To all:- The elected Members of Parliament have another "vacation" of a week, due to Victoria Day weekend -- should be back in Ottawa by the following Monday -- we hope! When your elected Member of Parliament is in his/her riding, we hope YOU will plan to visit YOUR Member - even if just to introduce yourself. Above all, you WOULD like to know any census thoughts. Go to <http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census> Check to see if YOUR Member of Parliament has a pretty GOLD tick mark (means YES), a RED "X" that means NO, or a BLUE QUESTION MARK. The blue question mark means he/she is undecided OR did not care enough to answer your letter. Your Member of Parliament works at your expense -- and for you --should he/she be in possession of a BLUE X, plan to visit! Prepare a letter as if you would be mailing it, complete with name of riding and any title. Either call the riding office to see when your MP is in the office -- or take a chance. By putting the letter (in an envelope) into his/her hand, preferably in front of witnesses, there will be no question the letter was not received. Above all, you would like to query your Member's view re census records release. Let us know of any happy outcome -- and should you receive a reply, we do not need the whole letter, just the part that tells YES, NO or otherwise. Gordon Watts is Keeper of the Scoreboard and needs this information (before any election). [The Scoreboard is out of date -- we need YOUR help!] A letter can be typed on a computer (save to disk), or by hand but let your Member of Parliament know YOU expect a positive response when there is mention of census release, also Access to Information Act, Bill C-206.

Roslyn Griston April 30, 2000 Re: Post 1901 Census Release Dear Expert Panel While considering all the other documentation regarding the release of the Post 1901 Censuses. Please consider, I am a child of people listed on these censuses. I will be listed on censuses from 1953 onwards. I hereby give my permission to have census information regarding me and my minor children to be open to viewing by researchers in the future. My children have a right to know their heritage and nationality. We are descended from British roots. My four year old daughter also, has Ukrainian roots. You will be denying her, her heritage and ability to find her national origins if you choose to support the lock up or the destruction of the Post 1901 censuses. Her great grandparents and family came to Canada in the decade of the Great War. Her grandfather can not remember family details. The censuses will provide this information for her and her two half siblings. Would you deny my nationality of being chinese, even if I were born in Canada? Certainly not, simply because you would be able to look at me and know my nation of origin identity. Because, I and my children are of Northern European descent does not mean we are not interested in our nation'(s) of origin. Nor should we be denied it. Nor should any other child of Northern European descent. My maternal grandfather's family came to Canada about five generations ago. I'm still trying to find out if he is of Irish or Scottish descent. The Post 1901 Censuses will enable me to research him. He died in 1944. His wife, my grandmother died in 1976. Their only child, my mother died in 1978. I know nothing of my grandfather. Who do you suggest I ask about him? The United Nations says I and my children have the right to our national identity. I am Canadian born, living in a multi cultural country. A country, often stated as a cultural mosiac. Are my children and I of the wrong part of the mosiac to have our inherited right of nationality protected? Would you deny a First Nations person the right to say they were a Canadian born, of the Cree or Sechelt or Huron nations? I believe the following two paragraphs could successfully be argued in court to return mine and others right to access information regarding our historic nation(s) of orgin. UNITED NATIONS Convention on the Rights of the Child Article 8 1. States Parties undertake to respect the right of the child to preserve his or her identity, including nationality, name and family relations as recognized by law without unlawful interference. 2. Where a child is illegally deprived of some or all of the elements of his or her identity, States Parties shall provide appropriate assistance and protection, with a view to re-establishing speedily his or her identity. I and my children have a right to know our nationality. It is part our cultural identity. Thank you for your time and consideration with this submission.

