To all:- Access to Information forms reports to both National Archives and Statistics Canada has slowed down -- summer-time??? Some have already been rejected, have sent a complaint letter to the Information Commissioner of Canada. Sincerely hope all have saved a copy of their ATI request and complaint letter for Gordon A. Watts. To understand what we mean, go to the following site http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/1911ati.htm Gordon has provided addresses for both Statistics Canada and for National Archives. You may copy his statement, if you prefer, but the statement must be general and ONLY request the 1911 census which was supposed to have been released June 1, 2003. [YOU cannot ask to search for any names -- that costs $48.15.] The form is the same for each one -- only change department in "Federal Government Institution" [National Archives or Statistics Canada] http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/gos-sog/forms/Acc-pri/350-57_e.rtf [Form may be saved in Wordpad - filled in on computer] A cheque for $5.00 must be sent with each form, made out to Receiver General of Canada [BONUS:- We may have a refund from National Archives!] Following YOUR letter of rejection (copy for Gordon), complain to John Reid, Information Commioner of Canada. The waiting period is at least 30 days plus "snail mail" time allowance. We apologize that only Canadians may send Access to Information forms -- but some "below the 49th" have relatives who do this for our American relatives -- the name and address must be Canadian! As we are paying the salaries of those in both departments, not directly, but through other means, let staff members remember the summer of 2003 as BUSY! Bottom line - we want the 1911 records released intact without any restrictions or stupid little tick-off boxes on 2006 census, etc. [Should anyone have questions -- please contact myself or Gordon Watts gordon_watts@telus.net] Muriel M.
