A short time ago I was contacted by Laurie Fagan, a reporter for the CBC 'Ontario Today' radio program. She was interested in interviewing someone in regards to Bill S-18. As she wanted to interview someone in the Ottawa area I suggested a number of people for her to consider. I have just received a message from John D. Reid (British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa) stating that he had been interviewed by Ms. Fagan this morning. He explained why the 1911 Census records would be useful for his research of his great-uncle, and that information in CEF attestation papers, freely available online, is far more personal than anything in Census. John stated that Ms. Fagan indicated that her item, including interview material from himself, Chad Gaffield (panel member of the Expert Panel on Access to Historical Census Records), and Senator Gerald Comeau (not one of those recommended by me), was scheduled for broadcast tomorrow (Thursday, 5 May), at Noon Ontario time. 'Ontario Today' is broadcast in Ottawa on FM 91.5, and I assume a number of other CBC stations in Ontario. It is accessible on the Internet from their website at http://www.cbc.ca/ontariotoday/ There is a link there for their audio feed. Click on 'Listen Live' 'Ontario Today' is a news and phone-in program running from Noon to 2:00 PM Ontario time. During the second hour they take calls from listeners. Numbers to call in are as follows: Phone-In line 1 to 2 p.m. ET Ottawa: 288.6493 throughout Ontario: 1.888.817.8995 Because the toll free number is labeled 'throughout Ontario' I assume that it will not be available to anyone calling from outside of Ontario. ====== From another memo:- Further to my posting earlier today, I received the following message from Ms. Fagan regarding the Ontario Today radio program. For those wishing to later comment regarding her item, the telephone number for the 'TalkBack line" is 1-888-591-4111 As was the case for the "Phone-In line" I assume this number will be working only for those calling from within Ontario. Those wishing to comment by email may use the form linked on their 'Contact Us' webpage located at http://www.cbc.ca/ontariotoday/contact.html# My thanks to Ms. Fagan for the further information.