Muriel, The following was sent to the Expert Panel, as well as my MP, Bill Casey. I forwarded a copy to Gordon at the time, and he commented favorably on it. My reason for forwarding to you is to show another reason for release..namely a duty under our religion to do Family History. Also, I have signed the necessary petitions through the Colchester Historical Society; addressed three specific letters to my MP; one e-mailing to all Maritime MPs on the matter and anything else I can think of. Small thing that this is, if all who are interested in the matter do so, we get noticed and have some influence. Best regards, Tom Lynch ====================== Dear Esteemed Panel Members, The following was sent to my MP, Mr. Bill Casey a short while ago and I thought that there might be merit in sending a copy to yourselves. As you are no doubt aware, the reasons for petitioning for the revision of the Privacy Acts, post-World War One, are many. Some wish to follow their families back through time, using the census as a guideline or snapshot to keep them on track. This has worked well until the turn of the century, but for those who had great-or grandparents who immigrated to Canada post-1901,the census remains a closed book. In my case, I will never see the release of a census that will assist me, since my grandparents on my mother's side arrived in Canada in 1922, so would not show up until the 1931 census. They have been dead for over thirty years and the sole surviving child is my mother, who was only two years old at the time. Others wish to use the census as a control in establishing location of their families to aid them in tracking genetically -transmitted diseases. Of course the earlier census give locality, but in most cases deaths were not attributed to these diseases, since it would be years before they were properly identified. However, as post-1901 census material is released, the level of sophistication of data becomes greater and of greater usefulness to those people. As subsequent census are released, they will become more and more important to people struggling to track inherited or genetic diseases. Lastly, there are those of us whose religion demands that they identify and detail their ancestors. I have been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) for over 27 years and part of our belief is the redemption of the dead. We are charged with identifying our ancestors, compiling their vital statistics and taking these names to our temple where we perform ordinances on their behalf. I will not bore you with particulars, but this forms part of our duties as Church members and are taken very seriously. However, as mentioned above, the non-release of post-1901 census will seriously hamper these efforts. Most genealogists will tell you that post-1901, there are other avenues to pursue to acquire this data. As a genealogist, I have to agree to a point. If you have sufficient data such as birth dates or dates of death, and enough money, you can acquire birth, marriage or death certificates, but this is painstaking, expensive and supposes that you have a level of data in the first place, plus the expertise to pursue this material. We have reached a new century, so the old saw about post-1901 material being too recent to be released has lost its truth..this is now history and for many history that will be denied them if StatsCan has their way. What of those who came to this country in the last great waves of 1905-10, 1919-30, 1946-55? Are we telling them that because they arrived too late and fall under legislation that was clearly intended to assure census respondents of confidentiality for the foreseeable future, that they will never be able to gain access? Clearly, I think it is up to our legislators to bring a measure of common sense to the lawyer-bureaucrats of StatsCan. I, personally, have responded to the 1971, 1981 and 1991 census and have no wish to see that my grand-children or great- grandchildren are denied this information. As mentioned, I have used the 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 census to gain knowledge of my Lynch ancestors and those families that married into the line. I know their professions, where they lived, the sort of house they lived in, the numbers of children (in one case, discovering several great-aunts and -uncles that I had no inkling of!), their ages, their state of health, and in some cases, hints of their parents, who in later years resided with them. All of this from the census. With this, I will close, urging you to support our cause. It is one that is just, is popularly supported, and is justified, when one compares our stance with that of the US, who will be releasing their 1930 census soon, even though they too had similar legislation, limiting release. Let common sense prevail, mixed with a measure of compassion. Thomas G. Lynch, 28 Pleasant St., #3, Truro, NS, B2N 3R7 (902) 895-4142 lyncan@col.auracom.com
To all:- Check your television listings for May 27 for ceremonies in ottawa, when a representative UNKNOWN SOLDIER will be returned from Vimy to Canada - one of the unknowns from World War I. A group of "mourners", including Elsie Wayne (Saint John West, NB) will travel to Vimy next week to accompany the remains back to Ottawa. Many have worked on this plan for some time -- the Legion members, many others -- THE Unknown Soldier will represent all of the others buried in military and unknown graves and cemeteries. During the ceremony, soil from all provinces and territories of Canada will be used, as it is unknown from which area of Canada the soldier lived, his parentage. Muriel M. Davidson <davidson3542@home.com>
Hello Folks, There was a brief article in the Halifax Daily News yesterday (via the Canadian Press, sorry I don't have a URL) regarding the Prvacy Commissioner's admission that our government keeps an extremely detailed database on each of us. Is the Commissioner's report available online? I am amazed that he has the gall to claim that the release of ninety year-old data could pose some kind of danger to the public while at the same time admitting to the existence of such a database. He is probably quite right in his belief that the average citizen would be angry to learn that this database exists, but he must not be allowed to link here- and-now privacy issues with government custodianship of historical data. If he gets the public riled up about which government records are available to whom and why our cause may be negatively affected. Once the media, and therefore the public, gets hold of an idea it is very difficult to modify or alter that idea. Unfortunately, many people do believe everything hear from media. Perhaps another round of letters to editors ASAP might be in order.

