June 2002

The SPE Directory page enables you to research SPE Centres in the CASC/ACSS database by selected criteria. More criteria you select for your research, more specific your results will be. For example: if you select Nova Scotia as the Province and Atlantic as the Region, the query results will show you only the SPE Centres of the Province of Nova Scotia located in the Atlantic Region.

It is possible to display the results in either Detailed Result or Result as Directory. The Detailed Result will display the entire SPE Centres information for each SPE Centre who has met your selected criteria whereas the Result as Directory will display the SPE Centres information, in an address format, for each SPE Centre who has met your selected criteria. Please see the following pages for examples.

Tips: By typing a letter in the criteria field selected, the first known selection will appear. For example: if you click on the Province field, then type the letter “N”, the selection New Brunswick will appear. Each criteria field will enable you to scroll through all possible selections.
