Getting help

If the above don’t help, consult one of the following resources:

• The Alliance Canada Documentation wiki is the authoritative, though somewhat intimidating, source for information about Alliance Canada.
• WestGrid (the Western Canada division of Alliance Canada) has its own youtube channel where they post videos of past seminars/webinars.
• Sharcnet (the Ontario division of Alliance Canada) also has a youtube channel. Their “new users” webinars look useful.
• Contact Alliance Canada tech support.
