To all:- The Non-Resident petitions, bearing signatures, are very important at this stage of Bill S-18 going through the Senate of Canada. All Non-Resident petitions may be used after or for the Second Reading. Many have been received to date -- this information is being sent to states where I am personally researching or where I have family members. The Non-Resident petition is downloadable from http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/index.htm My name and address are there -- only used in the Senate. The complete address need not be given -- street address not needed -- but NAME, CITY, STATE, ZIP CODE Both Pages 1 and 2 are needed -- if one has signatures on Page 2. We have recommended the Canadian census release problems as a school topic for those in high school -- with petitions. There is sufficient information to complete a project. Looking forward to receiving petitions and for those in Maine, yes, I know how to pronounce Penebscot -- my mother was born in Bucksport, Maine! Canadians enjoying warmer climes in Florida or Arizona and with property in Canada, may use House of Commons, Senate or Non-Resident petitions. Attach a sticky note letting me know the Canadian address, plus the vacationing one. Much more information is available -- I will answer all questions. Muriel M.
