To all:- First of all -- should anyone desire to become a member of the Canada Census Committe, please contact me directly. Contrary to what I have requested previously, (mailing Senate and Non-Resident petitions directly to Senator Lorna Milne's office) I will now leave it up to the individual. Two envelopes visited Sunnybrook Veteran's Wing in Toronto over the weekend -- but I did not mail -- these will be tabulated and delivered before the next date of April 12. Several others have been received -- Fort Saskatoon, Alberta and Bakersfield. California today -- my grandson saves the different stamps. Prior to this, Jeff Paul, Senator Milne's policy advisor, may let us know is petitions may be needed -- it is better to be ready with some -- just in case. One request -- Any Canadian sending Senate petitions directly, are requested to let me know how many signatures. Please note -- and you may obtain more signatures -- street addresses are not needed -- that is OUR bit of privacy -- postal codes includes only six to twelve homes or one apartment building. Non-Resident petitions may also go direct but I like the fun of opening envelopes from many places I would like to visit. Another request to all Canada Committee Members --- Please check YOUR province -- should the province or territory not show 100% GOLD, please send a note to the Member of Parliament -- identify yourself as the Canada Census Committee member of that province. http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index6.htm http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/post1901census.htm [Senator Lorna Milne's webpage at latter site] Tip:- 100% == Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Yukon, PEI Senators At present I am leaving the Senators to Gordon -- we do not know who is for or against, as shown http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Senscore1.htm To date I have received a number of messages asking WHEN S-18 will arrive in The House of Commons -- plus one today from a Member of Parliament offering assistance with addresses of the NINE new Senators. IF all completed only Page 1, that would be 10 signatures each. Let's try for that goal!! It would be a great WELCOME BACK to Ottawa for Senator Lorna Milne. Sincerely, Muriel M. Davidson [email protected] Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Brampton, ON -- formerly Liverpool, Sydney, Dartmouth, NS
