To all:- Special thanks to Riverview Collegiate in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan -- a school project gave us 165 signatures -- plus the students learned a great deal -- many thanks to Katherine Fraser and the students. For other teachers who are in need of a social studies subject, we can recommend this topic -- when Bill S-18 is passed (and I am keeping fingers and toes crossed), records will be released from 1911 to 2001 at 10-year intervals, 92 years after enumeration. http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census Lots of information there -- more at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/post1901census.htm Remember, high school students, from Gr. 7 upwards, may sign. As of now, any Senate and Non-Resident petition must go directly to The Hon. Lorna Milne, Senator / Senate of Canada / Ottawa, ON / K1A 0A4 [FREE postage for Canadians] To be delivered to Senator Milne tomorrow: Adele Turner, Vancouver, BC ............. 10 Alberta Genealogy Society, G. Becker 15 Riverview Collegiate, Moose Jaw........ 165 Burlington Seniors' Centre, ON........... 16 Beverly Guy, Toronto, ON................. 13 Sudbury District OGS & Library........ 24 Dawn Cruickshank, Saint John, NB... 32 D. Bent, Family History Centre, New Glasgow, NS ...................... 10 Total of Canadian signatures = 314 Non-Resident signatures totalled 48 from the Newfoundland Reunion at Medford, MA. by Carolyn Murray - 24 signed the petition. Provinces not sending petitions include Newfoundland- Labrador, Manitoba, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut. The Canadian total will be over 33,000 for the Senate and Gordon Watts and his House of Commons petitions will bring the joint total to over 70,000. House of Commons petitions still go to Gordon, Senate DIRECTLY to the office of Senator Lorna Milne. Get into the habit of carrying petitions with you -- IF you desire the release of the census as I do. I am hopeful it will be released as a tribute to veterans -- 1911 was the last census prior to World War One -- some did not return. There are 65 committee members, including Gordon and myself -- 10 signatures each --equals 650 -- let's do it!! Also, please read Gordon's latest column -- packed with info! Muriel M.
