counsel on:
- physical access for people with disabilities;
- related architectural norms and practices; and
- modification of policies, practices, or procedures
for access to programs, services, transportation,
and facilities.
This list will *not* attempt to cover juridicial,

such as independent living centers;
- members and staff of relevant public commissions or
regulatory/legislative bodies;
- consultants in matters involving access; and
- individuals with disabilities.
References to ADA - the Americans with Disabilities Act
- are not meant to limit discussion only to matters
arising from that legislation. We seek knowledge and
greater awareness of comparable laws, regulations, and
activities at lower levels (e.g., states and local
jurisdictions) as well as in other countries.
As a 'value added' service, subscribers' references to
online resources (web sites and ftp files) will be
collected and published as web page(s), the extent
of indexing and frequency yet to be determined.

CAN-MAD on majordomo@ArmispianSystems.Rossland.bc.ca
----------------------------------------------------
The Can-mad list came out of a need to discuss madness
issues related to Canada outside of the overwelming
influence of issues that are either exclusively, or
almost exclusively related to the United States.
The list is about anything pertaining to mental health
issues in Canada. This can be general discusion about
mental health issues, or specific things which are
happening in Canada. What I set this up for was so
that there would be a forum away from the US issues
that specificaly Canadian issues
can be discussed.

we are doing what we feel is best for our children and
our marriages. This is a closed list that is actively
seeking new members that share our childcare
