Dear Daniel,
Thank you very much for doing this, and I hope you will solve the lookup by postal code problem for us, too.
It would be lovely if you could manage to do the same for provincial legislators. I don't know what else to suggest at the moment but I dare say you'll have requests from others.
Meanwhile, I'd like to ask you how widely you want those URLs spread around. If I forwarded your message as-is to all my activist friends, the traffic might well crash your server.
>From your e-mail address and your understanding employer, I'm guessing you work for Chebucto's community network. Am I right? If so, please pass my compliments along to your workmates, too!
Regards,
Judyth
