Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee -------------------------------------- Greetings All. Files for updating the Post 1901 Census Project Website (at the URL following my signature) have just been sent and should be loaded to the server within a few days. These files bring the Hansard extracts, in both english and french languages, of Senate Debates relating to Census and Bill S-12 up to date as of 21 March. The next pages to be updated, aside from the MP and Senator Scoreboards, will be those for the Hansard extracts of Debates in the House of Commons. Other recent additions to the website have been pages relating to our Application for a Judicial Review in the Federal Court, the Town Hall Meetings, my Critique of the so-called 'Compromise Solution', and links to subscribe to the Canada Census Campaign mail list. On 15 March 2002 I sent an Access to Information Request for the Environice Research Report on the Town Hall Meetings and Focus Groups held in December and January. I received confirmation of receipt of my request on Wednesday, 20 March. Statistics Canada has 30 days in which to respond to my request. By law, they must either provide the Report, or if they intend to publish it within 90 days they can refuse my request. On Wednesday as well, I was advised that Professor Bill Waiser of the University of Saskatchewan, and one of our plaintiffs in the legal action, has submitted his own ATI request for the Environics Report.

    3. 1901 Census - Trenton # 1 # 97 James H. McLean, born 1832, married, farmer Margaret, born 15 Oct. 1840, married Margaret A., born 29 May 1863 Cassie E. , born 23 Dec. 1869, teacher Alexandrina R., born 1 March 1884 Christina Smith, born 25 April 1872 (listed as a servant) Margaret O. Smith, born 19Oct 1897, grand daughter. From the above, I take it that Christina was married , but was living with her parents at the time of the Census. This census doesn't show all the members that you have listed, but perhaps they left home or died before the count took place. Regards, Doug.
