I have been doing extensive research into Canadian WCs. As far as I can tell, none of the following Universities don't have a WC (or at least have no obvious web presence): BC Royal Roads University Canada West Alberta Athabasca U Augustana University College Canadian U-C Concordia U-C of Alberta King's U-C Taylor U-C U of Phoenix Manitoba U-C of the North Ontario Charles Sturt U Conrad Grebel U-C Renison U Assumption U Quebec U de Quebec à Trois Rivières U de Sherbrooke New Brunswick Lansbridge U U de Moncton (none on any of the 3 campuses) St. Stephens U U of NB - Fredericton Yorkville U PEI U of King's College Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of these. If you have any information (especially email address), please forward it to me. If anyone is interested, I'm also looking at colleges. There are proprtionally much fewer WCs in colleges than in universities, but I suppose that's not much of a surprise.

I am also wondering, watching the list of responses grow, if anyone knows of a university, other than SFU, which does not have a writing centre? Or even another post-secondary institution? Janet Giltrow and Michelle Valiquette began writing centre work at SFU around 1987 I think, (I'll check that) and the unit itself was dismantled around 1999/2000, about to be resurrected this year...or next...we hope...we're waiting for it!
