we became associated with the Canadian Public Employee Acquisition Club,
an affinity group not available to the general public. You can
access their site by clicking on their logo. We strongly encourage
you to register and gain access to the Key Link

are no fees or obligations. The only way you can see the great
specials is through this Key
Link.
