The only thing I can say is that I have heard that CTC of A is a very expensive (for-profit !) corporation, and I have heard nothing good about them.

If it were me, I'd go to a CCC. They are not in any way the same.

Good Luck!

Bart

What a shame! Usually someone from the family or a close friend will notify me or another OCF member to pass the word.

Rest in peace Shawn.
