History of Electronic Dance Music in the Maritimes

Recently I've been listening to and researching Giorgio Moroder. Listening to the song embedded below, from 1977, it's easy to identify elements of modern electronic dance music. Moroder has to be considered as one of the pioneers of music we classify as house or electro.

I've often wondered about the Maritime (or Atlantic Canada) music scene of the 1970s and 80s. Were there groups or performers from the Maritimes using drum machines and synths to create disco/dance/new wave sounding music? Unfortunately, I have never found any information online. Any help?

(on a related note, this lack of digital information reinforces the need to get more people online. We're going to lose a lot of historical knowledge if it's not digitally available.)