Dear Mr. Hill: My name is Jack Hebert, and I live in Taylor, B.C., which is in your riding. I respectfully submit the following for your information and consideration, and, hopefully, action: There is a campaign going on to persuade the Canadian Government to release post 1901 censuses after a reasonable length of time - of 92 years is the norm. Our government, at the moment, leans toward not releasing them - ever, and indeed, seems bent on destroying them altogether. The non-release or destruction of these census records would rob all Canadians, and others who have Canadian roots, of access to their family heritage and history. I suspect Mr. Phillips is concerned that if census records were released, the information contained in them would be used unscrupulously, but I submit that no one is interested in any but their own family. A Mr. Gordon Watts, whose e-mail adress is above, is one of a committee spearheading this campaign, and has submitted a substantial presentation to the "Expert Panel" that has been convened to consider this matter. Muriel Davidson's e-mail address is also above, and has submitted a presentation concerning genetically inherited diseases and defects. You might consider contacting these people to get copies of their submissions. I really think it would be in your best interests, as in mine, to lend your support to this worthwhile campaign. Incidentally, I just very recently discovered that my wife has inherited two G.I.D.'s - diabetes, and some sort of retinal degeneration that is causing her to go blind. I, myself, was born with a condition called strabismus (cross-eye), and since it was not corrected by surgery in time, it caused a condition called amblyopia (a blind spot in the crooked eye to compensate for double vision.) I not only think it would be of medical interest for research, and therefore family records as contained in the censuses, but I hereby feel I would be remiss if I did not demand that access. I do not know if you have any interest in your own family history, but you just might have a G.I.D. in your family tree that you don't even know about - yet. It is an undeniable truth that our roots helped make us what and who we are, and to deny Canadians the right to delve into their past family history is not only a sacrilege, but a downright crime.

To all:- Several articles have been received from Victor Luce, a Census Committee member, about the former leper hospital at Tracadie, New Brunswick. Hopefully the documentary will be aired again. Muriel M. Davidson <davidson3542@home.com> =================================== A word or two -- The Halifax Herald - May 17, 2000 TREATED LIKE LEPERS A rather startling theme has cropped up among those scheduled for television viewing in the near future. A documentary, Island of Shadows: D'Arcy Island Leper Colony, 1891-1924, is to be aired on May 17 and is expected to bring a disturbing revelation to Canadians of yet another unfortunate chapter in the nation's history. Leprosy is not a prevalent disease in Canada, although most of the people of this country are aware of its fearsomeness if only because of the numerous references to it in the Bible. Even so, Canada has not been immune, and at one time not only had legislation governing the care of victims of the disease, but also supported two leper hospitals, one in British Columbia and the other at Tracadie, N.B. The forthcoming documentary is the story of the one on the West Coast, where most of the patients were of Chinese origin. Because of their affliction, virtually were condemned to live out their days in the segregation of what seemed to be an escape-proof prison. The leprosarium at Tracadie was very different in that most of the patients were white and the care accorded them was hospital-like. All of that, however, is now in the past, the availability of sulfa drugs having contributed to great changes in the treatment of lepers. Indeed, it is of interest to note that the announcement of the documentary about the D'Arcy Island leper colony comes at a time when word is being received of the closure of the last leper hospital in the United States, the institution at Carville, in Louisiana. Canadians may prefer to turn away from viewing the story of yet another blemish on the pages of the national history. Nevertheless, the fact remains and they who would be fully informed of the country's past cannot ignore it.
Hi, Muriel, I'm a retired Medical Laboratory Technologist, (CSLT as was) who trained at The Ontario Department of Health Laboratories in Toronto, the old Christie Street lab, graduating in 1960/61. When I first started working in hospitals nearly all children who were diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, the most common childhood leukemia, died. Thirty seven years later, the year I stopped working, most, in the 90 percentile range, are successfully treated and go on to live normal lives!

