Martin here. Didn't know I was on this list too, did you, Theresa? Unfortunately, I don't have those numbers. I'll send out the question on the Canadian Writing Centres Association list and let you know if I find out anything of use. Cheers!

Are you familiar with his new initiative the CWCA? I believe he has been compiling a list of Writing Centres and Services.
