See Agile Info, here: http://www.leanagiletraining.com/resources.html
There is a whole LOT of info on and "beneath" this page. It includes: books, articles, blogs, yahoo groups, "user groups", etc, etc.
Local Groups: You should join a "local" group. Or start a local group or an "industry" group.
You should be aware of:
Agile Ottawa - http://agileottawa.wordpress.com/
I know there are other lean-agile-scrum groups in Ottawa. There is a Scrum Ottawa group...I think in Nepean.
Agile Ottawa also has a Yahoo presence, a LinkedIn presence and perhaps other ways of communicating.
If you want to look at other groups, see:

Suggestions:
We place the highest value on taking action and getting real results.
Put what you think you know into action. Now.
Find out what you don't know as well as what you thought you did.
Find out what you need to know the most. Now.
Learn more (for a bit). Act more.
Learn-Act. Get into a tight cycle. Like a PDCA cycle.
We want you to pursue this with perseverance and aggressiveness, and at the same time patience.
