Hi, Eddie, welcome to BYC. Start with the Learning Center at the top of the page. Study the forums and question away. Go to the "Social" forum click on 'Where are you? Where am !' and locate the Canadian threads to speak with your 'neighbors'.

You could do a search for "Canadians check-in here." thread to see what's up and how others handle the weather, predators, coops, and what breeds do best.
