From: Eric Snyder Date: Tue, 22 Feb 1994 17:13:50 -0500 (EST) Subject: DIGITAL CHICKEN A number of people have asked about the "Digital Chicken" fax gateway serving 416, 905 and 519 area codes in Canada. Here is the posting with detailed information. I saved this on Jan 6th so it could be a bit out of date. ************************************************************* D I G I T A L C H I C K E N ************************************************************* AN EXPERIMENT IN GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATIONS, AND INTERNATIONAL REMOTE PRINTING AND FAXING. Who? Digital Chicken is a new cooperative project between Dr. Robert Riley and Planet Communications & Computing, of Toronto. Digital Chicken c/o Dr. Robert Riley 157 Bastedo Avenue, Suite #2 Toronto, Ontario Canada M4C 3N2 Telephone: (416) 690-3833 Fax: (416) 778-5345 Internet: riley@chicken.planet.org What? The service provided by Digital Chicken is to allow people with Internet e-mail access to communicate quickly and efficiently with a variety of Canadian federal and provincial government and non-governmental agencies (e.g., the Prime Minister, Toronto Star, Toronto Blue Jays, Ontario Human Rights Commission). E-mail may be sent to any of these agencies, and upon receipt by Digital Chicken the mail is immediately forwarded via fax to the organizations office. In time, interested organizations will be shown how to access their e-mail directly, and in turn respond to your letters by e-mail. At the moment, however, replies to you will be via fax or regular mail. How? Refer to the following list of Digital Chicken member agencies. You may e-mail to the agency(ies) of your choice by using their 'nick' and sending mail to the following address: @chicken.planet.org Remember that at the present time you must include your correct name, postal mailing address, and/or fax number if you wish a reply from the agency. - ------------------------------------------------------------------ If you have any questions/concerns, or if you would like to see an agency/organization included in our service, please contact Digital Chicken at: riley@chicken.planet.org Further, if you wish to send a fax in the 416 or 905 area codes, you may send it to fax@chicken.planet.org and it will be forwarded on for you. Please make the subject line: FAX TO NOTE: PLEASE BE AWARE THAT E-MAIL IS NOT THE ROUTE FOR TRANSMITTAL OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. ANY SYSTEM OPERATOR, OF ANY SITE ON THE ROUTE YOUR MESSAGE TRAVELS, COULD READ YOUR MESSAGE. IT IS YOUR CHOICE AND RESPONSIBILITY TO USE E-MAIL WHEN AND WHERE APPROPRIATE. DIGITAL CHICKEN, DR. ROBERT RILEY, NOR PLANET COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTING FACILITY WILL BE HELD LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR USE OF THIS SERVICE, OR FOR FAILURE OF YOUR MESSAGE TO REACH IT'S INTENDED DESTINATION. THIS IS A FREE SERVICE--USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. *indicates organizations receiving e-mail directly - ------------------------------------------------------------- NAME USER NICK FAX - ------------------------------------------------------------- Metro Toronto Police Chief McCormack mccormac 416-324-6026 General metcop 416-324-0695 Public Complaints Bureau metcopcb 416-324-0551 Board of Commissioners metcopbr 416-324-0693 Ontario Police Public Complaints Commissioner opcctor 416-325-4704 Ontario Police Public Complaints Commissioner (South-West Region)-Windsor opccsw 519-973-1470 York Regional Police yorkcop 905-853-5810 Peel Regional Police peelcop 905-453-7370 Ontario Provincial Police opp 705-329-6195 Halton Regional Police haltcop 416-825-9416 Barrie Police Service barrcop 705-728-2971 Durham Police Service durhcop 905-433-5053 Guelph Police Service guelcop 519-763-0516 Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Police Service hamilcop 905-546-4752 