Just be patient, folks!!!!! We still need petitions and wiping the BLUE off the board! Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee =========== IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM GORDON Greetings all. By this time, everyone should be aware that we have been expecting a major announcement regarding access to Post 1901 Census records to be made by Minister of Industry, Allan Rock. It was expected that this announcement would be made this coming Thursday, 16 January 2003. I have just been advised, however, that due to todays announcement regarding Mr. Rocks decision not to run for Prime Minister, his office decided to delay the announcement we have been expecting by a few days. It will now be made next Monday, 20 January 2003. The added delay may be frustrating to some, and no less so to members of the Canada Census Committee. We have been advised, however, that we will be very happy about the content of the announcement when it comes. Perhaps our 'joy' regarding the announcement will be enhanced by the delay -- somewhat like that of a child envisioning a trip to the ice cream store. Until Monday, we will wait and see. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.
