I'm going to be looking for several people in Ontario who may or may not have an email address. Anyone give me a clue which free search engine or whatever may provide this?

As usual, many thanks for your help.

Search engines are free John

I recommend google for everything

but finding email addresses is not easy if that address is not used in a web page
that can be googled.

Best of luck!

As suggested use Google, however don't expect to find e-mail addresses of individuals as now, because of spammers, the trend is to not place e-mail addresses on web pages, since software robots read web pages looking for e-mail addresses to store in a database and then send spam to them.

If you use the online phone directory to locate the person, call them, and get their e-mail address... if you have a Shaw voip phone this gets cheaper to do.

will get you a national phonebook.

When using Google, check off `pages from Canada' before you hit the enter key.

http://www.google.ca/ still requires the check off done.