London Police Service londcop 519-645-1908 Niagara Regional Police Service niagcop 905-685-5081 Orangeville Police Service orangcop 519-941-1279 Sarnia Police Service sarncop 519-344-6001 Waterloo Regional Police watercop 519-650-1793 Windsor Police Service windscop 519-255-6569 Municipal Governments Town of Ajax ajax 905-686-8352 Town of Oakville oakville 905-815-2025 *City of Mississauga jackl@city.mississauga.on.ca City of Toronto toronto 416-392-1446 June Rowlands, Mayor Toronto rowlands 416-392-0026 Councillors council 416-392-1050 Toronto Transit Commission ttc 416-485-9394 Chairman, Metro Toronto Council chairman 416-392-3799 Metro Toronto Zoo mtzoo 416-392-5934 City of Etobicoke etobicok 416-394-8895 Borough of East York eastyork 416-778-9134 City of North York noryork 416-395-7337 City of York york 416-394-2803 City of Brampton brampton 905-874-1119 City of Barrie barrie 705-726-0510 City of London london 519-661-4892 City of Windsor windsor 519-255-6868 City of Sarnia sarnia 519-332-3995 City of Hamilton hamilton 905-546-2095 City of Guelph guelph 519-763-1269 City of Kitchener kitchen 519-741-2705 City of Waterloo waterloo 519-747-8760 City of Niagara Falls niagara 905-356-0759 City of St.Catharines stcathar 905-682-3631 City of Welland welland 905-732-1919 City of Oshawa oshawa 905-436-5697 City of Whitby whitby 905-686-7005 Region of Durham durham 905-668-9963 City of Burlington burlingt 905-335-7881 City of Brantford brantfor 519-752-6977 Government of Ontario Premier of Ontario ontprem 416-325-3745 Minister of Agriculture & Food ontagri 416-326-3083 Ontario Film Review Board ontfilm 416-314-3632 Minister of Transportation onttrans 416-327-9185 Minister of Economic Trade & Development ontecdev 416-325-6918 Minister of Labour ontlabor 416-326-1449 Minister of Health onthlth 416-326-1571 Minister of Finance ontfin 416-326-9096 Ombudsman of Ontario ombud 416-586-3485 Chief Electoral Officer of Ontario elect 416-321-6853 Provincial Auditor (Ontario) ontaudit 416-324-7012 Lt.Gov. of Ontario ongltg 416-325-7787 Solicitor General and Minister of Correctional Service ontsolg 416-326-5085 Attorney General ontatg 416-326-4016 Minister of Natural Resources ontnatur 416-314-2159 Minister of Citizenship ontcitiz 416-314-0022 Minister of Consumer and Corporate Relations ontcons 416-326-5820 Minister of Community and Social Services ontsoc 416-325-5221 Minister of Education ontedu 416-325-2608 Royanl Commission on Learning rclearn 416-325-2956 Minister of Environment ontenvir 416-323-4682 Minister of Housing onthouse 416-585-6935 Ministry of Northern Development & Mines ontnorth 416-327-0665 Ministry of Culture, Recreation and Tourism onttour 416-325-6195 Minister Resp.for Women ontwomen 416-314-0253 MPP Don Mills donmills 416-696-0181 MPP Oakville-South oaksouth 905-842-0332 MPP Fort York fortyork 416-363-0835 MPP Lake Nipigon nipigon 416-327-0968 MPP Dovercourt dovercou 416-653-1054 MPP Etobicoke-West etobwest 416-695-1222 MPP Mississauga-South misssth 905-278-1525 MPP Oriole oriole 416-494-2440 MPP Downsview dwnsview 416-740-2474 MPP Eglinton eglinton 416-482-2776 MPP Etobicoke-Lakeshore etoblake 416-259-3704 MPP Beaches-Woodbine beachwd 416-421-3741 MPP Oakwood oakwood 416-781-4116 MPP Etobicoke-Humber etohumb 416-233-4321 MPP High Park-Swansea highpark 416-762-4499 MPP Lawrence lawrence 416-785-4524 MPP Mississauga-North missnor 905-826-4553 MPP Mississauga-West misswest 905-566-5264 MPP Etobicoke-Rexdale etobrex 416-745-5670 MPP Mississauga-East misseast 905-276-6933 MPP Brampton-North bramnor 905-840-7845 MPP Durham-West durwest 905-683-8643 Ms Lyn McLeod, Leader, Ontario Liberal Party ontlib 416-325-9895 Mr. Michael Harris, Leader, Ontartio Progressive Conservative Party ontpc 416-325-7810 Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Offices Information and Privacy Commissioner/Ontario ipcont 416-325-9195 Provincial Govt.
