Davidson > Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee > Brampton, ON Muriel, I found this information the other day and was rather saddened by the small percentage. It will make things difficult for future generations to get information... except for ours who will hopefully receive all the information we have spent years on gathering for ourselves and the generations within our families to come. Kim -------- >From Metro News: 56 per cent will release personal info The 2006 census marked the first time people were asked whether they consented to the release of their information in 92 years. Nationally, 56 per cent of respondents checked the Yes box the remainder either chose No or gave no reply at all. Historians and genealogists consider the information a gold mine that allows them to move past the numbers when writing Canadas history. CANADIAN PRESS
