I am a Canadian resident and I was wondering how the city has been holding up.I've been hearing stories that nothing has been done to restore the suburbs and surroundings.Only the downtown part has been cleaned for events such as Mardi Gras.Is this true?Where can I find a site that the info is accurate? Thank you in advance.

Wikipedia's Katrina article has a section devoted to the aftermath of the hurricane: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina_%282005%29#Aftermath, more in depth information is available in separate articles:

There are also several links at the bottom of the page for many facets of the disaster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina_%282005%29#External_links

First, New Orleans is still in recovery.
The French Quarter (where it is a more famous location for Mardi Gras, but not the ONLY location. Mardi Gras is held EVERYWHERE in La.) was not as damaged from Katrina, cause it actually sits ABOVE sea level.
Clean up will take a LONG time to recover.
It is said, that a city/town takes close to 10 years to fully recover from a tornado. Imagine how long it could take New Orleans. And, that is if no other storm comes in and re-destroys what has already been recovered.
As to sites, go to www.google.com and search it.

Check out the New Orleans Times Picayune, the local paper there. Can't get much better than that. The website is nola.com.
