Canadian Foster Parents?

Due to a change in family circumstances (my son's 2 children are moving in with us), I am having to give up my in-home daycare. I would love to become a foster parent to 1 or 2 children.

I have tried Google, the foster care websites, the provincial government web sites, and phoning the foster care agency (all I get is a recorded announcement, and no call back), to try to get information on providing foster care. I have found a list of rules and regulations, but that's all.

Does anyone out there, preferably from Manitoba, have foster kids? And can you give me some information on foster care? I have lots of questions, as this is a big undertaking. Thanks for any information you can give me.