Dear Muriel, Would like to see the three-pager you mention. Currently, my mother, at age 80, is in the terminal stages of ALS, and we have been unable to identify any other member of her family in three generations that has contracted the disease. Of course, with the Goodyer arrival in Canada not happening until 1922, Canadian census material already in the public domain has been of little value. Even if we are successful in thwarting our Privacy Commissioner in his drive to deprive us of the post-1901 census, I will not live long enough to see the release of the 1932 results. Nevertheless, I wholly support our stand.. this information is ours, as the descendants of these people so enumerated. Sometimes I wonder what my father and his brothers who fought in WWII and Korea, and my grandfathers who fought in the Great War would think of the evermore constricting of our freedoms by pencil-pushers, lawyers and politicians, most of who haven't the foggiest notion of the sacrifices that were made to preserve our way of life!?

Exelon Also Known as ENA 713 or Rivastigmine Treatment: Intro | Aricept | Drug Trials Aricept Clinical Trial | Cognex | Exelon The following is provided for your information only and does not represent an endorsement of Exelon by the Alzheimer Society. What is Exelon? Exelon is a drug developed by Novartis Pharmaceuticals. It is currently being tested for the treatment of Alzheimer Disease. How will this drug help in the treatment of Alzheimer Disease? Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter -- a chemical in the brain that plays an important role in the transmission of information between nerve cells. The level of acetylcholine is lower in the brains of people with Alzheimer Disease compared to those without the disease. Exelon acts to increase the level of acetylcholine. It is hoped that by increasing the level of acetylcholine in the brain of people with Alzheimer Disease, some symptoms, such as memory impairment, will improve. Are there any known side effects? The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, headache and dizziness. A few people also experience lowered blood pressure. There is weight loss in the higher dose range. How large is this clinical trial? This study will involved the recruitment of 250 Canadian participants. The study is ongoing, but further recruitment for the trial is closed. What do the trials involve? This study involves a six-month treatment period where all participants will receive Exelon. Last reviewed/revised December 1999. ©Alzheimer Society of Canada 1999.

To all:- A copy of this day's activities was received from Senator Lorna Milne today, with a great deal of interesting reading. Of note, under PETITIONS:- POST-1901 CENSUS Mr. Murray Calder (Dufferin-Peel-Wellington-Grey, Lib.) Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition not signed by 100 Canadians, not signed by 3,000 Canadians, but signed by 6,000 Canadians. The petitions call for the release of the post-1901 census records after a reasonable period of time has passed. The census records are a tremendous resource for more than 7.5 million citizens who are currently engaged in family research. The post-1901 census records contain facts about the everyday lives of average Canadians. They tell about Canada's collective past, present and future. These records are not only the reference point for descendants of many immigrants wishing to trace their heritage, they are also an essential tool for genealogists everywhere. Therefore, the petitioners ask parliament to amend the Statistics Act to allow for the public release of the post-1901 census records. ============================= A copy of GENETICALLY INHERITED DISEASES has been forwarded to Murray Calder -- which we hope he will use in the future. I apologize for lateness of this petition -- but notification was not sent to me by Murray Calder's office. Canadian Petitions are still being received by Gordon Watts to assist Murray or others. The next presentation re census will likely be in the next session -- by then we will have the report of the Expert Panel. Muriel M.
