I'm anxious to contact a cousin in Canada to inform her of the death of a relative. Does anyone know, please, if I can access Canada phone numbers? The person I'm trying to contact lives in Vancouver.

A google search brings up this site but I have no idea what it gives you:-

Thanks, Kath, I've looked at that one. Years ago - and I do mean years - someone on here pointed me in the right direction but I can't remember where that was. A lady called Deb in Vancouver found what I was looking for. I should have written it down at the time.

Have a look at this thread (nothing to do with what you want) but it was started by SylviainCanada. If you click on her name and send a private message she may be able to help.:-

Hope you didn't mind me suggesting getting in touch with you Sylvia - I just thought you wouldn't mind having a look for Annie.

Update for Kath.
Sylvia came up trumps and found the missing cousin and I've had a long conversation with her. My gratitude to you both.

So glad Sylvia could help you Annie. All's well that ends well, but so sorry for the loss of your relative.
