Hi all,

I'm reposting this from Michael Cormier (using an off-site addresss!)
which bounced to me.  I still have no idea if I'm receiving duplicate
bounces, or whether this actually made it to the list.  Sorry if it's a
dupe.

ciao,
Mark.

Subject: Re: re IP of the month

All;
    a motd sounds great, here's a list of what we have and what is actually
active under the Government and Politics areas.

The following sites are hosted 100% by the Chebucto community net.
    Nova Scotia NDP Caucus
    INDUSTRY CANADA (has a small site titled "Making the Connection: Your
Business and the Internet")
    HRM Solid Waste Services (Currently looking for an editor)
    HRM (Metro) Transit 2

Please note that Solid Waste Services & Transit 2 are "child" sites of "parent"
web sites on HRM's server. however Transit 2 (which i look after) has quickly
became the "parent" of the site on HRM's server. the Industry Canada site is a
small one and the Nova Scotia NDP Caucus site is 100% Chebucto,  however it does
have a large link to www.robertchisholm.net, a web server run somewhere in MTT's
network. Also note that the Nova Scotia NDP Caucus site is the only one under
the Politics area.


The following sites are just pages that re-direct or briefly say we have moved.
    Nova Scotia Department of Finance: Statistics Division
    Human Resources Development Canada
    Halifax Regional Municipality
    HRM Recreation and Leisure Services
    City Of Halifax
    Institute of Public Administration of Canada - Nova Scotia Group
    The Nova Scotia Legislative Library
    Maritime Municipal Training and Development Board
    Metropolitan Authority
    Nova Scotia Occupational Health and Safety Advisory Council's
    HRM Traffic & Transportation Services
    Halifax Regional Development Agency

In conclusion the Government area is looking pretty bad and could use some more
hit's. i plan to update the main government page sometime this weekend, as it
needs some links added and changed.

    Mike Cormier
    Government & Politics Area Editor.
