			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The web is an amazing resource.  You can find just about anything and everything that you might be looking for.  However somes and overabundance of options can be a problem.  Good lists of relevant links (point to the resources and things for which you are looking can be very helpful).</p>
<p>To this end I have added a <a href="http://www.themaples.ca/links/"><strong>links page</strong></a> to themaples.ca.  The idea here is to list stores, services, websites that are of value to us (the owners of The Maples).</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve started with a list of good restaurants and will slowly be adding stores, contractors, legal services, banks, financial advisors, dentists, schools, etc..</p>
<p>So if you know of a good link that you think others might find of value, send it my way and I will be happy to add it in &#8230;</p>
