
Nothing unverified	A record is not published until a person has opened the URL and confirmed the details on the operator's own site.
Nothing undated	Every record carries the date it was last checked. If that date looks old to you, treat it as old.
Re-checked quarterly	Next scheduled review: 2026-11-12.
Removed, not left up	A record that fails verification is taken down rather than left in place with a warning.
No affiliate arrangements	Nobody pays to be listed here, and no listing is a referral fee.
Coverage stated honestly	This is a seed directory covering Canada, and Ontario in more detail. It is not comprehensive and does not claim to be.

Found a record that is wrong, or a service that should be here? Tell us. Corrections take priority over new listings.
