NONPROFITSCAN.CA

Managed by the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy (http://www.ccp.ca/), this site bills itself as "Canada's nonprofit information source." It provides giving statistics and nonprofit research and survey results, as well as links to other Canadian nonprofit information sites. You can also subscribe to and search its nonprofit Newswire.

CHARITY VILLAGE

Internet Prospect has reviewed this site before, so I'll just recommend taking a peek at "Canada's supersite for the nonprofit sector."
