Yikes hundreds
There is a site i highly recommend. Google "The Motley Fool" and you will find a website that has absolutely everything you could ever possibly need.
PS never never ever ever ever invest on something you see on a posting board like this. Investing isn't buying a lottery ticket, its risking a lot money in an area that you know about, and a company you know a lot about because you know what questions to ask.
Have fun but be careful I have to go now and count my money ;-)L

Usually large companies that have a history of paying dividends over many years: banks, utilities, manufacturers.
Best thing is to ask the companies you 'd like to invest in if they have a DRIP.
Hope that helps a little.
You can get more info from the Canadian ShareOwners Association.
PS: brokers need to earn a living - so if you want to save on fees, check below and do it yourself.

As a former investment broker, I can tell you that most companies have a dividend reinvestment program... and if they don't, most brokerages can handle that dividend reinvestment for you anyway.
